Shocker 14K Air Pintle Hitch - Fits 2-1/2" Hitch, 2-1/2"Rise 6-1/2"Drop

You feel it on every rough stretch. The jerk at the hitch over a frost heave, the chucking back and forth on washboard gravel, the hard yank on a panic stop that slams through the truck and rattles your load. A solid drawbar has no give, so every hit runs straight into your driveline, your trailer welds, and your cargo.

The Original Shocker Air Hitch drops an adjustable air spring between truck and trailer to soak up those hits before they reach you. It's the red powder-coat workhorse that started the air-ride hitch category, hauling up to 14,000 lbs with 1,400 lbs on the tongue on Shocker's standard 8-hole chassis.

It fits the 2-1/2-inch receiver on F-250 and RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers), and this build ships with a pintle hook and mount for livestock, boats, travel trailers, and contractor cargo, on the highway or the section road.

Built-In Air Spring: A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and soaks up the jerking, tugging, and hard hits before they ever reach your truck or trailer. There's no rigid connection passing the shock straight through.

Adjustable for Any Load: Pump in air for a heavy load or bleed some off for a light one. Set the pressure so the hitch rides at the right height every time you hook up.

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 parts moving means fewer parts wearing out, so it lasts.

Dual Bump Cushions: Backup rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag can't fully swallow, giving you a second layer of protection when the road really hits hard.

Built for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on real-world roads.

Livestock and stock-trailer haulers pounding gravel and section roads

Boat owners on rough launch ramps and slab-joint highways

Travel-trailer and toy-hauler owners chasing a calmer cabin

Contractors hauling cargo, equipment, or enclosed work trailers

RV motorhome owners with a 2-1/2-inch receiver under the bumper

Anyone on an F-250 or RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton truck (class V receiver) who wants the original red-finish workhorse

The Original line comes with or without sway-control tabs, depending on the ball mount you choose:

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 design already helps settle sway on its own.

Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs: Adds welded tabs for a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). Go this way for travel trailers and tall campers that catch crosswind and start to wander.

This Shocker Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount ships in a 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over to turn drop into rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height.

Whether you're pulling a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, you can get the trailer sitting level.

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 found in commercial truck air suspensions, and you can swap it in the field in minutes. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
