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.
When your truck sits high and your trailer tongue sits low, the trailer rides nose-up behind you. That mismatch chews trailer tires, kicks off sway on the highway, and turns every hard stop into a white-knuckle moment. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop is built to fix exactly that. The 12-hole Super Drop frame gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop, enough to finally get a badly mismatched setup level, and it does it while keeping the same 20K air ride suspension that runs through the whole HD Max Black line. This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball is rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, fits 3-inch receivers, and adjusts from 2" Rise to 6" Drop, so lifted rigs and low-deck trailers ride flat and settled instead of harsh and bouncing.
Key Highlights
- Up to 12-1/2 inches of drop levels even a badly mismatched rig, the deepest reach in the HD Max Black family
- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs GTW while the air ride soaks up frost heaves and hard stops instead of passing them to your load
- 12-hole Super Drop frame lets you dial in the exact height that gets your trailer sitting level
- Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime and shrugs off rock chips, rust, and sun fade
- 3-inch shank drops straight into an F-350, RAM 3500, or dually one-ton (class V/VI receivers)
- Reversible frame flips over for extra rise when a taller tongue calls for it
- Same airbag and same chassis strength as the standard HD Max Black 20K, just with more drop
- Built for lifted trucks, low-tongue gooseneck-converted trailers, and low-deck haulers

Why You'd Reach for the Super Drop Frame
Four Extra Holes of Range
It carries four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. That extra room is what gets you 10 to 12 inches of drop, enough to bring a lifted truck's trailer level.
Air Ride at Every Drop Setting
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, and a solid bar hands every bump straight to your truck and trailer. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the whole drop range, so you get the clearance without the jarring ride.
Flip It for Rise
Turn the frame over and you pick up as much as 2 inches of rise. Handy for a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
Works With Your HD Max Black Attachments
It takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment, including combo balls, pintles, clevises, and drawbars. Buy the frame once and swap attachments as your trailers change.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
If your factory hitch leaves the trailer hanging nose-up or nose-down, you need more drop range, and this frame gives it to you.
- Lifted half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups running 3 to 6 inch lifts
- Trailers with low front tongues that won't sit level behind a stock-height truck
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Duallies that already sit tall from the factory
- Any setup where a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still leaves the trailer off level
- F-350, RAM 3500, and dually one-ton trucks (class V/VI 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)
Gives you up to about 7 inches of drop. This is the one to get for a stock-height truck pulling typical bumper-pull trailers. It costs less and is the go-to for most HD Max Black buyers.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Get this one when the standard frame can't bring the trailer level, like on lifted trucks, low-tongue trailers, or odd height mismatches. It runs about $50 to $80 more than the standard frame.
Why a Level Trailer Matters More Than You'd Think
When a trailer tows nose-high, weight comes off its front axle and the trailer starts to sway behind you. When it tows nose-low, the front axle gets overloaded and the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way you pay for it in tire wear, a rougher ride, and longer stopping distance. For most lifted-truck owners, getting the trailer level is the single biggest towing safety gain on the table, and the Super Drop frame is what lets you do it without giving up air ride.
Built and Finished to Last
The chassis is heavy-duty steel wearing a textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, takes rock chips without flaking, and holds up to sun exposure better than a gloss finish. Inside is the same multi-ply commercial air bag Shocker runs across the HD line. It's covered by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it's in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait.
