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.
Loaded heavy, every frost heave, bridge seam, and hard stop slams straight up through the ball, into your truck's frame, and back into whatever you're hauling. That constant jarring wears on your driveline, works trailer welds loose over the miles, and turns a long day of towing into a white-knuckle grind. The Shocker HD Air Hitch & Drawbar Mount is the red 20K heavyweight of the Shocker bumper-pull lineup, and it's built to soak that shock up before it reaches you. It fits F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers) with a 2-1/2-inch receiver and hauls up to 20,000 lbs GTW on a beefier-wall version of Shocker's proven 8-hole chassis with an upgraded HD-rated air bag. If you run a one-ton pulling the heaviest legal bumper-pull loads, this is the one that keeps the ride smooth and your gear in one piece.

How the HD Air Ride Takes the Beating
Cushions Up to 20,000 lbs
A heavy multi-ply rubber air bag, with more plies than the 14K version, sits between your truck and the load. It carries up to 20,000 lbs of trailer weight and still soaks up the jolts before they reach your driveline and your cargo.
Dial It In for Full or Empty
A heavy trailer can swing 1,000+ lbs between empty and loaded, and a fixed setup rides rough at one end or the other. Add air for a max-weight run, bleed it off for the deadhead home. The HD air bag has a wider usable pressure range than the 14K, so you stay level either way.
Same Fit, Thicker Steel
The chassis keeps the same outside shape as the Original line, so every Shocker ball mount still bolts right up. Underneath it runs thicker-wall steel and reinforced welds rated to take the full 20K loadings without flinching.
One Simple Pivot
Shocker's down-and-back motion runs on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, or stacked air bags to wear out, even at HD loadings. Fewer moving parts under heavy stress means less to fail and a longer service life.
Who Runs the HD 20K
Built for one-ton trucks and the heaviest bumper-pull combinations the law allows.
- F-350, RAM 3500, and Silverado 3500 owners towing near their max trailer rating
- Livestock haulers pulling 30+ ft gooseneck-equivalent bumper-pull stock trailers
- Equipment and skid-steer haulers on 16k+ tilt-deck trailers
- Big enclosed cargo trailers and car haulers loaded up to 20,000 lbs
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks with a three-inch receiver that need a matched HD hitch
- Anyone whose Original 14K bottoms out under heavy tongue weight
HD vs. Original, What Changed
Same chassis silhouette, and the same attachments bolt right up. Three upgrades make the HD tougher where it counts:
Heavier Air Bag
A multi-ply rubber bag rated for the full 20K GTW with a wider usable pressure range, so it takes heavier tongue weight without bottoming out on a hard bump.
Beefier Walls and Welds
Thicker steel and a reinforced weld pattern at the high-stress points, so it carries more tongue weight than the 1,400 lbs the Original 14K is rated for.
Get the Trailer Sitting Level
This Shocker HD Air Hitch & Drawbar Mount ships in a 1/2" to 4-1/2" Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over, so you can turn that drop into a rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height on top of that. A heavy bumper-pull trailer is fussy about sitting level. Run the wrong drop and you overload either the front or rear axle of the trailer, so take the time to dial it in right.
Built to Take the Heaviest Loads
Heavy-wall steel and a reinforced build stand up to the abuse of maximum bumper-pull towing, all under Shocker's signature impact-resistant safety-red powder coat. It's in stock and ships direct from Canada, so there's no border wait. When the HD air bag eventually wears, you swap it in minutes using the same simple Schrader-style fitting as the 14K.
