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 every mile the hard way with a rigid drawbar. The trailer chucks and tugs, the jolts come straight up through the seat, and all that pounding grinds on your truck's driveline, your trailer's welds, and everything you loaded. The Original Shocker Air Hitch is the red 14K workhorse that started the air-ride hitch category, and it takes that beating for you. Slide it into the 2-inch receiver on an F-150-class half-ton truck (or any class III/IV receiver) and the built-in air spring absorbs the shock before it ever reaches you. It hauls up to 14,000 lbs of gross trailer weight on Shocker's standard 8-hole chassis, enough for the heaviest load most half-tons will ever pull, and it does the job for livestock, boats, travel trailers, and contractor cargo whether you're on the highway or a gravel section road.

Installation

How the Air Ride Soaks Up the Road
Built-In Air Spring
A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and takes the jerking, tugging, and pounding before any of it reaches your truck or trailer. There is no rigid metal-on-metal connection passing the hit straight through.
Adjustable for Any Load
Add air when you are loaded heavy, let some out when you are running light. Set the pressure and the hitch sits at the right ride height every time you hook up, empty or full.
Rocker-Arm Pivot
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion rides on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags to seize up. Fewer moving parts means it keeps working season after season.
Dual Bump Cushions
When you hit something big enough to bottom out the airbag, two backup rubber cushions catch the extreme jolt. It is a built-in safety margin for the worst hits the road throws at you.
Who the Original 14K Is For
Built for stock-suspension full-size trucks pulling mid-weight bumper-pull loads on the 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 smoother ride in the cab
- Contractors hauling cargo, equipment, or enclosed work trailers
- RV and 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 workhorse
Sway Control: Two Ways to Set It Up
Depending on the ball-mount attachment you pick, this line comes with or without welded sway-control tabs:
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 the tendency to sway on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Comes with welded mounting tabs so you can bolt on a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). Worth it for travel trailers and tall campers that get pushed around by crosswinds.
Get the Trailer Sitting Level
A trailer that rides nose-high or nose-low fights you the whole way and wears its tires uneven. This Shocker Air Hitch & Drop Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball ships set up for 4-1/2" to 8-1/2" of drop. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over, so you can turn that 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, you can get it sitting level.
Built to Take the Abuse
Towing gear lives outside in road salt, gravel, and weather, so this one is built to take it. 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 commercial truck air suspensions run, and if it ever wears out you can swap it in the field in minutes. Every one is backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
