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 tows nose-up, and you feel every mile of it: sway building on the highway, weight coming off the front axle, and white-knuckle stops. This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Chrome Combo Ball Mount Shocker & Sway Bar Tabs is built to close that gap. The 12-hole Super Drop frame gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop to bring the trailer back to level, and it runs the same 20K air ride suspension that soaks up frost heaves and hard stops instead of hammering them straight through the truck. Rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, it fits 2-1/2-inch receivers and offers 1/2" to 8-1/2" Drop for dialing in a level tow on lifted rigs and low-deck trailers.

What the Super Drop Frame Buys You
Four Extra Adjustment Holes
Four more holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. That extra room is what lets you dial in 10 to 12 inches of drop, enough to level a lifted truck that a normal hitch leaves hanging nose-up.
Air Ride at Any Drop Setting
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every bump comes straight through to the cab. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the entire drop range, so you get the clearance you need and still get a ride that takes the edge off rough pavement.
Flip It for Rise
Turn the frame over and you get up to 2 inches of rise instead of drop. Handy for a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
Works With Every HD Max Black Attachment
Takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment: combo balls, pintles, clevises, drawbars. Buy the frame once and swap attachments as your trailers change, instead of buying a whole new hitch.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
If your factory hitch leaves the trailer hanging nose-up or nose-down, you need more drop range than it can give. This frame is how you get it.
- Lifted half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups running 3 to 6 inch lifts
- Low-tongue trailers that sit nose-down behind a stock-height truck
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Dually trucks that already sit tall from the factory
- Any setup where a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still leaves the trailer off-level
- F-250 and RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers) running aftermarket suspension
Super Drop vs Standard HD Max Black 20K
Both run the same 20K air ride chassis. The only question is how much drop your setup actually needs.
Standard HD Max Black 20K (8-hole frame)
Gives you up to roughly 7 inches of drop. The right call for a stock-height truck pulling typical bumper-pull trailers, and it costs less.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Pick this when the standard frame just cannot get the trailer level, like a lifted truck, a low-tongue trailer, or an odd height mismatch. It adds $50 to $80 over the standard frame.
Why a Level Tow Matters More Than You'd Think
A trailer that tows nose-high pulls weight off its front axle, and that is what starts the trailer swaying behind you. A trailer that tows nose-low overloads that front axle and dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way you pay for it in tire wear, ride quality, and longer stopping distance. For most lifted-truck owners, getting the trailer level is the single biggest safety upgrade they can make, and the Super Drop frame is what makes it possible without giving up air ride.
Built and Finished for the Long Haul
The chassis is heavy-duty steel finished in textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, takes rock chips without showing every mark, and holds up to UV better than a gloss finish. Inside is the same multi-ply commercial air bag Shocker runs across the HD line. It is covered by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it is in stock and ships direct from Canada with no border wait.
