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.
Every hard stop, frost heave, and expansion joint sends a jolt straight through a rigid hitch into your truck, your trailer, and whatever you're hauling. The Max Black 14K puts a real air spring between you and that beating. It's the proven Original Shocker Air Hitch chassis, rated to pull 14,000 lbs (up to 1,400 lbs on the tongue), so it handles the heaviest trailer you'll hang off a half-ton or three-quarter-ton with a 2-inch receiver (class III/IV). The difference here is the finish. A textured matte-black powder coat hides the scratches and rock chips a glossy hitch shows off, shrugs off UV fade, and looks right behind a blacked-out truck. Same ride, same capacity, a tougher-looking finish that ages better.
Key Highlights
- Pulls up to 14,000 lbs with 1,400 lbs on the tongue, the heaviest bumper-pull you'll tow, on the proven 8-hole chassis
- Textured matte-black powder coat hides rock chips and receiver scuffs, so it still looks good after years of gravel roads
- Drops into any 2-inch receiver on an F-150-class half-ton truck (class III/IV), no adapters
- Add or release air to match any load, so heavy or light the ride stays smooth and level
- Rocker-arm pivot does the work with one moving joint, fewer parts to wear out or fail
- 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop geometry gets your trailer sitting level behind a lifted or a stock truck
- Blends right in with blacked-out trucks, dark wheels, and modern OEM packages
- Backed by our 60-day satisfaction guarantee

How Shocker Air Ride Works
Built-In Air Spring
A heavy-duty air bag under the receiver tube soaks up the jerking, tugging, and impact before it ever reaches your truck or trailer. No rigid metal-on-metal connection to pass the hit along.
Adjustable for Any Load
Pump in air for a heavy trailer, bleed some off for a light one. Set the pressure once and the hitch sits at the right ride height every time you hook up.
Rocker-Arm Pivot
Shocker's signature down-and-back motion runs on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags. Fewer parts moving means fewer parts to wear out.
Backup Bump Cushions
Two rubber cushions catch the extreme jolts the air bag can't fully swallow, a built-in backstop for the worst hits so nothing bottoms out hard.
Why Buyers Choose the Black Finish
Same proven 14K chassis as the Original. What changes is the finish and how it looks.
- Textured matte black hides scratches and chips that glossy red would show off
- Matches blacked-out factory trims like King Ranch, Limited, AT4, Rebel, and Platinum
- Stays looking new longer, with no fade line where the receiver meets the bumper
- A cleaner, higher-end look for a truck you actually care how it presents
- Runs the same 20-plus Shocker ball-mount attachments, available in matching black
- Identical air-ride performance, so this is purely a looks and durability upgrade
Sway Control, Two Ways to Set It Up
Trailer wander in a crosswind will white-knuckle any driver. The Max Black comes with or without sway-control tabs depending on which ball-mount attachment you pick:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
Best for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and anything that doesn't need friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride design already cuts down on sway tendency on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Adds welded tabs for a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). The one to get for travel trailers and tall campers that catch a crosswind and start to wander.
Flip It for Drop or Rise
Match your coupler height and nobody bounces down the highway. This Shocker 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 to turn drop into rise, and the 8 adjustment holes let you fine-tune coupler height from there. Towing a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, the geometry adapts to sit level either way.
A Finish Built to Last
Same heavy-wall steel chassis as the Original 14K underneath. The textured matte-black powder coat is built to fight UV fade, hide the micro-scratches from sliding the receiver in and out, and outlast a glossy finish on salt-covered winter roads and gravel back roads. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
