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 every time the trailer chucks against the truck. The jerk through the hitch on frost heaves, the slam on a hard stop, the constant pounding that works loose trailer welds and rattles whatever you're hauling. A solid steel drawbar passes all of that straight into your driveline and up your spine. The Original Shocker Air Hitch is the red-powder-coat 14K that started the air-ride category, and it drops a cushion of adjustable air between your truck and the load. It fits F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers) with a 2-1/2-inch receiver, and this Shocker Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball & Sway Bar Tabs handles 14,000 lbs GTW on Shocker's standard 8-hole chassis. It's built for stock-suspension full-size pickups pulling livestock, boats, travel trailers, and contractor cargo, on smooth highway and washboard gravel alike.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 14,000 lbs GTW and 1,400 lbs of tongue weight, the heaviest bumper-pull loads a three-quarter-ton will carry, on the original 8-hole chassis
- Drops into the 2-1/2-inch receiver on F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers)
- Add or release air to match the load, so the ride stays smooth whether the trailer is empty or maxed out
- Rocker-arm pivot does the work on one joint, with no slides, rollers, or parallel linkages to wear out

How Shocker Air Ride Works
An Air Cushion Under the Tube
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. There's no hard steel connection passing the shock straight through.
Dial It In for Any Load
Heavier trailer, add air. Lighter one, let some out. Set the pressure and the hitch rides at proper height every time you hook up.
One Pivot Does the Work
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion runs on a single rocker-arm pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to wear out and a longer service life.
Backup Bump Cushions
Two rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag can't fully swallow, so you've still got a safety margin left when the road really hits hard.
Who Buys the Original 14K
Made for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on real roads, not just smooth pavement.
- Livestock and stock-trailer haulers running gravel and section roads
- Boat owners crossing rough launch ramps and slab-seam highways
- Travel-trailer and toy-hauler owners who want a calmer cab
- Contractors pulling cargo, equipment, or enclosed work trailers
- RV motorhome owners running 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 Configurations
The Original line comes with or without sway-control tabs, depending on the ball-mount attachment you pick:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
Best for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and any load that doesn't call for friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride design already tames a lot of sway on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Adds welded mounting tabs for friction sway-bar kits (sold separately). The pick for travel trailers and tall-profile campers that get shoved around by crosswinds and passing semis.
Set the Ball Height to Match Your Trailer
This Shocker Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball & Sway Bar Tabs ships with a 2" Rise to 2" Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over, so you can turn drop into rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height from there. Tow a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, and the geometry lines up level either way.
Built to Last
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 that rides under commercial truck air suspensions, and on the rare day it needs it, you can swap it in the field in minutes. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
