Simple rocker-arm pivot design delivers
smooth front-to-back movement, with no parallel linkages, shock absorbers, or torsion arms.
Air pressure is fully adjustable
to fine-tune ride height and load control — for heavy loads, just add air.
Fits the common factory 5th-wheel
pin boxes (Lippert 1716/1116 and Rhino-style frames), and 0115 and FabEx 500, 503, 520, 530, and 560 pin boxes.
Built-in air-ride system directs tow
resistance through an air spring for a smoother, safer tow — far less wear on your truck driveline and your camper's frame and welds.
Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.
Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.

What This Kit Converts
Replaces Your Factory Pin Box
Your camper's factory 5th-wheel kingpin pin box comes off. The Shocker gooseneck pin box bolts in using your existing bolt holes — no welding, no drilling.
Adds Air Ride at the Connection
The Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch slides into the new pin box. Its built-in air bag absorbs the chucking, jerking, and bangs that 5th-wheel kingpin connections transmit straight into the truck cab.
Lets You Tow Gooseneck
The included dual-latching Shift Lock coupler hooks to any 2-5/16-inch gooseneck ball in your truck bed and latches securely when lowered onto the ball.
Frees the Truck Bed
No more giant 5th-wheel slider hitch eating two-thirds of your bed. The gooseneck ball drops in flush and the rest of your bed stays usable.
Fits These OEM Pin Box Families
This product line ships in three variants differentiated by your camper's factory pin box. Check your existing pin box label before ordering — the kit you're viewing fits:
- Lippert 1716, 1116, 0115 and FabEx 500, 503, 520, 530, 560 — this kit
- Lippert 1621, 0719, Rhino Box — separate variant available
- Lippert Turning Point — separate variant available
- All variants share the same Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch, Shift Lock coupler, and 24,000 lbs rating
- Existing pin box bolts are reused for installation
Full Kit vs. Other Camper Conversion Paths
Several paths exist to upgrade a 5th-wheel camper. This is the most complete:
Full Conversion Kit (this product)
Gooseneck pin box + Shocker air hitch + dual-latching Shift Lock coupler. The complete bolt-on conversion to gooseneck towing — the default choice if you don't already own any of these parts.
Hitch Only (replacement)
Just the air hitch and Shift Lock coupler. Choose this if you already own a Shocker gooseneck pin box and need to replace the upper assembly.
Pin Box Only
Just the gooseneck pin box housing. The cheapest entry point — buy it now and add the air hitch and coupler later as a Phase 2 upgrade.
Air Ride Kingpin Box
Stays as a 5th-wheel kingpin but adds air-ride dampening. Choose this if you don't want to convert to gooseneck and prefer to keep your existing 5th-wheel hitch in the truck bed.
Why Air Ride Matters Most on a 5th Wheel
5th-wheel campers transmit road shock as a forward-and-back chucking motion through the kingpin — the worst kind of jerk to feel inside the camper or the cab. The Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch is the only air ride hitch designed to work exclusively in that forward-and-back direction. The built-in air bag absorbs the chucking before it reaches the cabinets, slide-outs, dishes, or your spine. Owners report fuel savings of 1-2 mpg, less wear on the truck driveline, and a noticeably calmer ride.
Important: Safety Chains Sold Separately
Gooseneck towing legally requires safety chains. The Shocker gooseneck safety chain kit is required and sold separately. Your existing pin box bolts are reused — no new mounting hardware needed. A 2-5/16-inch gooseneck ball must already be installed in the truck bed (not included). Optional lock: the Shocker Shift Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock with puck lock (SH-9000-315) is available separately.
