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.
You feel it in your spine on every washboard road and every hard stop. With a solid drawbar, the jerk and chuck between truck and trailer has nowhere to go, so it hammers your driveline, your trailer welds, and whatever you are hauling. The Original Shocker Air Hitch is the red-powder-coat 14K workhorse that started the whole air-ride hitch category, and it puts a stop to that. A built-in air spring soaks up the jolts before they ever reach you. Sized for F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers) with a 2-1/2-inch receiver, this Shocker Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2-5/16" Ball gives you 14,000 lbs GTW of adjustable air-ride towing on Shocker's standard 8-hole chassis. Whether you run a stock-suspension full-size pickup loaded with livestock, a boat, a travel trailer, or contractor cargo, it smooths the ride on the highway and the gravel alike.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 14,000 lbs GTW and 1,400 lbs on the tongue, enough for the heaviest trailer you'll put behind a three-quarter-ton, on the original 8-hole chassis

- Rocker-arm pivot does the work with no slides, rollers, or parallel linkages to wear out

How Shocker's Air Ride Smooths the Ride
Built-In Air Spring
A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and soaks up the jerks, tugs, and impacts before they ever reach your truck or trailer. Nothing is bolted solid, so the shock stops at the hitch instead of running through you.
Adjustable for Any Load
Air up for a heavy trailer, bleed it down for a light one. Set the pressure so the hitch rides at the right height every time you hook up, no matter what is behind you.
Rocker-Arm Pivot
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion runs on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to wear out and a longer service life.
Dual Bump Cushions
Two backup rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag cannot fully swallow, so you have a built-in safety margin when the road throws its worst at you.
Who Runs the Original 14K
Made for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on the real roads you actually drive.
- Livestock and stock-trailer haulers pounding gravel and section roads
- Boat owners bouncing over rough launch ramps and slab-joint highways
- Travel-trailer and toy-hauler owners who want a calmer cab
- Contractors towing cargo, equipment, or enclosed work trailers
- Motorhome owners with a 2-1/2-inch receiver under the bumper
- Anyone on an F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton truck (class V receiver) who wants the original red-finish workhorse
Sway Control: Two Ways to Set It Up
The Original line comes with or without sway-control tabs, depending on the ball-mount attachment you pick:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
Right for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and any load that does not need friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride design already cuts down sway tendency on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Adds welded tabs so you can bolt on a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). Worth it for travel trailers and tall-profile campers that catch crosswinds and start to wander.
Flip It for Drop or Rise
This Shocker Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2-5/16" Ball ships in a 2" Rise to 2" Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts are reversible, so you can flip the mount to turn drop into rise, or work the 8 adjustment holes to fine-tune coupler height. Tow a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, and the geometry adapts to get your trailer sitting level.
Built to Take a Beating
Heavy-wall steel under Shocker's signature impact-resistant safety-red powder coat, in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait. The air bag is the same multi-ply rubber used in commercial truck air suspensions, and if it ever wears out you can swap it in the field in minutes. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
