Anyone who’s towed over rough pavement knows that jarring bounce that travels from trailer to cab. The Shocker Hitch HD Air absorbs that shock with its built-in air bag and cushioned bumpers. Together they act like a mini suspension system between your truck and trailer, softening bumps and jerks so towing feels steady and controlled. You can fine-tune the air pressure for your load using the easy-access valve to get just the right amount of cushion.
When you’re pulling big equipment or heavy trailers, you need a hitch that won’t back down. This mount includes both 2" (10,000 lbs GTW / 1,000 lbs tongue weight) and 2-5/16" (20,000 lbs GTW / 2,000 lbs tongue weight) balls built into a single platform for strength and versatility. The Grade 50 steel plates and cold-rolled steel shank deliver maximum durability for serious towing, while the one-piece ball design adds even more confidence under load.
Switching between trailers of different heights is no hassle here. The Shocker HD Air offers five drop positions from 0" to 4-1/2", letting you line up your coupler for level towing every time. Just pull the large D-handle pins, adjust the height or flip between the 2" and 2-5/16" balls, reinsert the pins, and you’re ready to go. No tools needed—just a quick adjustment and back on the road.
Towing gear faces a lot of grime and weather. This hitch’s shot-blasted, powder-coated steel finish stands up to rust and corrosion while keeping its matte black look sharp. The chrome-powder-coated steel balls add another layer of protection, so you get lasting strength without constant upkeep. A grease zerk at the pivot point makes it easy to keep everything running smooth trip after trip.
Hard metal-to-metal hitches can lead to premature wear on your truck and trailer parts. The Shocker HD’s air ride system cushions those forces so your brakes, chassis, and frame aren’t constantly absorbing impact. That means less jarring on you, less strain on your gear, and more life out of both your vehicle and trailer over time.

Very please with the service you guys are great
Works great!
Awesome hitch!! Has been a game changer for me pulling trailers!!
Great product. Really makes a differenc e!
I think we have them on four or five of our trucks Next Level comfort with heavy trailers. If you can afford it don’t question it get one!
Very good item, easy used and work well. Thank you very much. Its very helpful
Thanks Joshua for your help with getting the shocker hitch and returning the weight distribution hitch. You were very helpful and understanding with my concern about the weight distribution hitch not working because of the poor condition of a lot of the roads and interstates that I travel.
I still havent recieved the ball for the hitch
Yes, the hitch arrived today. Thanks for getting it shipped out so quickly.
It looks great. I just hope it works as well as it looks! :)
I'll be testing the hitch out this coming week on a 1,500+ mile trip with a large enclosed car hauler and I will gladly leave a review once I get back.
I could tell the difference the first time I used this hitch. It took the jarring from rough roads out of front seats and cushioned the ride nicely. I would recommend this hitch to anyone who has a fair amount of hitch weight. Lighter hitch weights probably wouldn’t work for you.
We have a Sporttrek 292VRB we pull. Tongue weight is around 950 pounds with our stuff in the front compartment. Nothing short of outstanding!! My wife and I went from riding what seemed like a bull ride to riding in what seemed like a high dollar luxury vehicle! It absolutely made that much difference for us. To add to the enjoyment, it was easy to install and have had no problems towing. I have done a lot of bumper pulling or towing and it’s like an imp is riding in whatever I am towing and pumping brakes and causing all the jerking!! This hitch stopped it and the little imp had to go find someone else to aggravate!
