About this product
Lift a truck or hook to a low-tongue trailer and the trailer ends up riding nose-high. You feel it as sway on the highway, chucking through frost heaves, and a hitch that beats on your truck and your load every mile. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop was built to close that gap.
Its 12-hole Super Drop frame gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop, enough to reach a low tongue from a tall receiver and pull the whole rig level. And it does that while running the same 20K air ride suspension as the rest of the HD Max Black line, so you get the clearance without the bone-jarring ride of a solid drop bar.
This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount is rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, fits 2-1/2-inch receivers, and adjusts from 2.5″ Drop to 10.5″ Drop to dial in level tow on lifted rigs and low-deck trailers.
Why the Super Drop Frame
Four Extra Holes, A Lot More Drop: You get four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. Those extra holes are what let you reach 10 to 12 inches of drop and get a lifted truck sitting level.
Air Ride at Every Drop Height: Most deep-drop hitches are a solid chunk of steel, so every bump comes straight through to your truck and trailer. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the whole drop range, so you get the clearance you need and keep a cushioned ride.
Flip It for Rise: Turn the frame over and you pick up as much as 2 inches of rise. That comes in handy for a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
One Frame, Every Attachment: It takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment, from combo balls to pintles, clevises, and drawbars. Buy the frame once and swap the attachment as your trailers change.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
If your factory hitch hangs the trailer nose-up or nose-down, you need more drop range to fix it. This frame gives you that range.
Lifted half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups running 3 to 6 inch lifts
Trailers with low front tongues that ride nose-high behind a tall truck
Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
Dual-rear-wheel trucks that sit tall from the factory
Any rig where the standard 6 to 7 inch drop can't get the trailer level
F-250 and RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks with class V receivers running aftermarket suspension
Super Drop vs Standard HD Max Black 20K
Both run the same 20K air ride chassis, so pick based on how much drop your setup actually needs.
Standard HD Max Black 20K (8-hole frame): Gives you up to roughly 7 inches of drop. It's the right call for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer, and it costs less. This is the standard pick for most drivers.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame): Gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Reach for this one when the standard frame can't get the trailer level, like on lifted trucks, low-tongue trailers, or odd height mismatches. It runs $50 to $80 more than the standard frame.
Why a Level Trailer Matters More Than You'd Think
Pull a trailer nose-high and weight comes off its front axle, which is what starts a trailer swaying behind you. Pull it nose-low and you overload that front axle and the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Go either way and you pay for it in tire wear, a rougher ride, and longer stopping distance.
Getting the trailer level is the single biggest safety upgrade most lifted-truck owners can make, and the Super Drop frame is what makes it possible while you keep your air ride.
Built to Take a Beating
The chassis is heavy-duty steel wrapped in a textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, takes rock chips without flaking, and holds up to sun better than a gloss finish. Inside is the same multi-ply commercial air bag Shocker runs across the whole HD line.
It's backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it's in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait.

Shock Dampening Action
Effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging, and damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection when towing trailers. There is no reason to beat yourself or your equipment up with a hard connection between your trailer and your receiver hitch.
Improves Safety
By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air bag receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.
Simple Pivot Design
uses a rocker arm pivot design which produces a down and back motion, much different than other air hitches on the market. Our design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple airbags common to other air hitches.
Saves Money
By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer and the trailer contents! The Shocker hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds and doing other long term damage to your equipment as well as the valuable cargo you have inside the truck and trailer.
Adds Life To Your Vehicle
By reducing wear and tear on driveline and frame! Treat yourself, your equipment, and your passengers to a much smoother ride. You’ll never go back to the ‘old days’ of continual bumps, jerks, and vibrations.
Safety Notice
Towing capacity is limited by the lowest rated component. Stocked in Canada — ships direct, no customs delay.
