Smoother Safer Towing
Air ride towing technology with a heavy duty built in air spring to cushion the ride & absorb the road shock. Cushions the bumps, bangs, jerks and tugs experienced when towing with a pintle.
Built in HD Air Ride System
Absorbs road shock, creates smooth ride & reduces tendency to trailer sway. Dual rubber bump cushions also offer additional HD performance.
Improves Safety
By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.
Provide 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.
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 hard stop and every frost heave sends a jolt up the drawbar, and a rigid ball mount has nowhere to put it. That energy drives straight into your truck's driveline, your trailer welds, and whatever you've loaded in back. The Original Shocker Air Hitch is the red-powder-coat workhorse that started the air-ride hitch category, and it fixes that by putting an air spring between truck and trailer to soak up the pounding before you ever feel it. This Shocker Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount slides into a 2-inch receiver on F-150-class half-ton trucks (and class III/IV receivers) and carries 14,000 lbs GTW on Shocker's standard 8-hole chassis. Air it up or bleed it down to match the load, and haul livestock, boats, travel trailers, or contractor cargo the same smooth way on the highway or on gravel, all on a stock-suspension full-size pickup.

How Shocker Air Ride Works
Built-In Air Spring
A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and catches the jerking, tugging, and hard impacts before they reach your truck or trailer. Nothing bolts solid to solid, so the shock stops at the hitch instead of climbing up into the cab.
Adjustable for Any Load
Pump air in for a heavy load, bleed it out for a light one. A quick pressure adjustment sets the hitch at the right ride height every time you hook up, so an empty stock trailer and a loaded one both tow level.
Rocker-Arm Pivot
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion rides on one single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags to wear out. Fewer moving parts means less to fail and a longer working life.
Dual Bump Cushions
Two backup rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag can't fully swallow, like a pothole hit while loaded, so there is always a second line of defense under a heavy strike.
Who Buys the Original 14K
Built for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on the roads you actually drive.
- Livestock haulers who live on gravel and section roads and want the animals riding easier
- Boat owners bouncing over rough launch ramps and slab-seam highways
- Travel-trailer and toy-hauler owners chasing a calmer, quieter ride up front
- Contractors dragging equipment, cargo, and enclosed work trailers all week
- RV motorhome owners with a 2-inch receiver under the bumper
- Anyone on an F-150-class half-ton truck (and class III/IV receivers) who wants the original red-finish workhorse
Sway Control: Two Configurations
The Original line comes with or without sway-control tabs, depending on which ball-mount attachment you pick:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
Right for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and any load that doesn't need friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride motion already calms sway on its own, so most of these loads never need more.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Adds welded tabs to bolt on a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). Worth it for tall travel trailers and high-profile campers that get shoved around by crosswind and passing semis.
Flip It for Drop or Rise
A trailer that rides nose-up or nose-down chews its tires and carries its weight wrong, so getting the coupler level matters. This Shocker Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount ships set at 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over to turn drop into rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune the coupler height in between. Low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or tall camper behind a stock pickup, the geometry adapts to sit it level.
Built to Last
This thing takes a beating and keeps working. Heavy-wall steel under an impact-resistant safety-red powder coat that shrugs off stone chips and road salt, in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait. The air bag is the same multi-ply rubber that lives under commercial truck air suspensions, and if it ever wears out you can swap it in the field in minutes.
