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.
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, and now every trailer you hook up rides nose-high. The tongue sits inches below your receiver, the trailer pushes and pulls at highway speed, and a stock drop hitch just can't reach far enough down to fix it. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop closes that gap. Its 12-hole frame drops up to 12-1/2 inches, so you can finally pull the trailer level even off a 3 to 6 inch lift. And it does the whole job on air ride instead of solid steel, so you keep a smooth ride at any drop setting. Rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, built for 3-inch receivers, with 3″ Drop to 11″ Drop of adjustment, it hauls the heaviest bumper-pull load you'll put behind a one-ton and keeps it sitting flat and steady the whole way.
Key Highlights
- Drops up to 12-1/2 inches, the deepest reach in the HD Max Black family, so even a lifted truck can pull a low-tongue trailer level
- Rated to 20,000 lbs GTW on full air ride, so the biggest loads still ride smooth instead of chucking over every bump
- 12-hole Super Drop frame lets you dial in the exact height that sits your trailer dead level
- Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime and shrugs off rock chips, rust, and UV fade
- 3-inch shank drops straight into F-350 / RAM 3500 / dual-rear-wheel one-ton trucks (class V/VI receivers)
- Reversible frame flips over for added rise when your trailer tongue sits high instead
- Same airbag and same chassis strength as the standard HD Max Black 20K, just with the deeper drop range
- Built for lifted trucks, low-tongue gooseneck-converted trailers, and low-deck haulers

Why the Super Drop Frame
Four Extra Holes of Reach
Four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. Those extra holes are what get you 10 to 12 inches of drop, enough to reach down to a low tongue even after you've lifted the truck.
Air Ride at Every Setting
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every frost heave and pothole slams straight up into the truck. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the whole drop range, so you get the clearance you need without beating up your back, your truck, or your cargo.
Flip It for Rise
Flip the frame over and you get up to 2 inches of rise instead. Handy when a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue sits above a stock-height truck's receiver.
Works With Every HD Max Black Attachment
It takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment: combo balls, pintles, clevises, and drawbars. Buy the frame once and swap the attachment 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're short on drop range. This frame gives you enough to fix it.
- Lifted half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups running 3 to 6 inch lifts
- Trailers with low front tongues that sit well below your receiver
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks that already sit tall from the factory
- Any rig where a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still 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 ride on 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)
Up to about 7 inches of drop. The right pick for a stock-height truck pulling everyday bumper-pull trailers, and it costs a bit less.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. This is the one when the standard frame can't reach level, on lifted trucks, low-tongue trailers, or any big height mismatch. 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 whole rig starts to sway at speed. Tow it nose-low and you overload that front axle, then the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way you're chewing through tires, riding rough, and stopping longer than you should. Getting the trailer sitting level is the single biggest safety upgrade most lifted-truck owners can make, and the Super Drop frame is what lets you get there without giving up air ride.
Built and Finished for the Long Haul
A heavy-duty steel chassis wrapped in textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, resists rock chips, and holds up to UV better than a gloss finish. Inside is the same multi-ply commercial air bag Shocker runs across the whole HD line, so it's proven, not new. Backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait.
