Shocker Hitch 14K 2.5 Inch Air Receiver Hitch & Drop Sway Bar Tab Ball Mount 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Balls

Description

A welded friction sway control tab equips the Shocker 14K Drop Sway Air Hitch for crosswind stability. Sized for 2.5in Class 5 truck receivers, it handles 14,000 lbs trailer pull with 1,400 lbs tongue force. The air bladder neutralizes road slam, though sway friction arms must uncouple before executing tight backing turns.

Fabricated from heavy ASTM A572 Grade 50 structural steel, this drop hitch handles abusive commercial work sites. The solid 2.5in square steel shank slides into modern heavy-duty truck receivers without adapter sleeves. The assembly weighs 55 lbs bare and spans 15in in total length. Baked black powder coat shields all raw steel surfaces from gravel chips and winter chemical deicers.

Key Features of Shocker Hitch SH-640-250-25SC

Hotshot drivers buy Shocker Hitch SH-640-250-25SC to haul tall enclosed cargo trailers through mountain gusts. Operators check commercial drop hitch pricing for heavy-duty sway control setups.

• Solid 2.5in square shank mates directly to Class 5 truck receivers.
• Supports 14,000 lbs gross pull weight with 1,400 lbs vertical tongue strength.
• Drop ball platform provides essential height leveling for tall work pickups.
• Side sway tab mounts standard friction brake bars for highway stability.
• Forged 2-5/16in steel ball handles severe industrial coupler clamping forces.
• Pneumatic shock cell absorbs violent expansion joint impacts on rough roads.
• Twin Grade 8 steel pins lock channel height settings with extreme shear strength.

Dynamic Displacement Shock Cell Tests

Hydraulic ram tests show a 65 percent drop in frame shock transfer during rapid vehicle stops. Deflection along the 2.5in solid shank measures under 0.010in under a 22,000 lbs tension drawbar pull. Operating air pressures run from 20 PSI empty to 80 PSI with 1,400 lbs tongue load, preserving 1-1/4in active cushion travel.

Towing Safety Protocols Maintenance Procedures

Adjusting the drop mount requires pulling two wire clips and resetting the channel height. Connecting the friction sway bar takes seconds using the dedicated side tab. Do not connect this assembly to weight-distribution systems or use it without adequate air pressure.

• Pump multipurpose NLGI 2 lithium grease into the pivot zerk every 30 days.
• Torque the 2-5/16in ball hex nut to 450 ft-lbs every 90 days.
• Check cold air bladder pressure with an accurate gauge every 14 days.
