Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.
Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.
You lifted the truck, or you're pulling a low-tongue trailer, and now the nose sits way down. The trailer chucks over every frost heave, dives on hard stops, and chews through tires because it never rides level. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop was built to close that gap. Its 12-hole Super Drop frame drops the ball up to 12-1/2 inches, the deepest in the HD Max Black line, so you can finally get the trailer sitting flat, and it does it on the same 20K air ride airbag as the rest of the HD Max Black family, so you get the clearance without the harsh, jarring ride most deep-drop hitches hand you. This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2-5/16" Ball is rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, fits any 2-inch receiver, and adjusts from 2" Rise to 6" Drop to dial in level tow on lifted rigs and low-deck trailers.

Why the Super Drop Frame
Four Extra Holes, Way More Drop
You get four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. Those extra holes are what let you dial in 10 to 12 inches of drop on a lifted truck.
Air Ride at Every Setting
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every bump comes straight through to your truck and trailer. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working at every hole in the drop range, so you get the clearance and keep the smooth ride.
Flips Over for Rise
Flip the frame and you get up to 2 inches of rise instead of drop. Handy for cab-over campers or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
One Frame, Every Attachment
It takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment (combo balls, pintles, clevises, drawbars). Buy the frame once and swap attachments as your trailers change.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
If your factory hitch leaves your trailer sitting nose-up or nose-down, you need more drop range. This frame gives it to you.
- Lifted half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups (3 to 6 inch lifts)
- Trailers with low front tongues that ride nose-down behind stock-height trucks
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Dually trucks that already sit tall from the factory
- Any rig where a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still can't level the trailer
- F-150-class half-ton trucks (and class III/IV receivers) running aftermarket suspension
Super Drop vs Standard HD Max Black 20K
Both ride on the same 20K air ride chassis. Pick based on how much drop your setup actually needs.
Standard HD Max Black 20K (8-hole frame)
Up to roughly 7 inches of drop, and it costs less. The right pick for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer. This is the standard build most buyers start with.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Go this route when the standard frame can't get your trailer level, like on lifted trucks, low-tongue trailers, or bigger height mismatches. It adds $50 to $80 over the standard frame.
Why Level Tow Matters More Than Most Buyers Realize
A trailer that rides nose-high pulls weight off its front axle, and that is what starts the sway you feel white-knuckling down the highway. Ride nose-low and you overload that front axle so the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way you burn through tires, fight a rough ride, and add feet to your stopping distance. Getting the trailer sitting flat is the single biggest tow safety upgrade most lifted-truck owners can make, and the Super Drop frame is what makes it possible without giving up your air ride.
Built and Finished for the Long Haul
Heavy-duty steel chassis under a textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime and takes rock chips and years of UV without fading the way gloss finishes do. It runs the same multi-ply commercial air bag used across the Shocker HD line, so you are getting proven parts underneath.
