Smoother Safer Towing
Air ride towing technology with a heavy duty built in air spring to cushion the ride & absorb the road shock. Add instant air ride to your pickup & trailer.
Built in Air Ride System
Absorbs road shock, creates smooth ride & reduces tendency to trailer sway. Dual rubber bump cushions also offer additional HD performance.
Provides Comfort
With a smoother ride! Travel a lot on concrete highways? No more jarring every time you cross a section divider. Your Shocker air hitch absorbs the thumps and bumps.
Improves Safety
By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air bag receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.
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.
Every jerk and tug off a bumper-pull trailer travels straight up a solid drawbar into your truck, your trailer welds, and everything you're hauling. Frost heaves, washboard gravel, and hard highway stops turn into the harsh chucking you feel in the cab. The Original Shocker Air Hitch is the red-powder-coat 14K workhorse that started the air-ride category, and it soaks up that shock before it ever reaches you. Sized for F-150-class half-ton trucks (and class III/IV receivers) with a 2-inch receiver, this Shocker Air Hitch & Chrome Combo Ball Mount & Sway Bar Tabs handles 14,000 lbs GTW of adjustable air-ride towing 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 highways and gravel roads alike.

How Shocker Air Ride Works
The Air Spring Takes the Hit
A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and swallows the jerks, tugs, and impacts before they reach your truck or trailer. There's no hard steel connection passing shock straight through the frame.
Adjustable for Any Load
Air up for a heavy load, bleed some off for a light one. You set the pressure so the hitch rides at the right height every single time you hook up.
Rocker-Arm Pivot
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion runs on one single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags. Fewer moving parts means it holds up longer.
Dual Bump Cushions
Two backup rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag can't fully absorb, so you've got a built-in safety margin when the road really hits hard.
Who Buys the Original 14K
Built for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on real-world roads.
- Livestock haulers pounding gravel and section roads all season
- Boat owners towing off rough launch ramps and slab-concrete highways
- Travel-trailer and toy-hauler owners who want a calmer ride in the cab
- Contractors pulling cargo, equipment, and enclosed work trailers
- RV motorhome owners with a 2-inch receiver under the bumper
- Anyone on an F-150-class half-ton truck (or class III/IV 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 choose:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
Great for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and any load that doesn't need friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride design already cuts down on sway tendency on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Comes with welded tabs so you can bolt on a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). The pick for travel trailers and tall-profile campers that get pushed around by crosswinds.
Flippable Drop / Rise Geometry
This Shocker Air Hitch & Chrome Combo Ball Mount & Sway Bar Tabs ships in a 1/2" to 4-1/2" Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over, so you can turn that drop into a rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height to the inch. Tow a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, and the geometry works either way.
Built to Last
Heavy-wall steel takes the beating, and the signature impact-resistant safety-red powder coat shrugs off the chips that come with real towing. It's in stock and ships direct from Canada, so there's no border wait. The air bag is the same multi-ply rubber used in commercial truck air suspensions, and you can swap it in the field in minutes. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
