Adjustment range depends on your selection, with up to 7.5" of drop with the drop-ball mount. Choose No Ball Mount if you already have a compatible attachment or plan to purchase one separately. See the Drop/Rise Guide for attachment ranges and ratings, or explore ball mount attachments.
- Shock Dampening Pivoting Rocker Drop Hitch Design: Our industry-leading rocker arm pivot design with integrated greaseable 1" diameter carbon steel pivot bolt allows for a down and back motion, allowing the integrated dual bump cushions to filter, dampen & absorb the rock shock, tugs and jerks. Plus, the dual cushion design reduces the tendency of trailer sway created by changing tongue weights on concrete highways and rough roads by dampening some of the weight transfer. If sway is an issue, check out our sway control hitches.

- Safety Notice: Towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component. Never exceed the lowest applicable gross trailer weight (GTW) or tongue-weight (TW) rating of the vehicle, receiver, hitch base, attachment, ball, coupler, or trailer. Evaluate GTW and TW separately. The proper ball must be installed before towing, including in pintle mode. SH-334 without a ball is a replacement part only.
Get smoother trailer towing with the Shocker 14K Impact™ Cushion Hitch. The built-in dual bump cushions and pivoting design absorb road shock, bumps, tugs, jerks, and bangs normally experienced with a hard hitch connection. This cushioning makes towing easier on you, your truck, trailer, and cargo, while helping reduce the tendency for trailer sway.
Build your own by choosing the adjustable ball mount that suits your towing needs. Designed for 2-inch receivers, the Impact offers 20+ ball mount attachment options, including drop, dual ball, raised, pintle, drawbar, clevis pin, pintle with ball, and mounts with sway bar mounting tabs.
The adjustable design provides 8 inches of adjustment, and the entire hitch can be flipped around for more drop or rise. The shank is adjustable with two hitch pin holes and also has room for hitch-mounted towing mud flaps.
The heavy-duty dual bump cushion design handles rough roads and provides a smoother towing experience than a solid ball mount. Great for towing equipment trailers, boats, enclosed trailers, race trailers, and campers. Works on pickup trucks, full-size vans, SUVs, CUVs, minivans, motorhomes, RVs, toolcats, and UTVs equipped with a compatible 2-inch receiver.
Installation is simple: slide the hitch into a standard 2-inch receiver tube. The 14K Impact Cushion Hitch has a 14,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,400 lbs tongue weight capacity.
California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Works great
I tried the xr channel first but it didn’t have the right rise. I switched to this and the comfort of towing is VERY Noticeable. The bumps that typically are jarring weren’t. It just felt smoother over bridges too. Towed amazing. Totally worth the extra cheddar.
This trailer looks very robust and, although I haven’t put it to the test yet, I can already say it is very well built. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of its design, and its elegant red color gives it a perfect balance between subtlety and strength.
I would also like to highlight the excellent support team. From the very beginning, I was assisted by James, who proved to be highly professional, friendly, and efficient throughout the entire process.
As a suggestion for improvement, I believe the shipping protection could be reinforced a bit more. I understand that this is a heavy item, but additional packaging would help ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
Overall, I give this product a five-star rating for its build quality. Once I have the chance to fully test it, I will gladly update my review to share my experience with its performance.
This hitch is heavy & solid in its construction. It makes towing a weighty trailer comfortable and gives you the “it’s not behind you” feeling. When we tried towing our boat with pressure brakes the “clunk” feeling we usually had from the stop and go was gone. Worth it
