Product Description
- Smoother Towing Every Mile with Air Ride: The built-in air spring and dual 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.
- Reduces Damage to Vehicle, Trailer & Cargo: With a typical hard hitch connection, you feel every road bump, trailer bounce & tug between your pickup and trailer, but not with an air receiver hitch. It reduces wear & tear on the tow vehicle, trailer & cargo.
- Easier on You, Your Passengers & Animals with Improved Control & Comfort: Treat yourself, equipment, passengers & your animals to a much smoother ride with added comfort and control an air receiver offers.
- 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 8.5″ 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.
- Fine Tune For What You’re Towing. Adjustable for Weight: Easily add or reduce air for the trailer weight, best ride and load control. Heavier trailers & loads add air & for lighter loads, just reduce it with the handy air valve located under the Sport hitch. See the Watch: Shocker Sport Air Pressure Video.
- Provides Comfort & Improves Safety: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The heavy-duty 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.

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.
