Air Ride Towing Advantages

In today’s world, whether you are towing a small camper or a heavy duty flatbed gooseneck trailer all loaded up, the road you have to travel from the open highway to gravel roads, air ride system hitches offer less road shock and a smoother ride for both the pickup truck and the trailer.

Shocker Hitch uses air ride technology on our pickup hitches and gooseneck surge hitches for the same reason: a safer and smoother ride. Driving and towing over train tracks, overpasses, busted-up concrete, uneven roads, dirt roads, construction zones, and much more creates rough conditions when trailer towing.

Air bag ball mounts and hitches over so much more that steel springs and torsion axles. Push you can quickly adjust your air pressure for heavier or light loads as you go.

Steel springs and torsion axles are not adjustable. They have to be stiff to carry the load, otherwise, they would bottom out. Airbag hitches on the other hand carry very heavy loads and still stay soft, which is a big win.

Air ride hitches and ball mounts work the same way on a heavy or light trailer. More air for heavy trailers and less are for lighter trailers. Both result in a smoother operation on both the tow rig & trailer, as well as the contents of both.

When it comes to smooth towing and controlling road shock, jerky, pulls, pushes, and the like, air ride system hitches are number one.
