Product Description
- Economy Sport Model Provides Smoother Safer Towing Every Mile: Air ride your towing. Our built air ride system with 2 top cushions cushions the ride & absorbs the road shock. Helps reduce sway, tugs, jerks, bouncing bumps & sways felt when towing. Offers a smoother ride. Cushions offer max performance for really rough roads. It absorbs the tow resistance between vehicle and trailer through the air ride system which naturally reduces trailer sway by filtering and dampening the changing tongue weight that occurs when towing on uneven or rough roads.
- Reduces Damage To Vehicle, Trailer & Cargo: With a typical hard hitch connection, you feel every road bump, trailer bounce & tug between your pickup and trailer, but not with an air receiver hitch. It reduces wear & tear on tow vehicle, trailer & cargo.
- Easier on You, Your Passengers & Animals with Improved Control & Comfort: Treat yourself, equipment, passengers & your animals to a much smoother ride with added comfort and control an air receiver offers.
- Fine Tune For What You’re Towing. Adjustable for Weight: Easily add or reduce air for the trailer weight, best ride and load control. Heavier trailers & loads add air & for lighter loads, just reduce with the handy air valve located under the Sport hitch. See the Shocker Sport Air Pressure Video.
