The Shocker 14K Air Drop Hitch adds instant air ride towing to your pickup and trailer, transforming a rough, jarring tow into a genuinely smooth one. It's a miniature air suspension unit that mounts between your truck and trailer, channeling road shock, tugs, jerks, bumps, bangs, and sway through a built-in air spring bag and dual urethane bump cushions. The result is a much smoother, safer, more comfortable ride for you and your trailer, and a hitch that actively protects your tow vehicle, your trailer, and your cargo from the damaging forces of a typical hard connection. It slides into any standard 2" receiver and comes with an adjustable chrome combo ball mount offering both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball with 1/2" to 4-1/2" of drop.

It's ideal for anyone towing bumper-pull trailers, campers, boats, car trailers, and equipment haulers who is tired of the constant bumps, jerks, and vibrations of a rigid hitch. Beyond comfort, the air ride system naturally reduces trailer sway by filtering and absorbing the changing tongue weight that occurs on uneven or rough roads, and owners report saving money by reducing breakage and long-term damage to their equipment, plus fuel savings of 1 or more miles per gallon. Best of all, you can fine-tune the ride: add air for heavier loads or reduce it for lighter ones, dialing in the perfect balance of ride comfort and load control. Made in the USA by Shocker Hitch in Jamestown, ND, it's a smart upgrade for smoother, safer towing every mile.

The heart of the Shocker is its industry-leading rocker pivot design. Unlike other air hitches that rely on slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple airbags, the Shocker uses a shock-damping rocker arm pivot that produces a distinctive down-and-back motion. This motion filters road shock into the integrated air ride system and dual bump cushions, working through the air spring bag, urethane cushions, and a greaseable 1" diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt. That 1" pivot bolt is what allows the pivoting rocker motion to happen smoothly and reliably. It's a simple, effective, and durable design built for years of performance.

The benefits go well beyond comfort. By directing the normal towing resistance between the tow vehicle and trailer through the air ride system, the Shocker produces a much smoother ride and naturally reduces trailer sway, filtering and absorbing the changing tongue weight that occurs when towing on uneven or rough roads. It absorbs the damaging forces of a typical hard connection, which greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds and doing other long-term damage to your equipment and valuable cargo, saving you money on repairs. It's also easier on you, your passengers, animals, tow vehicle, trailer, and cargo, reducing stress and making towing more relaxing and enjoyable, while improving your control of both the truck and the trailer for added safety.

Adjustability is a core advantage. The air bag sits under the receiver tube, allowing a short 10" distance between the mounting pin and ball center, and you can easily optimize the hitch for your tow weight by adding air for heavier loads and reducing air pressure for lighter loads (never exceeding 100 PSI, which can damage the air spring or bushings). Build quality is heavy-duty throughout: 5/16" thick carbon steel side plates with 8 adjustment holes, a thick top plate, the air spring bag, and dual bump cushions. It's finished in an impact-resistant premium safety red textured powder coat on the base frame, with textured matte black on the receiver shank and floating paddle, and the combo ball comes with chrome balls on a black base powder coat. A helpful note versus the heavier-duty models: a leveling spacer block is generally not needed on the 14K air hitch, because its air spring bag is 1" taller than the HD air spring bag. This hitch is designed for use with bumper-pull trailers and will not work with a weight-distribution hitch system.
