All features & technical notes

Features

Smoother Safer Towing Every Mile - Bolts to Existing WD Hitch: Add bolt on air ride towing to your pickup & camper with an equalizer, weight-distribution hitch in minutes. (easily bolt your existing weight-distribution head to air equalizer). WD hitch is not included (sold separately).

It filters and absorbs road shock, tugs, jerks, bumps, bangs, and sways through the built in air ride suspension system, creating a smooth ride for the tow vehicle utilizing a compatible wd hitch and the camper trailer.

It directs the normal towing resistance between the tow vehicle using a weight distribution hitch, and the trailer through the air ride system, which produces a much smoother ride. It also naturally reduces trailer sway by filtering and absorbing the changing tongue weight that occurs when towing on uneven or rough roads.

Reduces Stress, Breakage, Wear & Tear on Truck, Trailer, Cargo & Equipment: Our air ride equalizer for a WD hitch reduces wear and tear on the pickup truck, driveline, trailer and frame. The shock absorbing and dampening design of an air hitch creates less stress on tow vehicle and trailer.

Less stress means less wear and tear on both the tow vehicle and the trailer frame and welds. It's a must have for newer trailers with aluminum frames that tend to crack because of rough roads and a traditional hard truck to trailer connection. An air ride hitch will greatly reduce the chances of frame cracking and breaking.

Fits 3" Receiver Hitch Only: Only fits select 2017 & new Ford F350 & F450 Dually pickups with 3" receiver. Adjustable for Rise or Drop with 12,000 lbs of GTW: Get 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight & 1,200 lbs tongue weight capacity. 9" of Adjustment of 5" rise to 4" drop. Fine tuned for your towing weight. Just add air for heavier loads.

Compatible with Most Major Brand Weight Distribution Hitches: Fits & bolts to most major brands of weight-distribution hitch heads: Fastway E2, Equalizer, Reese, Husky, Pro Series, Torklift, Blue OX, Camco Eaz Lift & Curt round bar, Curt trutrack & trunnion head).

Measure your head, the air equalizer fits heads that have 2-1/2" center to center or 3-3/4" center to center bolt hole patterns. (Does not work with Anderson chain style or B&W Continuum weight-distribution hitch) Easily Adjust Air Pressure for Ride Comfort, Trailer Tow Weight & Load Control: You can easily fine-tune and adjust the air pressure for the best ride and load control on every trip.

For heavier loads, increase the air pressure; for lighter loads reduce it. A cushion, steel spring or torsion hitch is not adjustable for tow weight or tongue weight. The air ride equalizer, when used with a compatible weight distribution system, allows for better control of your pickup & trailer.

Reduces Stress on Passengers & Animals: Passengers and animals experience less stress while being towed. The shock dampening design effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging, bumps and damaging forces experienced when towing on rough roads and concrete highway, which you would normally feel with a typical hard connection.

This makes the ride smoother and less stressful inside the tow vehicle and the trailer. Saves Money & Improves Fuel Economy: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer & cargo. The air equalizer absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection.

This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds & doing other long-term damage to your equipment & valuable cargo. Customers report 1 to 2 miles per gallon because the tow vehicle & trailer work together better with less friction, which reduces downshifting and improves performance.

Air Ride Equalizer Hitch Kit includes: Air Equalizer with built-in air ride system, adjustable XR channel hitch for 3" receiver, and 2 "D" handled hitch pins w/clips. Does not include a Weight Distribution Hitch, which is available and sold separately.

Premium Matte Black Powder Coat Finish: Constructed out of heavy-duty steel that is finished with a premium textured black powder-coat finish on the air equalizer & the XR hitch.

20+ Mount Attachment Options: The XR channel hitch, when not used with this air equalizer, also works well with all our Shocker bumper hitch ball mount attachments, which include Combo Ball, Drop, Raised, Sway Bar Tab Options, Pintle, Pintle with Ball, Drawbar, Clevis Pin, Shackle & More. How to set the air?

After you hook up WD bars, air the hitch until the truck side bump cushions are not compressed. If the trailer side bump cushions are compressed, you have too much air in the air ride system. See video Safety Notice: Towing capacity is limited by the lowest rated component. Manufactured by Shocker Hitch® USA in Jamestown, ND.
