Compare the Shocker Quick Air® Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box with Kingpin to the REESE 5th Airborne. Both products use air-ride technology to cushion the connection between your truck and 5th wheel camper, but their designs, capacities and serviceability are different.
The Shocker Quick Air features a built-in, surge-style air-ride system that uses an air spring, dual urethane bump cushions and pivoting surge action. This design is focused on absorbing the forward-and-back chucking, jerking and tugging commonly experienced while towing a 5th wheel camper. The replaceable air-ride assembly is easy to access and service if needed.
Rated for up to 24,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 6,000 lbs. pin weight, the Quick Air offers greater towing capacity than the REESE 5th Airborne 94420. It is made in the USA and backed by Shocker Hitch’s 60-day smoother-towing guarantee for eligible purchases directly from ShockerHitch.com. REESE describes the 94420 as an adjustable air-ride pin box designed to reduce chucking and vertical shock. Confirm current REESE availability with the manufacturer; this comparison is not a stock or discontinuation notice.

How The Quick Air 5th Wheel Pin Box with Kingpin Works
How the Reese Airborne Works
Reviewed September 25, 2026: Shocker prices of $1,299–$1,349 were checked against current website SKU data and may change. Match the kingpin pin box to the original mounting pattern and loaded trailer/pin weight; this is not a fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck conversion. Towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component. REESE ratings and service requirements: 94420 manufacturer manual. Fitment and design comparison: REESE manufacturer catalog. Verify current availability and warranty eligibility with REESE.
