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.
Haul a loaded equipment trailer down a rough highway behind a 1-ton and you feel every frost heave and expansion joint slam up through the truck. That constant jarring wears on your back, your hitch, and your cargo, and it makes a hard stop feel a lot less planted than it should. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit for you. Its dual rubber bump cushions (the same proven design as the Impact Cushion 14K, now on the beefed-up 20K chassis) compress and rebound to soak up the shock a solid mount just passes through. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch and Raised Ball Mount w/2" Ball hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lbs of tongue weight, drops into any 2-inch receiver, and adjusts from 3" Drop to 5" Rise, all with a matte black powder coat, zero air pressure to manage, and no ongoing maintenance.

Why a 20K Cushion Hitch
Enough Muscle for a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. The moment you start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment behind a 1-ton, you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, thicker and heavier-duty steel to carry the load.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions
Two sealed rubber cushions swallow road shock by compressing and rebounding instead of passing it straight to your truck. The ball mount pivots on that geometry, so the ride stays smoother than a solid bar even when you are loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Miles
The textured matte black powder coat shrugs off road grime and rock chips, and it looks right at home on a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Chase
Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate and nothing to check. That is a real advantage on a remote job site or a back forty where a compressor is not always handy.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious capacity. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that actually demand it, without the air-ride workflow.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks working at full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats tunable
- Owners moving up from the Impact Cushion 14K who outgrew its capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. What separates them is the suspension technology underneath.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that stay maintenance-free for the life of the hitch, and about 30 to 40% cheaper than its air-ride sibling. No compressor, no pressure gauge, nothing to set before you tow. This is the pick if you want a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount and would rather skip the air-ride workflow altogether.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune with pressure to match any load, giving you more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over many years (field-replaceable when that day comes). This is the pick for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want to dial in the ride.
Built for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, nobody has time to check airbag pressure before every tow. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off the list completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again, year after year, with no maintenance routine to keep up. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet gear that just has to work, this is the line built for you.
Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run several trucks across the Shocker ecosystem and your attachments stay cross-compatible across the whole 20K product family, so you buy one set and move it around. The textured matte black powder coat holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it ships direct from stock in Canada with no border wait.
