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.
Pull 20,000 lbs behind a solid hitch and you feel every frost heave, every hard stop, every bit of chucking come straight up through the truck. It beats on your back, your load, and your trailer. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit for you. Two sealed rubber bump cushions soak up the jarring so the ride settles down, even loaded right to the limit. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/2" Ball hauls a full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, slides into a 3-inch receiver, and swings from 3" Drop to 5" Rise so you can sit the trailer level. Same dual rubber cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built on the heavier 20K chassis and finished in matte black powder coat. No air to set, no gauge to watch, 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 three-quarter-tons just fine. Once you are dragging a skid steer, a loaded dump trailer, or an equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion setup, heavier steel to back it.
Two Rubber Cushions Doing the Work
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to eat the shock before it reaches the truck. The ball mount pivots as they flex, which is why a cushion hitch rides so much smoother than a solid bar, even loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Grime
Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and matches a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Drag Around
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is none of that. Out on a remote job site or the back of a ranch, where firing up a compressor is a hassle, that is one less thing to haul and worry about.
Built for These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and trailers that live up there, and it skips the air-ride routine while it does it.
- 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, GMC 3500HD)
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks working at full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers loaded at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats adjustable
- Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. What you are really picking between is how each one soaks up the ride.
Impact Max 20K (this one)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need service. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper, with no compressor or pressure gauge in the picture. This is the pick if you want a big step up from a solid mount, kept simple and tough, and you would rather skip the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you dial to the load, so it gives more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over the years (you can swap it in the field). This is the pick for daily towers and heavy-haul crews who want to tune 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 pull. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your plate for good. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again for years with no maintenance routine to keep. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet gear, this is the line 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, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run a few trucks across the Shocker lineup and your attachments cross over the whole 20K family, so you are not buying doubles. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it ships direct from stock in Canada with no border wait.
