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.
Behind a 1-ton hauling 20,000 pounds, a solid mount beats you up. Every frost heave, every railroad crossing, every hard stop punches straight through the ball and into the truck, the trailer, and whatever you loaded. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit for you. It runs the same dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built onto the heavier-duty 20K chassis with a matte black powder coat. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Cushion Drawbar w/1" Hole hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, drops into a 2-inch receiver, and gives you 3-1/2" Drop to 3-1/2" Rise. No air pressure to babysit, and nothing to maintain.

Why Step Up to 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. But start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment behind a 1-ton and you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, heavier-duty steel.
Two Rubber Cushions Doing the Work
A pair of sealed rubber cushions swallow the tow shock as they compress and rebound. The pivoting ball mount geometry is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount, even loaded right to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Miles
Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chipping, and looks right on a modern blacked-out truck. Same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor, No Gauge
Air-ride hitches at this capacity make you run a compressor and watch a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is none of that. Handy on a remote job site or ranch where dragging out a compressor is not always practical.
Trucks and Trailers It Is Built For
Twenty thousand pounds is real weight. The Impact Max is made for the trucks and loads that put it down, and it skips the air-ride routine while doing it.
- 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, GMC 3500HD)
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks loaded to full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats tunable
- Owners stepping 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 splits them is how the ride gets done.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. Roughly 30 to 40% cheaper. No compressor or pressure gauge to deal with. Right for buyers who want simple, durable, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, without the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune with pressure to match any load. More travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is field-replaceable but wears over many years. Right for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want that adjustability.
Made for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a fleet yard, you do not always have a minute to check airbag pressure before you pull out. The Impact Max 20K cuts that step out completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, do it again for years with no maintenance routine. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you would rather treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet gear, this is the line built for you.
Runs the Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, so combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts all fit. Run a few trucks across the Shocker lineup and your attachments carry over across the 20K product family. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it is stocked in Canada, so it ships direct with no border wait.
