Gooseneck Air Pressure Settings

  • This is a LOW PRESSURE hitch, that works by tow resistance.
  • Set air pressure at approx. 15 psi, then test drive.
  • Increase pressure in 5 psi increments until optimum results are found.
  • Typical air pressure range is 15-25 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.
