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 frost heave, pothole, and hard stop hammers a rigid ball hitch, and that jolt travels straight into your truck, your trailer, and whatever you're hauling. The Shocker Max Black Air Hitch & Clevis Mount puts an air spring between you and the road, so those hits get soaked up before they ever reach the coupler. It's the proven Original Shocker Air Hitch chassis in a textured matte-black powder coat, with the full 14,000 lbs GTW capacity, the same air-ride engineering, and a 2-inch fitment for F-150-class half-ton trucks and class III/IV receivers. The stealth black hides scratches, coordinates with blacked-out trucks, and carries a more rugged, upmarket look than the classic red.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 14,000 lbs GTW and carries 1,400 lbs of tongue weight, enough for the biggest trailer you'll put behind a half-ton or three-quarter-ton, all on the proven 8-hole chassis
- Textured matte-black powder coat shrugs off gravel rash and scratches, so it still looks sharp seasons down the road
- Drops into any 2-inch receiver on F-150-class half-ton trucks and class III/IV hitches
- Add or release air to match any trailer, so light loads and heavy loads both ride level and smooth
- Rocker-arm pivot does the work with one moving joint, so there's less to wear out and more years of service
- 3-1/2" to 7-1/2" of drop lets you set the trailer dead level so it tows and stops the way it should
- Matches blacked-out trucks, dark wheels, and modern OEM trim packages
- Backed by our 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and in stock in Canada so it ships direct with no border wait

How Shocker Air Ride Works
Built-In Air Cushion
A heavy-duty air bag sits under the receiver tube and soaks up the jerking, tugging, and slamming before any of it reaches your truck or trailer. There's no rigid connection passing the shock through.
Set It for Whatever You Tow
Pump in more air for a heavy trailer, let some out for a light one. Dial the pressure so the hitch sits at the right ride height every time you hook up.
One Simple Pivot
Shocker's down-and-back motion runs on a single pivot, with no slides, rollers, parallel linkages, or stacked airbags to fail. Fewer moving parts means it lasts longer and asks for less.
Backup Rubber Cushions
Two rubber cushions catch the worst jolts the air bag can't fully swallow, giving you a built-in safety margin when the road turns brutal.
Why Buyers Choose the Black Finish
Same proven 14K chassis as the Original. The only difference is the finish and how it presents.
- Textured matte black hides scratches and chips far better than glossy red
- Coordinates with blacked-out OEM packages like King Ranch, Limited, AT4, Rebel, and Platinum
- Stays looking newer longer, with no fade line where the receiver enters the bumper
- A premium look for owners who treat their truck as a statement piece
- Matched in black across the 20+ Shocker ball-mount attachments
- Same air-ride performance as the red, so this is a finish and durability upgrade only
Sway Control: Two Configurations
The Max Black comes with or without sway-control tabs, depending on the ball-mount attachment you pick:
Standard Ball Mount (No Sway Tabs)
The pick for boats, livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and anything that doesn't need friction sway bars. The pivoting air-ride design already trims down sway tendency on its own.
Ball Mount With Welded Sway Tabs
Adds welded tabs so you can bolt on a friction sway-bar kit (sold separately). Go this route for travel trailers and tall-profile campers that get pushed around by crosswinds.
Flip It for Drop or Rise
This Shocker Max Black Air Hitch & Clevis Mount ships set up for 3-1/2" to 7-1/2" of drop. 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. Tow a low travel trailer behind a lifted truck or a tall camper behind a stock pickup, and the geometry follows along.
A Finish Built to Last
It's built on the same heavy-wall steel chassis as the Original 14K. The textured matte-black powder coat is made to fight off UV fade, hide the micro-scratches that come from sliding the shank in and out, and outlast glossy finishes on salt-belt and gravel roads. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
