Shocker 14K Air Trailer Tongue Mount – No Coupler

• Smoother Towing Every Mile with Bolt-On Air Ride for Bumper Pull Trailers: No more jarring every time you cross a section divider. The Shocker air tongue mount with ball coupler cushions absorbs the bumps, jerks, bounces & sways by filtering and dampening them through a built-in air ride system. This creates a safer, smoother towing experience.
• 14,000 lbs Hitch Weight Rating Capacity: 14,000 lbs gross trailer weight & 1,400 lbs tongue weight. Make sure the coupler you use is rated at 14K.
• No Ball Coupler or Pintle Ring Included: This does not include the bolt-on vertical channel trailer ball coupler or pintle ring. We recommend either a bolt-on vertical Wallace Forge channel mount, Demco ball coupler, or a Shocker pintle ring for best fit and rating to fit the 3″ wide front channel.
• Designed for Equipment Trailers & More: Great for heavy-duty trailers, farm applications, race trailers, stackers, end dumps, equipment trailers & flatbed trailers equipped with 3″ vertical channel or 4 bolt flat plate on front of trailer tongue.
• Easily Adjust for Trailer Weight, Best Ride & Load Control: Fine-tune the PSI for best ride, load control & trailer weight. Just add air pressure for heavier loads and reduce air pressure for lighter loads. When you are towing a trailer, the road bumps and jerks displace the weight. An air hitch absorbs this and cushions it, so when a bump causes the weight to come off the front of your vehicle, which can put too much tongue weight on it, an air hitch absorbs this. Without an air hitch, this can result in poor steering, braking, and trailer sway.
• 2 Quick Mounting Options for the Front of Your Trailer Tongue: Vertical Channel Mount: For Trailers with 3-1/2″ Wide Vertical Channel, most use 5/8″ bolts or pins that are 4-1/2″ long for mounting to trailer. This option fits 3″ wide ID / 3-1/2″ wide OD vertical channel on front of trailer with 2″ center on center bolt pattern. (Need a Vertical Channel? Optional Part # SH-410-C Optional Weld-on Vertical Channel Kit Available – Sold Separately). 4 Bolt Flat Plate Mount: For Trailers with Square Flat Plate Mount with 4-1/2″ square bolt pattern. The Size & Length of Bolts Needed Vary By Trailer. Generally 5/8″ diameter by 4″ long. (DOES NOT Include Trailer Mounting Bolts).
• Reduces Stress, Breakage, Wear & Tear on Truck, Trailer, Cargo & Equipment: This tongue mount air coupler reduces damage on pickup truck, driveline, trailer and frame. The shock-absorbing & dampening design creates less stress on the tow vehicle and trailer. Less stress means less wear and tear on both the tow vehicle and the trailer frame and welds. It?s a must-have for trailer frames that tend to crack because of rough roads with a traditional hard truck-to-trailer connection. This air ride tongue mount coupler will greatly reduce the chances of frame cracking and breaking.
• Less Stress on Passengers & Animals: Passengers & animals experience less stress while being towed. The shock-dampening design effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging, bumps, and damaging forces experienced when towing on rough roads and concrete highways, which you would normally feel with a typical hard connection. This makes the ride smoother and less stressful for everyone involved.
• Simple & Effective Pivoting, Shock Absorbing Design: Filters, dampens & absorbs the road shock through the air ride system & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1″ diameter pivot bolt. Uses a rocker arm pivot design to work with the air ride system. The heat treaded harden, greaseable 1″ diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt used in the Shocker HD air tongue mount coupler prevents wear & tear. The yield strength of the 1″ pivot bolt exceeds the two 5/8″ bolts used to hold the typical ball coupler on the average vertical channel adapter.
• Saves Money & Improves Fuel Economy: Save money with less breakage and improved fuel mileage. Trailer couplers, A-frames, along with all the welds on steel or aluminum, can be very expensive to fix. If welds break while towing a trailer, it becomes very dangerous. An air ride coupler can reduce the chances of breakage, which can save you a great deal of money. Customers report fuel savings of 1 to 2 miles per gallon.
• Can Be Used with a Weight Distribution Hitch: If your pickup is squatting with a trailer & you need a WD Hitch, this tongue mount air coupler will work with a weight-distribution hitch.
• Matte Black Textured Powder Coat Finish: Impact-resistant premium matte black textured powder-coat finish on tongue mount and components.
• Safety Notice: Towing capacity is limited by the lowest rated component. Manufactured by Shocker Hitch? USA in Jamestown, ND.
