Product Description
- This is a refurbished or used-like-new hitch that was returned to the factory for whatever reason. It may have dings and nicks in the finish. Otherwise, it is like an almost new hitch & works great.
- Smoother Towing Every Mile with Air Ride: The built-in air spring and dual urethane bump cushions absorb road shock, bouncing, bumps, bangs, tugs, and jerks for a smoother ride in your tow vehicle and trailer. The air ride system also helps reduce trailer sway by absorbing changing tongue loads on uneven roads. Built for years of heavy-duty towing.
- Pintle & Ball Towing Ratings: Complete SH-334 attachment ratings: pintle mode, 16,000 lb GTW; 2″ ball mode (SH-334-2), 12,000 lb GTW; 2-5/16″ ball mode (SH-334-25), 16,000 lb GTW. Maximum attachment TW is 3,000 lb in each mode. Follow the selected hitch base rating; other attachment options have their own limits.
- Easier on You, Passengers, Animals, Truck, Trailer & Cargo: This air receiver reduces stress on you, your passengers, animals, tow vehicle, trailer, cargo, and equipment. Less stress makes for a more enjoyable experience.
- Simple & Effective Pivoting, Shock Absorbing Design: Filters, dampens & absorbs the road shock through the air ride system & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1″ diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt. Uses a rocker arm pivot design which produces a down & back motion, much different than other air hitches on the market. Our design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple airbags.
- Choose Your Mount & Drop/Rise: Choose combo-ball, drop-ball, raised-ball, sway-control-tab, pintle, pintle-with-ball, drawbar, cushioned-drawbar, or clevis attachments. 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.
- Provides Comfort & Improves Safety: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air ride receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing. Added comfort and control make it safer. Smoother towing also makes it safer.
- Fine Tune for Tow Weight, Best Ride & Load Control: Fine-tune for your towing weight. Add or reduce air depending on the weight of your trailer & contents for best ride & load control. Watch the Air Pressure Setup Video for heavier loads, and reduce psi for lighter trailers.
- Reduces Damage & Saves Money: By reducing breakage on both the trailer & contents. The Original Shocker air receiver hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the wear & tear on your truck, driveline, trailer & frame. It also reduces the chances of breaking welds & other long-term damage to your equipment, pickup truck & trailer.

- 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.
