Shop Shocker Hitch Air Hitches
Shocker Hitch makes air-cushioned receiver hitches designed to absorb bumps and jolts during towing. Their air ride system uses a built-in air bag to soften the connection between the tow vehicle and trailer, which can help reduce the impact transferred between the two.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 12K and 14K Shocker Hitch models?
The 12K (7-hole) is rated to 5,443kg. The 14K (8-hole) is rated to 6,350kg and is designed for heavier loads. Choose the model that matches or exceeds your tow weight requirements.
Do I need special installation for a Shocker Hitch?
Shocker Hitch air hitches are designed to fit standard receiver mounts. Check the receiver size (typically 2" or 2.5") against the Shocker Hitch specifications for your vehicle.
Can I adjust the air pressure in the hitch?
Yes. The air bag system includes a valve for adjusting pressure. Higher pressure provides a firmer ride for heavier loads, while lower pressure provides more cushioning for lighter setups.
