Shocker Hitch HD 20K 2.5 Inch Air Receiver Hitch & Drop Sway Bar Tab Ball Mount 2 Inch Hitch Balls

Description

Tackle extreme highway chucking using the Shocker HD 20K Drop Sway Hitch designed for lifted work trucks. Built for 2.5in Class 5 receivers, it handles 20,000 lbs gross towing and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. The air spring isolates rough pavement pulses, though heavy drop positions reduce ground clearance when crossing steep construction swales.

Fabricated from heavy ASTM A572 Grade 50 structural steel, this drop hitch handles abusive commercial work sites. The 2.5in solid steel shank fits modern heavy-duty truck receivers without reduction sleeves. The hitch weighs 62 lbs and spans 15in in total length. Industrial gloss powder coat protects the welded steel frame from winter salt sprays and gravel abrasion.

Key Features of Shocker Hitch SH-HD640-250-2SC

Fleet operators buy Shocker Hitch SH-HD640-250-2SC to level bumper-pull trailers on lifted work pickups. Review commercial drop hitch pricing for professional equipment hauling.

• Solid 2.5in steel shank fits Class 5 truck receivers directly without loose sleeves.
• Gross capacity reaches 20,000 lbs with 2,000 lbs vertical tongue strength.
• Drop ball mount levels high truck frames to standard trailer coupler heights.
• Integrated sway tab mounts commercial friction brake bars for road stability.
• Pneumatic isolation core absorbs sudden frame slam on gravel road washboards.
• Precision punched 1/2in plate adjustments provide rapid ball height repositioning.
• Baked industrial powder coating prevents steel rust from highway salt mist.
• Heat treated Grade 8 clevis pins lock adjustments against heavy tractive pull.

Shock Mitigation Bench Test Dynamics

Impact testing registers an 8,500 lbs surge reduction during emergency trailer braking maneuvers. The 2.5in solid shank exhibits zero measurable permanent bend under 30,000 lbs tensile drawbar pull. Operating air pressures scale from 25 PSI unloaded to 95 PSI with max tongue loading. At full 2,000 lbs tongue force, vertical air stroke retains 1-1/4in of active cushion travel.

Rigging Protocols Critical Exclusions Guidelines

Adjusting drop depth takes under two minutes using the twin wire lock pins. Hooking up friction sway bars stabilizes tall enclosed trailers against harsh crosswinds. Never use this drop mount on 2in receivers with step-up adapters, and never exceed 2,000 lbs tongue load.

• Torque the 2in hitch ball nut to 250 ft-lbs every 90 days.
• Spray moisture displacement fluid into the air valve core every 30 days.
• Grease main pivot bronze bushings using NLGI 2 lithium grease every 60 days.
