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, every mile shows it. The trailer noses up, the ride gets jittery, and hard stops feel loose. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop closes that gap. Its 12-hole Super Drop frame gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop, and it runs the same 20K air ride airbag that defines the HD Max Black line, so you get the clearance without the pounding. Rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, it fits 3-inch receivers and adjusts from 2.5″ Drop to 10.5″ Drop, so you can dial in a level tow on a lifted rig or a low-deck trailer and pull it flat.

Why the Super Drop Frame
12-Hole Drop Range
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 on a lifted truck.
Air Ride at Any Drop Setting
Most extreme-drop hitches are solid steel, so every frost heave and pothole comes straight up through the truck. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the entire drop range, so you get the clearance and keep the smooth ride.
Reversible for Rise
Flip the frame and you get up to 2 inches of rise instead. Handy for cab-over campers or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
Fits the HD Max Black Ecosystem
Takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment: 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 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 won't sit level behind a stock-height 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-350 / RAM 3500 / dual-rear-wheel one-ton trucks (class V/VI receivers) on aftermarket suspension
Super Drop vs Standard HD Max Black 20K
Both run 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 roughly 7 inches of drop. It's the right pick for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer. It costs less and is the standard HD Max Black setup.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Reach for it when the standard frame can't get the trailer level, like on lifted trucks, low-tongue trailers, or odd height mismatches. It adds $50 to $80 over the standard frame.
Why Level Tow Matters More Than Most Buyers Realize
Tow a trailer nose-high and weight comes off its front axle, which is how sway starts. Tow it nose-low and the front axle gets overloaded and the trailer dives every time you brake. Either way you burn through tires, the ride turns rough, and your stopping distance grows. For most lifted-truck owners, getting the trailer level is the single biggest tow safety upgrade there is, and the Super Drop frame is what makes it possible without giving up air ride.
Built and Finished for the Long Haul
A heavy-duty steel chassis wears a textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, fights off rock chips, and holds up to UV better than a gloss finish. Inside is the same multi-ply commercial air bag used across the Shocker HD line. It's backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it's in stock and shipping from Canada, so there's no border wait.
