Towing can get rough when every bump and dip sends shock through your setup. The Shocker Hitch Quick Air Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Pin Box uses a built-in air bag and rubber bumpers to take the hit instead. Acting like an air suspension between your truck and trailer, it absorbs road shock and braking jolts to create a much smoother ride. This setup helps protect your truck and trailer from wear on the frame, suspension, and brakes while keeping things steady and comfortable mile after mile.
Every load tows a little different, and this hitch lets you fine-tune that feel. The easily accessible air valve on top of the unit lets you adjust the air bag from about 15-20 psi for a full trailer to 25-35 psi for heavy equipment. Once you’ve unloaded, just release some air for a softer ride home. Even if you can’t air it up, the built-in bumper stops still give you a cushioned tow. It’s a simple, flexible way to match your setup to your haul.
If you’ve ever worried about your trailer getting too close to the cab on tight turns, this pin box fixes that. The 3" offset moves the coupler rearward for extra turning clearance. That space makes a big difference when maneuvering in tight spots, helping prevent contact between your trailer and truck while keeping your towing setup balanced and easy to handle.
Hooking up should feel solid, not sloppy. The Shocker Hitch uses a Shift Lock mechanism with thick, dual locking bars that clamp the ball tightly from both sides—no single pin or loose fit here. Once the lever’s pulled down and the pin and clip are in place, you’ve got a firm, rattle-free connection you can trust. There’s even a hole on top of the lever for attaching a pulley, so you can release it from outside the bed for quick, easy unhooking.
When you’re hauling heavy, this hitch brings the muscle. Rated for 24,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,000 lbs pin weight, it’s ready for serious fifth-wheel duty. The steel body is shot-blasted and powder-coated for durability, with a built-in grease zerk for easy maintenance. Between the strength, clean finish, and thoughtful design, it’s made to keep working as hard as you do.
Note: Safety chain adapters are needed to attach the mandatory safety chains for your rig. Use SHK35MR (sold separately) for best results.
