Improves Safety
By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The Gooseneck surge air hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.
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 gooseneck tow starts with the same hard jerk. The trailer yanks against your truck bed on every launch, every hard stop, and every frost heave or rough seam in the pavement, and that shock hammers your bed, your trailer stem, and whatever you're hauling. The Surge Air Gooseneck Standard 30K takes that jerk out. It's the default Shocker air-ride gooseneck, and it swaps your factory inner stem and coupler for a patented forward-back airbag system rated at 30,000 lbs GTW. This multi-fit-round version pairs a Demco EZ Latch coupler for 2-5/16-inch balls with several stem options, so it fits nearly any gooseneck trailer out there. Installs in minutes and puts real air ride under every load.

Installation
Watch the official install walkthrough for this hitch — the exact steps and tools, straight from the manufacturer.
How Surge Air Works for Goosenecks
The worst shock in gooseneck towing is the forward-back jerk between your truck bed and the trailer stem. Surge Air is built to soak up that exact motion.
Airbag That Kills the Forward-Back Jerk
An air spring sits behind the inner stem and swallows the primary forward-back jerk that gooseneck operators feel during acceleration, braking, and rough pavement transitions. That shock never reaches your bed or your cargo.
Simple Rocker Arm, Fewer Parts to Wear
A simple rocker arm does the work instead of parallel linkages, shocks, and torsion arms. Fewer moving parts means less maintenance and a longer service life under heavy use.
Dials In to Whatever You're Hauling
Add air for heavy loads, release air for empty trailers. The same hitch tunes from a fully loaded equipment trailer to a deadhead return run with a turn of a valve.
Drops Right Into Your Trailer
The multi-fit-round takes the place of your factory inner stem directly. No drilling, no welding, no truck-bed modification. The air ride lives between the stem and the coupler.
Built for These Gooseneck Trailers
Built for general-purpose 30K-class gooseneck hauling, from the weekend horse hauler to the full-time hotshot trucker.
- Flatbed gooseneck trailers up to 30,000 lbs
- Horse and livestock goosenecks
- Toy haulers and enclosed race trailers
- End dump and equipment goosenecks
- Tilt-deck gooseneck trailers
- Hotshot trucking rigs and mixed-load haulers
Multiple Stem Options
Pick the version that matches the inner stem already on your trailer. Same air-ride chassis, same Demco EZ Latch coupler, just a different inner stem shape.
Multi-Fit Round (4" or 100mm)
Patent-pending round stem that fits both 4" and 100mm trailers with straight or angled pin holes. The safest bet if your trailer runs a round stem.
Multi-Fit Square (4" or 100mm)
Fits both 4" and 100mm square inner stems with straight pin holes. Covers most modern square-stem gooseneck trailers.
4-1/2" Square Stem
Heavy-wall stem for trailers using the larger 4-1/2" square inner stem. Common on PJ, Big Tex, Diamond C and other heavy-duty manufacturers.
Top-Crank 100mm Square
Made to replace top-crank handle stems on trailers like Bison and other manufacturers that use the crank-style adjustment.
Driving a Short-Bed Pickup?
This Standard 30K sits 3" forward of your factory coupler, which is fine on a long-bed truck. If you tow with a short-bed pickup and the trailer nose crowds your cab on tight turns, go with the Surge Air Gooseneck 9" Offset 30K instead. Same air ride technology, with the coupler set 9 inches farther forward to keep the trailer clear of the cab.
Built to Last
Thick-wall steel through and through, with a patented Demco EZ Latch coupler. The air spring is the same multi-ply rubber design used in commercial air suspension systems, and the rocker arm geometry has fewer wear points than parallel-linkage hitches, so there's less to fail over the long haul. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee. In stock and shipping from Canada.
