Shocker 20K HD Max Air Pintle Hitch - Fits 2-1/2" Hitch, 2-1/2"Rise 6-1/2"Drop

Loaded to the limit, a rigid hitch turns every frost heave, railroad crossing, and hard stop into a jolt that runs straight through your truck, your trailer, and your cargo. The Shocker HD Max Black Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount puts an air spring between you and the road, so that shock gets soaked up before it reaches the cab.

It's the top of the Shocker bumper-pull line, built for F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers) with a 2-1/2-inch receiver. On a beefier-wall HD chassis it handles 20,000 lbs GTW and up to 2,000 lbs of tongue weight, wrapped in a textured matte-black powder coat. Our heaviest bumper-pull rating in a finish that holds up.

In stock in Canada and shipped direct, no border wait.

The Air Spring Takes the Hit: The HD multi-ply rubber air bag carries up to 20,000 lbs of trailer and still cushions the road shock that would otherwise hammer your truck and cargo. Same engineering as the HD Red, finished to match the matte-black chassis.

Dial It In for the Load You've Got: A heavy bumper-pull trailer can swing more than 1,000 lbs between empty and full. Add air for the max-weight haul, let some out for the deadhead run home. The HD air bag has a wider usable pressure range than the 14K.

Built Heavier Where It Counts: It keeps the same external 8-hole geometry, so every Shocker ball mount still fits, but the steel is thicker-walled and the welds are reinforced for 20K loads. Finished in textured matte-black powder coat.

One Simple Pivot, Not a Stack of Parts: Shocker's down-and-back motion runs on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, or stacked airbags, even at HD loads. Fewer moving parts taking the stress means it lasts longer.

The top of the core line, heavy-duty and premium-finished at the same time.

The most bumper-pull muscle we make, at 20,000 lbs GTW

Textured matte black hides scratches better than glossy or red finishes

Matches the blacked-out trim on Ford, RAM, Chevy, and GMC one-tons

3-inch receiver option matches dual-rear-wheel factory hitches

Works with the same 20+ Shocker ball-mount attachments, black-matched where offered

No trade-off between how much it pulls and how it looks

Same finish family, a different capacity tier:

Heavier Air Bag, Heavier Walls: The 20K-rated HD air bag and reinforced steel walls take this well past where the 14K tops out, up to 20,000 lbs GTW with 2,000 lbs of tongue weight. This is the one to grab when your loads run over 14k.

3-Inch Receiver Option: The HD Max Black comes in a 3-inch receiver for dual-rear-wheel one-ton trucks, something the Max Black 14K doesn't offer.

This Shocker HD Max Black Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount ships in a 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop ball-mount setup. Most Shocker ball mounts flip over, so you can turn that drop into rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height from there. A heavy bumper-pull trailer really cares about sitting level.

Get the drop wrong and you overload either the front or rear axle of the trailer instead of spreading the weight, so take a minute to dial it in.

It's built on the same reinforced HD chassis as the Shocker HD 20K Red. The textured matte-black powder coat is made to resist UV fade, hide the micro-scratches you get sliding it into the receiver, and outlast glossy finishes on salt-belt roads and gravel. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
