    The Shocker Hitch Air Equalizer is easy to install. Below you can find downloadable PDF files and videos to help guide you.

    Quick Install: Bolt your existing equalizer/weight distribution head to the air equalizer and insert it into your pickup receiver.  When installing, ensure there is no air in the airbag.  Take out the valve core so the air is removed. Then hook up your load bars/weight distribution bars, attach them to the tow vehicle, and air up the air equalizer airbag until forward washers free up (washers closest to the truck) and/or until the main frame touches the bump cushions closest to the trailer.

    FAQ

    Will it work on my equalizer, weight-distribution or load leveling hitch?  Yes on most brands. Your weight-distribution head bolts to our air equalizer. Measure the head bolt pattern (not the shank). Our air equalizer fits 2-1/2″ center to center or 3-3/4″ center to center bolt patterns. Fits & bolts to most major brands of weight-distribution hitch heads: Fastway E2, Equalizer, Reese, Husky, Pro Series, Torklift, Blue OX, Camco Eaz Lift & Curt round bar & Curt trutrack or trunnion head. (Does not work with Anderson chain style weight-distribution hitch)

    How easy it is to install?  Plan about 20-30 minutes. Check out the install video.

    How much air pressure does the air equalizer need?  You add air until the airbag is about 1/8″ off of the truck side, forward bump cushions. Here is a quick video showing how to set air pressure on air equalizer.

    Do I have to adjust or reset my current weight-distribution bars or my sway control arm(s)? Generally no. When you attach your existing weight distribution head to the air equalizer, Set it up at the same height on your pickup as you had the hard connection shank. The air equalizer has 2 pin holes in the shank, use the pin hole that is closest to your previous length on your solid connection shank. If this is done, you should be a the same height and length of your previous connection and not have to adjust the length of your weight-distribution or sway control bars.

    Does Shocker Hitch sell weight-distribution or sway control bars?  Yes, we have them available with the Shocker Air Equalizer with WD Hitch, Air Equalizer with WD Hitch & Sway Bars or a Shocker Air Equalizer & Sway Bars Kit for your existing WD Hitch. This air equalizer is along made for existing weight distribution hitches on the market. Here is a list of the w-d hitches it works with. Fits & bolts to most major brands of weight-distribution hitch heads: Fastway E2, Equalizer, Reese, Husky, Pro Series, Torklift, Blue OX, Camco Eaz Lift & Curt round bar & Curt trutrack or trunnion head. (Does not work with Anderson chain style weight-distribution hitch) It does however work with friction sway control arms. You can check out our sway control & air equalizer combo kit here:

      Q Will this hitch help with porposing answer now
      A

      The Shocker Air Equalizer is designed to absorb the forward n back jerking the trailer does to the truck. This jerking is where most porpoising starts when towing. In effect absorbing the jerking should greatly help with porpoising.

      You would want to let the air out if you are storing it separate/unhooked from the trailer.  If you are storing it hooked up to a truck and trailer under load/tension then you would leave it aired.

After setting up the Air Equalizer hitch with my Fastway e2 head and bars, I only require about 15psi to get the 1/8" clearance off of the truck side bump stop...Not the 40-60 as mentioned in the instructions. 20psi puts it almost exactly centered between the two stops.

      This is not a problem at all. Each truck and trailer will have different air pressure just depending on how heavy the trailer tongue weight is.

      Q Would I disconnect my trailer the same way I do now? answer now
      A

      Thanks for reaching out, Todd. For the Shocker Air Equalizer, you would need a weight distribution hitch head to mount to the air equalizer. From that weight distribution head, you would indeed disconnect your trailer the same way you do now. 

    26. We have a 2020 Tundra pulling a 21’ TT and get into a constant up and down bouncing on what seems like a smooth road. Would this setup smooth out that uncomfortable harmony between the two vehicles? It appears to happen when the road/concrete sections were cut and sealed a certain distance apart. It doesn’t happen in all roads, new smooth asphalt doesn’t create the issue.

      Hello Todd,

      The Shocker Air Equalizer can help with those issues. It uses the airbag to help filter out the bouncing and jerking motion.

      With the amount of tongue weight you have with your minnie winnie, the weight distribution is probably not needed. With our shocker Air Hitch would be more beneficial to your set up and also work with other trailers. Thanks Gjordin

      Q What difference does the springs on the truck matter.Coil or leaf? answer now
      A

      When used in SUVs with coil overs, the hitch and the coil overs tend to work against each other. In them working against each other it usually end in an unsatisfactory ride.

      With pick ups our air equalizer can be used with rear coil over spring, it can not be used on SUV with coil overs.

      A If your truck can handle the tongue weight of the loaded trailer than the shocker air hitch will work. If your truck does not carry the tongue weight then you would need the air equalizer depending upon how low the ball needs to be.

      Q How can I measure the tongue weight of my trailer ? answer now
      A There are a few ways to determine this. You can either use tongue weight scales, or a commercial scale. Tongue weight scale - Simply place the scale beneath your trailer jack on level ground, and the easy to read gauge will display your tongue weight. Commercial scale - Your vehicle and trailer must be fully loaded and fueled just as they will be when you are leaving on a trip. Drive on to the scale with all 4 wheels of the truck and record the weight of the truck with the trailer attached. Then unhook the trailer and jack up the trailer tongue so there is no weight on the hitch ball. Record the weight of only the truck on the scale, which will give you your GVW (gross vehicle weight). Now subtract the GVW from the weight you got with the truck/trailer attached. This will give you your tongue weight. With weight distribution hitches you will need to do a little more measurements. You must get the weight of the gear behind the rear axle, weight your truck with and without, to get the weight of the gear. Add the gear weight to your tongue weight and you will get the what your weight distribution hitch must support. (Ex: 1200lb TW + 200lb total weight of gear = 1400lb WD must support)
    106. I am considering the Shocker Air Equalizer for Weight Distribution Hitch for my 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7. Pulling camper weighing 6500 loaded. My ride is smoother without the weight distribution hitch. It seems that I get a double bounce on bumps when the WD hitch is in place. Will your product help with that perceived "double bounce"?

      A Yes it will help with the "double bounce". The Air Equalizer will help take away the "back and forth" motion and that will help smooth out those bumps that you are experiencing.
