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, a heavy load never stops working on you. Every frost heave, every railroad crossing, every hard stop punches straight up through a solid ball mount into your truck, your trailer, and whatever you are hauling. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit for you. Two sealed rubber bump cushions squeeze and spring back to soak up the shock, so the ride settles instead of chucking. It is the same cushion design proven on the Impact Cushion 14K, moved onto a heavier 20K chassis and finished in matte black powder coat. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Drop Ball Mount w/2" Ball hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, fits 3-inch receivers, and gives you 0" to 7-1/2" of drop, all with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Real Capacity for 1-Ton Trucks
The 14K Impact Cushion has plenty of muscle for half-tons and most 3/4-tons. Start pulling skid steers, loaded dump trailers, or equipment haulers behind a 1-ton and you are into the territory the 20K chassis was built for. Same cushion technology, with heavier steel under it.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and spring back to swallow the shock a load throws at you. The ball mount pivots as they work, which is why a cushion hitch rides noticeably smoother than a rock-solid mount, even loaded right to full GTW.
Matte Black Stealth Finish
Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and looks right on a modern blacked-out truck. It comes from the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor Required
Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge before every tow. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate and nothing to check. That is a real advantage on remote job sites and ranch work where a compressor is not always handy.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and trailers that pull it, and it skips the air-ride routine while doing it.
- 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 who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis, same matte black finish. The only real question is how you want the ride handled.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. Runs about 30% to 40% cheaper. No compressor and no pressure gauge to bother with. Best for anyone who wants a tough hitch, a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, and none of the air-ride fuss.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
Adjustable airbag you dial in to match any load, with more travel and a softer ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over the years, though you can swap it in the field. Best for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want that fine control.
Built for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, you rarely have a spare minute to check airbag pressure before you pull out. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your list. Hook up, pull, unhook, do it again, for years, with no maintenance routine hanging over you. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but treat the hitch like any other piece of gear on the truck, 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 more than one truck across the Shocker lineup and your attachments carry over across 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 every unit ships direct from our Canadian stock, so there is no border wait.
