Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Kit – 24K lbs GTW

Upgrade your 5th wheel towing with the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Conversion Kit, designed for seamless compatibility with Lippert 1716, 1116, 0115, FabEx500, 503, 520, 530, and 560 models (and RBW 7028/M19 Rota-Flex). This kit transforms your camper for gooseneck towing, offering a lighter, more efficient setup that maximizes truck bed space and improves handling.

The kit includes a replacement gooseneck pin box (12.5″ wide) and an adjustable Demco EZ-Latch coupler rated for 24,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 6,000 lbs tongue weight. The auto-latching coupler simplifies hookup—just lower it onto a 2-5/16″ gooseneck ball, and it locks securely. Release is just as easy with a simple lever flip. With three height-adjustment holes, it ensures a perfect fit for trucks with 6′6″, 6′10″, or 8′ beds, giving you full bed access and eliminating the bulk of 5th wheel sliders and hitch plates.

Beyond convenience, this conversion reduces payload weight (since you’re not towing a heavy 5th wheel hitch) and lowers the tongue weight for better stability. Safety chains are required for gooseneck towing—sold separately—and existing pin box bolts are reused for installation. Built in Jamestown, ND by Shocker Hitch, this kit is a straightforward solution for towing enthusiasts who want the performance of a gooseneck setup without the hassle of a full rebuild.
