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.
The Mini Shocker Cushion 3.5K is the smallest, lightest hitch in the Shocker family — a rubber-cushion (not air-ride) tongue mount built for cars, minivans, and SUVs towing very small trailers. Rated for 3,500 lbs GTW with a flippable design that drops to 2,000 lbs the other way. Uses a 2-inch ball — a smaller ecosystem than the rest of our bumper-pull line.
Key Highlights
- 3,500 lbs GTW rating with a flippable 2,000 lb alternate orientation
- Rubber-cushion shock absorption — no air pump required
- Sized for cars, vans, minivans, SUVs, and CUVs
- Uses 2-inch balls (1-7/8 inch or 2 inch — not 2-5/16 inch)
- 2" Drop to 2" Rise for level towing on small trailers
- Compact mount fits receivers under car bumpers
- Black powder-coat finish
- Lightest, lowest-cost hitch in the Shocker bumper-pull family
A Different Class of Hitch
Rubber Cushion, Not Air Ride
Instead of an air bag, the Mini Shocker uses a heavy-duty rubber cushion to absorb road shock. No pump, no pressure gauge, no air valve — just install and tow. Best fit for the loads it's rated to carry.
Flippable for Two Capacities
Mounted one way the hitch is rated for 3,500 lbs GTW. Flip it the other way and it drops to a 2,000 lb rating with a different drop/rise position. Two hitches in one.
Smaller Ball Ecosystem
Unlike our 8K-and-up hitches that use 2-5/16 inch balls, the Mini Shocker takes 1-7/8 inch or 2 inch balls — the standard sizes for tiny trailers, jet skis, and pop-up campers.
Light Vehicle Friendly
Designed for the cars, minivans, and CUVs that the rest of our bumper-pull family isn't sized for. If your tow vehicle isn't a pickup, this is your Shocker.
Ideal For These Trailers
If you tow any of these with a non-pickup tow vehicle, the Mini Shocker is your match:
- Jet ski and personal watercraft trailers (often 1,500–2,500 lbs)
- Single snowmobile trailers
- Lawn-mower and small equipment trailers
- Pop-up tent campers under 3,500 lbs
- Very small utility trailers and bike racks
- Small fishing boat trailers under 3,500 lbs
- Kayak and canoe trailers
Mini Shocker vs. Sport 8K — Which One?
The Mini Shocker is intentionally a different class of product. Compare carefully:
Mini Shocker Cushion 3.5K
3,500 lbs GTW. Rubber cushion. 1-7/8" or 2" ball. For cars, minivans, CUVs, SUVs. The lightest, cheapest option — but not air ride.
Shocker Sport 8K
8,000 lbs GTW. Air ride. 2-5/16" ball ecosystem. For half-ton pickups, vans, full-size SUVs. Step up here if your trailer is between 3,500 and 8,000 lbs or your tow vehicle is a pickup.
Original Shocker 14K
14,000 lbs GTW. Air ride. The default mid-tier choice for any half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck. Overkill for tiny trailers.
How the Flippable Cushion Works
The Mini Shocker mount is symmetrical front-to-back. Installed in one orientation, the rubber cushion is loaded for a 3,500 lb GTW with a particular drop/rise. Flip it 180 degrees and the cushion is loaded differently for a 2,000 lb capacity with the inverse drop/rise. Pick the orientation that best matches your trailer height and load — no extra parts to buy.
Compact, Black, Maintenance-Free
The Mini Shocker mount is built from black-powder-coated steel with a single heavy-duty rubber cushion at the pivot. There is no air bag, no air valve, and no maintenance schedule beyond the visual inspection any hitch deserves. Backed by Shocker Hitch's frame warranty and 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Manufactured in Jamestown, North Dakota.
