Air Bumper Hitches
Shocker Hitch's Air Bumper Hitches use built-in airbags to absorb road shock, reducing wear on vehicles and trailers. These hitches adjust air pressure for varying loads, ensuring a smooth tow. Ideal for heavy-duty applications, they enhance control and comfort while extending equipment lifespan.
Gooseneck Hitches
Patented Gooseneck Surge Air Hitches eliminate jerks and tugs during towing with adjustable air ride systems. Designed for flatbeds, equipment trailers, and livestock haulers, they improve stability and reduce fatigue for drivers and cargo.

Shocker's 5th Wheel Air Ride Pin Boxes and conversion kits provide smoother towing for campers. These systems reduce vibration and stress on trailers, enhancing safety and comfort for long-distance travel.
Sway Control Kits
Sway Control Towing Kits combine air ride technology with friction sway bars to stabilize trailers. These systems minimize lateral movement, improving handling on rough roads and increasing overall towing safety.

I haven't received my hitch yet because I just ordered it, but I'd like to make it very clear that up to this point Bob and the rest of his staff have gone out of their way to make sure I have been well informed and both times I've called their company its been after hours and he has answered the phone even though they were already closed. I'm confident that their product will be everything it has been advertised to be just based upon the level of customer service that I've already been given.

Order my gooseneck hitch and ended up in the area and was able to slide by and pick it up. The owner was gung-ho to come out and help me install it right in their lot!! And gave me a bunch of pointers as well! And hours after I left he called me to check and see how it was doing!!! Dont see customer service like this anymore. Guys that work there are a class act for sure and I recommend this company to anyone that on the fence because they work very very well and make a big difference for sure!!

I bought my first Shocker hitch on Black Friday 2019. Used hard all this year towing an enclosed trailer all over town on out not so smooth roads. Really smooths out the bouncing and jerking of the trailer. Hitch is built like a tank, too. I will not go back to towing with a rigid hitch, the Shocker is such an upgrade.

Awesome solution. Completely solved our gooseneck surge. Quality is top notch. Our truck /trailer combination was near undrivable. We have a smooth and predictable setup now.
