Shocker Mini Cushion Hitch Base Frame Complete w/ Pins (No Ball Mount)

Tow a jet ski, a pop-up camper, or a small utility trailer behind a car, minivan, or SUV and you feel every frost heave and hard stop jolt back through the hitch. The trailer chucks and the ride turns harsh. The Mini Shocker Cushion 3.5K takes that punch out of the road: a heavy-duty rubber cushion at the mount soaks up the shock.

It is the smallest, lightest hitch we build, rated up to 3,500 lbs GTW, and it flips to a 2,000 lb setting for a different height. It runs a 1-7/8 inch or 2 inch ball, the sizes tiny trailers actually use, so it fits small rigs the rest of our bumper-pull line is too big for.

A Rubber Cushion Does the Work: This one skips the air bag. A heavy-duty rubber cushion absorbs the road shock instead, so there is no pump to run, no pressure gauge to watch, and no valve to check. You bolt it on and tow. It does its best work at the loads it is rated to carry.

Flip It for Two Ratings: Bolt it in one way and you get the full 3,500 lbs GTW. Flip it the other way and it sets up at 2,000 lbs with a different drop and rise. That is two hitches in one, so you can match how your trailer sits without buying a second mount.

Runs the Small-Trailer Ball Sizes: Our 8K and bigger hitches take a 2-5/16 inch ball. The Mini Shocker uses the smaller 1-7/8 inch or 2 inch ball, the standard sizes on tiny trailers, jet skis, and pop-up campers. Match it to your trailer coupler and you are set.

Built for Cars, Vans, and CUVs: Most tow hitches assume you are driving a pickup. This one is built for the cars, minivans, and CUVs the rest of our bumper-pull family is too big for. If your tow vehicle is not a truck, this is your Shocker.

Tow any of these with a car, van, minivan, or SUV and the Mini Shocker is your match:

Jet ski and personal watercraft trailers, usually 1,500 to 2,500 lbs

Single snowmobile trailers

Lawn mower and small equipment trailers

Pop-up tent campers under 3,500 lbs

Small utility trailers and loaded bike racks

Small fishing boat trailers under 3,500 lbs

Kayak and canoe trailers

The Mini Shocker is intentionally a different class of product. Compare carefully:

Mini Shocker Cushion 3.5K: 3,500 lbs GTW on a rubber cushion, running a 1-7/8" or 2" ball. Built for cars, minivans, CUVs, and SUVs. It is the lightest and cheapest way into a Shocker, and it rides on a cushion rather than air.

Shocker Sport 8K: 8,000 lbs GTW on air ride, running the 2-5/16" ball. Built for half-ton pickups, vans, and full-size SUVs. Step up to this one if your trailer sits between 3,500 and 8,000 lbs or you tow with a pickup.

Original Shocker 14K: 14,000 lbs GTW on air ride. The go-to pick for any half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck, and far more hitch than a tiny trailer needs.

The mount is symmetrical front to back. Set it in one way and the rubber cushion is loaded for the full 3,500 lb rating at one drop or rise. Turn it 180 degrees and the cushion loads up for 2,000 lbs at the opposite height. Pick the side that best matches how your trailer sits and how much you are pulling. There are no extra parts to buy either way.

The mount is black-powder-coated steel with a single heavy-duty rubber cushion at the pivot. There is no air bag and no air valve, and nothing to maintain beyond the once-over you would give any hitch.

It is covered by Shocker Hitch's frame warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it is in stock and ships direct from Canada, so there is no border wait.
