Maximum weights for Shocker QuickAir 5th to Goose Air Kit: Towing capacity = 24,000 lbs Tongue = 6,000 lbs for 2-5/16″ Ball. Patent #’s 11,370,257 B1 & D898,628. Safety Notice: The Shocker Hitch is a heavy-duty unit, however, towing capacity is limited by lowest rated component. Use only a 2 5/16″ dia. Ball. V-19 rated. Do not exceed G.V.W.R. of ball being used. This gooseneck hitch has a shorter stem than a normal gooseneck and is designed to be used with the Shocker Replacement Goose Box for 5th Wheel Campers only. This gooseneck air hitch cannot be used on a normal gooseneck trailer as the inner tube steel is too short for that application.

1. Remove your existing king pin box and install the Replacement Goose Box (SH-RVGC-4405 or SH-RVGC-4410) in the same location on your camper.
2. TORQUE PIN BOX FASTENERS TO 120 FT POUNDS.

5. To adjust trailer ride height simply loosen the 1⁄2″ x 1″ set bolt in the back of the down tube. Remove the 3/4″ x 5″ thru pin with keeper. Move Shocker Gooseneck Surge hitch to desired position, reinstall bent pin with keeper and tighten set bolt.
6. Routine Lubrication Maintenance should include: Oil the coupler shifting fork shafts, grease the coupling ball socket, and grease the hitch ball to REDUCE WEAR AND IMPROVE SHOCKER ACTION.

• Increase pressure in 5 psi increments until optimum results are found.
• Typical air pressure range is 5 – 15 psi.
• Do NOT EXCEED 100 psi

Note: When towing heavy trailers or trailers with high wind resistance it may be necessary to increase air pressure in the Shocker. We’re here to help. Contact Us
