Smooth Air Ride
Patented air-bag suspension absorbs road shock between truck and trailer for a noticeably calmer ride.
Reduces Trailer Sway
Air cushioning keeps the trailer tracking straight through rough pavement, expansion joints, and crosswinds.
1-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Every Shocker Hitch is covered for 365 days against defects in material or workmanship, plus a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
Fast Installation
Drop-in fit using standard hitch pins — no drilling, welding, or special tools required to install.
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 it every time the truck slows or catches a seam in the concrete: that back-and-forth chucking that yanks the camper into the hitch and shoves it back again. It rattles cabinets, works on your slide-outs, and beats up your spine over a long day. The Shocker Air Ride Kingpin Box drops in as a direct replacement for your factory pin box and puts a patent-pending air ride between the road and your camper, soaking up that chucking before it ever reaches the inside. It keeps your kingpin, so the 5th-wheel hitch already sitting in your truck bed stays right where it is (no gooseneck conversion). Rated for 24,000 lbs total and 6,000 lbs on the pin, it buys you the smoother ride without making you rebuild your whole setup.

- Handles 24,000 lbs total and 6,000 lbs on the pin, real margin when the load rides heavy up front

Why Keeping Your Kingpin Makes Sense
Keep the 5th-Wheel Hitch You Already Bought
Already have a B&W, Reese, Curt, Demco, or Andersen 5th-wheel hitch bolted in the bed? You don't have to pull it out. This air pin box works with all the major 5th-wheel hitches, so that money stays in your setup.
Hook Up the Way You Already Know
You keep the 5th-wheel hookup you've done a hundred times. No relearning gooseneck ball alignment or auto-latch couplers. Slide in, lock, drive.
Steadier Behind a Long Rig
Long 5th wheels with a few slide-outs can track more steadily on a kingpin connection than a gooseneck conversion when you're threading through tight spots.
Costs Less Than Going Gooseneck
At an MSRP around $2,267 versus $3,040 or more for the Quick Air gooseneck Full Kit, you save roughly $770 if you don't need the truck bed freed up.
Two Variants, One for Your Pin Box
Check the label on your camper's factory 5th-wheel pin box and pick the variant that matches. Both deliver the same air ride and the same 24,000 lbs rating:
- SH-800-KP fits the Lippert 1621, 0719, and Rhino Box
- SH-800-KP-SH-GPB-Plates fits the Lippert 1716, 1116, 0115, and FabEx 500/503/520/530/560
- Both keep the factory kingpin, so there's no gooseneck conversion
- Both add the patent-pending forward-and-back air ride
- Both work with all the major 5th-wheel hitches in your truck bed
- Both reuse your existing pin box bolts
Two Paths to a Smoother 5th-Wheel Tow
Shocker gives 5th-wheel owners two real upgrade paths. Pick the one that fits what you care about most:
Air Ride Kingpin Box (this product)
Stays a 5th wheel and adds the air ride right at the pin box, so your in-bed 5th-wheel hitch keeps working. Around $2,267. This is your pick when you want to keep that hitch and don't need the truck bed cleared out.
Quick Air Full Conversion Kit
Converts you to gooseneck with a pin box, air hitch, and coupler, and it clears the slider out of your truck bed. Around $3,040 and up. Pick this when you want the bed back and smoother towing in one move.
Air Equalizer (Travel Trailer)
A different family, built for TRAVEL trailer owners rather than 5th wheels. It adds air ride to a weight-distribution hitch. Listed here just so you can find it.
Aimed Straight at the Back-and-Forth Chucking
A 5th-wheel kingpin passes road shock straight through as a back-and-forth chucking motion, and that's the worst kind for your cabinets, your slide-outs, and your back. The Shocker Air Ride Kingpin Box is the only 5th-wheel pin box on the market with air ride that works only in that forward-and-back direction. The built-in air bag catches the chucking before it ever reaches the inside of the camper. Owners tell us the ride gets noticeably calmer on concrete highways and rough back roads, with less long-term wear on slide-out mechanisms and frame welds.
What's Different From the Gooseneck Conversion
This is a kingpin replacement pin box, so there's no gooseneck coupler in the picture. The Shocker air ride is built right into the pin box and engages the kingpin head on the 5th-wheel hitch you already have in the bed. You don't need a gooseneck ball in the truck bed, and kingpin towing doesn't call for safety chains the way gooseneck does. The trade-off is simple: your 5th-wheel hitch keeps its spot in the bed, and in return you pay less and put in a lot less work.
