Great for heavy-duty towing. 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 20K Impact Max 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 your receiver size and the adjustable ball mount that suits your towing needs. Available for 2-inch and 2½-inch receivers, the Impact Max 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 features 7 adjustment holes, 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. Used by fleets, municipalities, contractors, and boat owners for towing enclosed trailers, race trailers, and more. Works on motorhomes, pickup trucks, vans, toolcats, ATVs, and UTVs equipped with a compatible receiver.
The Impact Max features an impact-resistant textured matte black powder-coated finish on the base frame for durability and long-lasting looks.
Installation is simple: slide the hitch into a standard receiver tube. The 20K Impact Max Cushion Hitch offers up to 20,000 lbs towing capacity and 2,000 lbs tongue weight capacity, depending on the mount selected.
California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
We have only used this hitch a couple of times but so far it has been great. It replay does a good job of absorbing some of the shock from our cratered Michigan roads. I tow a 23’ camper and a 20’ deckover equipment trailer. Looking forward to how it handles the grain table during harvest.
Awesome hitch. Easy to set up and works great. Love the way it helps with trailer handling.
Awesome hitch worth the money, would be nice if they could design the hitch to only use one pin instead of two on the attachments
