You know that feeling when your gooseneck trailer bounces and your truck feels every bit of it. That vertical shock hits hard. This 5th-wheel conversion kit uses an air bag at the hitch to absorb the impact and give you the smoother ride you want.
The core of this Shocker Hitch coupler is the air bag. It changes the way your trailer moves. It takes the edge off when you hit the throttle, stop suddenly, or run into rough patches in the road. Instead of that shock and bounce transferring straight to the truck, it gets absorbed right at the hitch. Your trailer stays steady, and your truck doesn't feel like it's getting beat up every time the road gets rough.
With some couplers, you're never quite sure if they're secure. This Demco eZ-Latch coupler fixes that. Just drop it onto the ball and it latches itself. There are no extra steps involved, and you won't have to hang over the side of your truck straining to get a pin in. Once it's connected, you know it's going to stay put. And if you're leaving your trailer hooked up somewhere, the InfiniteRule lock (IR66FR - sold separately) keeps the latch from being opened so no one can pull up and take it.
Every load's different. One day it's stack of treated lumber for a deck rebuild, the next it's a compact tractor with a brush cutter. That's why there's a valve built in for the air bag. Just add air for heavier hauls and let some out when the trailer's running light. It keeps the truck and trailer in sync so the ride stays smooth, no matter what you're hauling.
Fifth-wheel hitches eat up bed space and add weight you don't need. This kit swaps that bulk for a lighter, more practical setup that bolts in where your old pin box was. The RVGC-4405 base fits Lippert 1621, 0719, and Rhino Box bolt patterns, so there's no need to modify the trailer frame. Once it's mounted, you're ready to drop in the air coupler and enjoy a quieter, more stable ride.
Towing capacity is limited by the lowest rated component in your setup.
If you have a recessed gooseneck ball, there must be at least a 12" x 12" opening in your bed for this coupler to work. In addition, the top of the hitch ball cannot be more than 2" from the top of the bed.

If you have all the right tools, and an assistant, this is a simple 1 hour job. I pulled my truck back, supported the pinbox using an 8x8" block and easily pushed it into place using the block as a pivot point. I dont know what the sweet spot for PSI will be but towing (came preloaded at 20 PSI) but seems smoother and I gained about 3-5" space beteen my truck and trailer after installation. If you get the safety chain package, the shaft on the pinbox bolts will be too short...I grabbed Class 5 bolts at a local Tractor Supply. A noticable umprovement occured when I loaded my duelly, the bed didnt sink like it used with the 5th wheel and the trailer seemed to find its natural level quickly.
Great product
This hitch is amazing
Excellent customer service, definitely recommend to everyone I know. Thank you Jaime. Went above and beyond
Hauled great, working on the amount of air in the system for the best ride.
Bought this product in midst received it on Wednesday it recommended some grease and a second person, fortunately I didn’t need any of those I just put a starter bolt when installed the king pin as followed per the directions. Very simple install I had the torqued to spec in 30 mins with removal. Basically I installed it the the same bolt holes I removed the old one and adjust how I needed to on the gooseneck lock down nut. First holding a stock lift 25 ram 3500 first hole it sat pretty level I am on a bit of a decline when test I tried the 3rd hole it was too high the middle I went with the second hole to see how the load carry’s tomorrow I went with 30 psi on the absorber I’ll follow back with ride details in a few days
Easy install. Nice product.
easy install smooth ride
Fast delivery thanks
