This setup turns every haul into a smoother trip. The Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox uses an air bag and cushioned bumpers to absorb road shock and cut down on chucking and jerking. The air system works in a forward-and-back motion to take out the lurch you feel when towing, giving you better control and a more comfortable ride. You can fine-tune the air pressure to match your trailer’s load so the ride feels just right whether it’s light or heavy.
Free up your truck bed by towing with your gooseneck hitch instead of a fifth-wheel plate. This adapter replaces the existing pin box and connects right to a 2-5/16" ball. Once installed, you get a clean bed when you’re not towing plus the flexibility to use one system for both work and travel.
Power and reliability are baked in. The heavy-duty steel tubing and 4140 cast steel socket give this coupler real strength for serious towing. It’s rated for 24,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,000 lbs vertical load limit, so it’s ready to handle large fifth-wheel trailers and stay solid under pressure.
Hooking up shouldn’t be a chore. The simple lever lets you engage or disengage the locking mechanism without hassle, and the dual locking bars hold the ball in place to reduce rattle and add security. Grease zerk fittings at the pivot point make it easy to keep things moving smoothly over time.
The tough build is finished with a shot-blasted and powder-coated surface that stands up to rust and wear. It’s made to last through years of towing and rough roads, with a design that’s easy to maintain so you can spend more time towing and less time wrenching.
Note: Safety chain adapters are needed to attach the mandatory safety chains for your rig. Use SHK35MR (sold separately) for best results.

This hitch is amazing
easy install smooth ride
Easy install. Nice product.
Item is as described by seller
Excellent customer service, definitely recommend to everyone I know. Thank you Jaime. Went above and beyond
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.
Hauled great, working on the amount of air in the system for the best ride.
Had i known how hard it would be to install it i would not have bought it.
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
Great product and fast delivery
This was a tremendous hitch. I have a standard bed, and I can do a 90 degree turn without hitting the cab or side rails.
Really smooths out the pull on my 14K Cedar Creek 5th wheel. I have used gooseneck conversions since 1996 and this is the best. the Demco latch is the way to go. Carter got it shipped out to me on Sunday and UPS delivered it on Wednesday. Outstanding!
Install was simple and we've put over 2500 miles on it so far a considerable amount of which was in very windy conditions and it handled beautifully!!
Will recommend to anybody considering a goose ball!
we are always very happy with the customer service and will continue using e trailer for all of our rv related needs
I have the hitch installed, it's a perfect fit TY E-trailer for all your help couldn't have completed this project without your help. You and your team are the best !!!!
