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.
Back a gooseneck into a tight campsite with a short-bed truck and you know the feeling: the trailer nose swinging toward your back glass, your cab corners one bad angle from a dent. This Surge Air Gooseneck 9" Offset 30K fixes that. It runs the same 30,000 lbs surge-air chassis as our Standard 30K, but the Demco EZ Latch coupler sits 9 inches forward of the factory spot, so tight turns keep the nose clear of your cab. The multi-fit-square drops in where your factory inner stem lives now, in minutes.

Installation
Watch the official install walkthrough for this hitch — the exact steps and tools, straight from the manufacturer.
Why Those 9 Inches Save Your Cab Corners
On a short-bed pickup (typically 5.5 or 6.5 ft beds), a standard gooseneck coupler rides close to the cab. Any sharp turn (backing into a campsite, threading a stockyard, jackknifing in a tight driveway) swings the trailer nose right up toward your back glass and cab corners. The 9" offset pushes the coupler 9 inches farther forward than a standard gooseneck would sit, giving you back the turning room long-bed trucks get for free. You keep gooseneck stability and air-ride smoothness, and you keep your short-bed truck easy to move around.
Air Ride With No Cab-Clearance Tradeoff
9 Inches of Forward Reach
The forged extension arm carries the Demco EZ Latch coupler 9 inches ahead of where a standard gooseneck would sit, keeping the nose off your cab through tight turns and jackknife angles.
Airbag That Eats the Jerk
The same patented surge-air setup as the Standard 30K. An air spring soaks up the worst of the forward-back jerk between truck bed and trailer stem, so hard stops and frost heaves quit slamming your rig.
Full 30,000 lb Rating, No Trade
The 9" offset extension is engineered to carry the full 30,000 lbs GTW and 6,000 lb tongue weight. You get the extra reach and pay nothing in tow rating for it.
Air You Dial to the Load
Add air when the load rides heavy, bleed it off when you run empty. Tune the ride for a loaded horse trailer or an empty deadhead run home.
Built for Short-Bed Trucks
If you pull a gooseneck with a short-bed truck, this one's yours.
- Short-bed half-tons (F-150, RAM 1500, Silverado/Sierra 1500, Tundra short-bed)
- Short-bed three-quarter-tons (F-250, RAM 2500, Silverado 2500 with the 6.5' bed)
- Horse haulers backing into tight stalls and stockyards
- Race-car haulers running a short-bed daily driver
- Anyone who's already tagged a cab corner with a gooseneck nose
Coupler Choice: Demco EZ Latch or Shift Lock
Both couplers carry the full 30,000 lbs rating. This SKU ships with the Demco EZ Latch.
Demco EZ Latch
Drop onto the 2-5/16-inch ball and it latches on its own. Single-side capture, and you lift the latch handle to release. The one most folks run.
Shift Lock
Patented dual-side capture, the only gooseneck coupler that grips the ball from both sides. A visual lock indicator tells you it's set at a glance, and it carries a slightly higher 7K tongue weight rating.
A Straight Stem Swap
The multi-fit-square is a complete stem-and-coupler replacement. It slides into your trailer's outer tube where the factory inner stem sits now, re-pins through your existing height holes, and carries the air ride and 9" extension above it. No bolting onto your old stem, and no welding, drilling, or cutting. Most installs take under an hour.
