Trail Force Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount

The Trail Force 14K is built for tow vehicles where the receiver is recessed inside the bumper — full-size SUVs, flatbed pickups, and service-body work trucks.

It packages the same 14,000 lbs GTW air ride chassis as the Original Shocker but with 10 adjustment holes for extended drop/rise range, finished in matte black so it disappears against an off-road or work-truck aesthetic. 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop with a pintle hook ball mount.

Pulls the Pivot Forward: The Trail Force chassis positions the rocker-arm pivot to clear bumpers that wrap around the receiver tube, so the ball mount swings freely under load without contacting bodywork.

10 Adjustment Holes: Two extra holes versus the Original 14K give you a wider window of drop and rise — important when an SUV or flatbed sits at a different height than a standard pickup.

Matte Black Finish: Textured matte black powder-coat blends with blacked-out wheels, tube bumpers, and service-body paint. No chrome, no glare, no work-truck mismatch.

Same 14K Air Ride: Mechanically identical to the Original Shocker 14K under the skin: heavy-duty steel frame, multi-ply air bag, and rocker-arm pivot.

Trail Force exists because some tow vehicles don't accept a standard air hitch cleanly. If you drive any of these, this is your line:

Full-size SUVs (Suburban, Tahoe, Sequoia, Expedition, Yukon)

Flatbed pickups (1500/2500/3500 with aftermarket beds)

Service-body work trucks

Overland and off-road builds with rear tube bumpers

Any pickup where the receiver sits inside the rear bumper

Work fleets needing a stealth, blacked-out hitch profile

Same load rating, same air ride. The difference is geometry, finish, and adjustment range:

Trail Force 14K: Engineered for recessed receivers. 10 adjustment holes. Matte black finish. Choose this if your bumper wraps the receiver, or you want a darker visual.

Original Shocker 14K: Standard 8 adjustment holes. Red powder-coat. Choose this if your receiver hangs below an exposed bumper — it is the cheaper, classic option.

Shocker HD 17K: Heavier-duty 17,000 lb chassis. Step up to HD if you need more capacity than 14K, regardless of receiver style.

Trail Force shares the standard Shocker ball mount attachment interface. Pick a pintle hook mount with 2.5" Rise to 6.5″ Drop to fit your trailer height. Combo balls, drop and rise mounts, drawbars, pintle hooks, and sway-tab variants are all interchangeable — and the extra adjustment holes give you more options to dial in level tow geometry.

Trail Force shares the heavy-duty steel chassis architecture of the Original Shocker line: laser-cut side plates, a precision-machined pivot, and a multi-ply commercial air bag. The textured matte black finish is a powder coat over phosphate-prepped steel for chip and corrosion resistance. Backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

Patent pending design is great for vehicles with the receiver hitch inside the bumper. If you want air ride towing, and your receiver hitch is inside the bumper, common on most sport utility vehicles, along with some service body & flat bed trucks, this is the tow hitch for you.

The shock absorbing, pivoting design filters the road shock, bumps, tugs & sways through the dual bump cushion air ride system, giving you a way smoother and safer trailer towing experience. Easier on you, your passengers & equipment.

Easily add or reduce air pressure with the integrated premium air line & valve loaded on the driver's side of the frame. See our Air Hitch Air Pressure Video.

By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer & contents. The Shocker hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the wear & tear on driveline & frame, along with reducing the chances of breaking welds & other long term damage to your equipment, truck & trailer.

Treat yourself, passengers & equipment to a much smoother ride. No more continual bumps, jerks & vibrations.

Uses a rocker arm pivot design which produces a down & back motion, much different than other air hitches on the market. Design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple air spring bags.

Filters the rock shock through the air ride system & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1" diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt.

2" of rise to 10-1/2" of drop. Depends on mount chosen. See the drop & rise guide below. Adjustment for combo-ball mount is 0" to 6-1/2" drop. Perfect for smooth trailer towing for SUVs with a receiver inside of bumper. Thick HD carbon steel side plates & top plate, heavy duty air spring & dual bump cushions.

Max Black™ Textured Impact Resistant Matte Black Premium Powder-Coat Finish on hitch frame, shank, and components.

Huge selection of ball mount attachments available. Combo, Drop, Raised, Sway Bar Tab Options, Pintle, Pintle with Ball, Drawbar, Clevis Pin & More. Combo adjustable multi-ball mount has with 2" hitch ball & 2-5/16" hitch ball.

14,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,400 lbs tongue weight. Great for boats, campers, car trailers, utility trailers, ice houses, equipment trailers & more.

Fits Sport Utility Vehicles, Service Body & Flatbed Trucks with the receiver hitch tube inside the rear bumper. This Will Not work with Vans, CUVs, Compact, Midsize, or 1/2 ton pickups, as the frame is too long. It will also work with 4WD 3/4 & 1 Ton trucks or taller than stock & lifted pickups.

Complete Air Ride Hitch Kit Includes: Shocker Trail Force air receiver hitch with built-in 10K air ride system & dual bump cushions, ball mount you choose, and three ball mount attachment pins with clips. 2 for the attachment and 1 for receiver hitch.
