The Original Shocker Air Receiver Hitch offers an innovative solution to improve the towing experience by incorporating an advanced air ride system. This system functions as a miniature air ride system, positioned between the vehicle and trailer, absorbing road shocks and vibrations to provide a much smoother ride. With the ability to adjust air pressure, users can fine-tune the system for optimal load control and comfort, adapting to different towing conditions for both light and heavy-duty applications.
Designed with versatility in mind, the Shocker Air Hitch has 7 holes of adjustment that will work with a range of customizable ball mount attachments, including options for drop mounts, raised mounts, straight mounts and more. This flexibility ensures the hitch can be tailored to fit the specific towing needs of your vehicle. The Original 12k air receiver hitch supports a 12,000 lbs (9,000kg) tow rating and 1,200 lbs (900kg) tongue weight, making it suitable for a wide variety of trailers and towing setups. Whether you’re towing on smooth highways or rough gravel roads, the air suspension system effectively cushions the ride, reducing jerks and bumps that typically occur with traditional, hard connections.
The Shocker Air Receiver Hitch is easy to install, fitting into a standard receiver tube commonly found on American trucks, utes, vans, select SUVs, motorhomes, and RVs. Manufactured by Shocker Hitch® USA in Jamestown, ND, it is built for durability and long-lasting performance. By isolating the connection between your truck and trailer, this system not only enhances towing comfort but also helps reduce wear and tear on both your equipment and truck, making it a reliable choice for anyone looking to improve their towing experience.
