The patented and innovative Shocker Gooseneck Surge® Air Hitch is engineered with a 9-inch forward offset coupler designed to provide additional cab clearance, making it an ideal solution for towing gooseneck trailers with short bed pickup trucks or in applications where increased turning clearance is required. This offset configuration positions the coupler 9 inches forward, helping protect the truck cab while improving maneuverability during tight turns.
The integrated offset gooseneck extension coupler features a built-in air ride system that absorbs the bumps, bangs, jerks, and tugs commonly experienced when towing a gooseneck trailer. By isolating these forces, the hitch delivers a significantly smoother, more controlled, and safer towing experience. This offset gooseneck air hitch adapter is commonly used on horse trailers, equipment trailers, race trailers, and flatbed gooseneck trailers pulled by short-bed trucks, providing both added clearance and enhanced ride quality.
Rated at 30,000 lbs, this heavy-duty gooseneck air hitch and coupler improves towing stability by filtering road shock through the integrated air spring bag, effectively reducing the chucking motion felt during acceleration, braking, and uneven road conditions. The shock-absorbing cushion hitch is uniquely designed to function exclusively in a forward-and-back motion, which is typically the most pronounced and uncomfortable force encountered when towing a gooseneck trailer. The result is a smoother ride that protects your truck, trailer, and cargo while increasing driver confidence.
The built-in air ride system creates a safer towing environment for long hauls or frequent use, whether you are traveling locally or across the country for events such as rodeos or competitions. This air ride cushioning gooseneck stem and coupler is a preferred solution for towing gooseneck horse trailers, helping ensure livestock experience a smoother ride, while also being ideal for short bed pickup owners towing race, equipment, or utility trailers.
The hitch is equipped with the patented 30K Shift Lock™ Coupler designed for secure use with 2-5/16″ hitch balls. It is available for gooseneck trailers with round tube, square tube, and crank-handle style stems, and performs exceptionally well on a wide range of trailer types, including end dumps, flatbeds, race haulers, livestock trailers, toy haulers, tilt trailers, horse trailers, and more. The integrated extension adapter coupler features three height adjustment holes and extends the coupler 9 inches forward to optimize towing clearance and overall performance.
Completely replaces your factory gooseneck stem & coupler with the Gooseneck Surge Air system & coupler. Installs in minutes. The built-in extension adapter coupler and set feature 3 height adjustment holes & extends your coupler 9″ forward.
California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
The Shocker Hitch is all it says, and more. This is the best $$ i ever spent on a hitch. It literally takes all the tug out of the trailer. When going across bridges, rough place in the road. You’ll not be disappointed with this product.

Excellent product. Works as advertised. Quality craftsmanship. Well made. And excellent attention to detail. Easy to install and adjust.I replaced lynch pin and snap over clasp to hold the coupler lock lever in place with a Master Lock. Not only does it keep the lever truly and securely locked in place, it also serves as a theft deterrent device.
Exactly as advertised. Easy to install. Made a 1000 mile trip two days after installation. Could feel the bumps the truck hit but nothing from the trailer. The only way you knew the trailer hit a bump was from the noise made by the ramps shifting.
Just installed and did a short trip of 50 miles. So far noticed smoother ride and softer starts and stops.. Need to play around pressures a bit to get fine tuned. Started with 12.5 psi on my LQ horse trailer.. Plan to try 15 psi next. Happy with purchase so far. Came recommended from a friend who swears by his.
Came in 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Very well made and very solid. I really needed the set back of 9 inches. Definitely helps with the ride even smoothed out RR tracks!
