The details that matter

Product overview

A rigid weight-distribution setup levels the load fine, but every frost heave and hard stop still slams straight up the bars, into the truck, and back through the trailer. You feel it in your hands, and your camper feels it in every screw and seam.

Key highlights

  • Runs with the Shocker XR Hitch and a WD hitch. You need the XR in the receiver for the Air Equalizer to work.
  • Soaks up road shock and cushions the ride when you're towing a camper on a weight-distribution hitch.
  • Rated for real campers: 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,200 lbs tongue weight.
  • Built for pickup trucks. It will not work on SUVs or CUVs with coil-over springs in the rear.
  • Built-in air ride plus four bump cushions send the road shock into the air spring bag instead of your hands. Dial in height and firmness by adding or releasing air to match your trailer and its load.
  • Bolts to Shocker WD hitches and most major heads: Fastway E2, Equalizer, Reese, Husky, Pro Series, Torklift, Blue OX, Camco Eaz Lift & Curt round bar, Curt trutrack & trunnion head. Measure your head first: it fits 2-1/2″ or 3-3/4″ center-to-center bolt patterns. It does not fit Anderson chain style or B&W Continuum.
  • A rocker-arm pivot lets it work front-to-back, a different motion than the cushion hitches most people have tried.

Check your fit before ordering

  • It will not work on SUVs or CUVs that use coil-over springs in the rear.
  • Designed exclusively for pickup trucks, this unit is not compatible with SUVs or CUVs featuring rear coil-over springs.

Absorbs Road Shock

Air equalizer absorbs the road shock & cushion the ride when towing a camper with a weight-distribution hitch

Heavy Duty Camper Towing

12,000 lbs Gross Trailer Weight & 1,200 lbs Tongue weight capacity.

Full product description

The Air Equalizer is a heavy-duty towing solution designed specifically for use with the Shocker XR Hitch (Must have XR to work) and a compatible weight-distribution (WD) hitch system.

Engineered to absorb road shock and deliver a smoother towing experience, it features built-in air ride technology and four bump cushions that redirect jolts and vibrations through an internal air spring bag. This unique combination of cushioning and adjustability helps reduce driver fatigue and minimizes wear on both the trailer and towing vehicle.

With a 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity and 1,200 lbs tongue weight limit, the Air Equalizer is ideal for towing larger campers and trailers with confidence and control. Designed exclusively for pickup trucks, this unit is not compatible with SUVs or CUVs featuring rear coil-over springs.

The Air Equalizer's simple rocker arm pivot design provides forward and backward motion for effective shock absorption different from traditional cushion hitches. It bolts directly to Shocker WD hitches and works with many major WD hitch brands, including Reese, Husky, Curt, and more, provided they use bolt hole patterns of 2-1/2" or 3-3/4" center-to-center.

Installation is quick and hassle-free, and the height and air pressure can be easily adjusted based on trailer weight, ensuring optimal performance on every haul.

All features & technical notes

About this product

A rigid weight-distribution setup levels the load fine, but every frost heave and hard stop still slams straight up the bars, into the truck, and back through the trailer. You feel it in your hands, and your camper feels it in every screw and seam. The Shocker Air Equalizer sits between your WD hitch and the road and takes that beating for you.

Built-in air ride and four bump cushions push the jolts into an internal air spring bag instead of your rig, so the ride settles down and you climb out less worn out at the end of the day. It runs with the Shocker XR Hitch and a compatible weight-distribution head (you need the XR in the receiver for it to work), and it handles trailers up to 12,000 lbs.

Less pounding on the truck, less rattling on the trailer, and a hookup that stays composed when the road doesn't.

What It Fits

Pickup trucks only. It will not work on SUVs or CUVs that use coil-over springs in the rear.

Bolts to Shocker WD hitches and most major weight-distribution heads: Fastway E2, Equalizer, Reese, Husky, Pro Series, Torklift, Blue OX, Camco Eaz Lift & Curt round bar, Curt trutrack & trunnion head. Measure your head first: the air equalizer fits heads with a 2-1/2″ or 3-3/4″ center-to-center bolt hole pattern.

It does not work with Anderson chain style or B&W Continuum weight-distribution hitches.

What It Does On the Road

Works only with the Shocker XR Hitch in your receiver, paired with a WD hitch. No XR, no ride.

Soaks up road shock and cushions the ride when you're towing a camper on a weight-distribution hitch.

Built for heavy campers: 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,200 lbs of tongue weight.

Built-in air ride plus four bump cushions route the road shock through the air spring bag for a smoother pull. It has built-in height adjustment and is weight adjustable, so you add or release air to match the trailer and everything loaded in it.

A rocker-arm pivot gives it a front-and-back motion, which works differently than the other cushion hitches on the market.

When You Need Weight Distribution

When the tongue weight rides heavy, it squats the back of the truck, lifts the front, and lightens your steering right when you want it planted. A weight-distribution hitch shifts that tongue weight back onto the truck's front axle, so the rig sits level and steers straight. Plan on one once tongue weight climbs past about 10% of the truck's payload rating.
