12 Adjustment Holes & 4-1/2" to 12-1/2" of Drop
With the massive drop of this hitch, you should have at least 22" of height from the ground to the bottom of your trucks receiver tube. Choose a 2" or 2 5/16" hitch ball.
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.
Lift a truck and the receiver climbs with it. Now your trailer tongue sits way down low, the trailer rides nose-high, and every mile you feel it chucking and pushing at the back of the cab. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop closes that gap. Its 12-hole Super Drop frame reaches down as far as 12-1/2 inches so you can finally pull the trailer level, and it does it on the same 20K air ride airbag that carries the whole HD Max Black line, so the ride stays smooth instead of hammering your truck, your trailer, and your cargo. This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Drop Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball hauls up to 20,000 lbs GTW, slides into a 2-1/2-inch receiver, and adjusts anywhere from 4-1/2" to 12-1/2" of drop to dial in level tow on a lifted rig or a low-deck trailer.

Installation

Why the Super Drop Frame
Four Extra Holes, Way More Drop
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, the range a lifted truck actually needs to get the trailer level.
Smooth Ride Even at Full Drop
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every frost heave and expansion joint slams straight through. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the whole drop range, so you get the clearance without the beating.
Flip It Over 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, from combo balls and pintles to 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 leaves the trailer hanging nose-up or nose-down, more drop range is what fixes 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 a stock hitch just can't level
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Dually trucks that sit tall right from the factory
- Any setup where the standard 6 to 7 inch drop still can't get the trailer 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 share the same 20K air ride chassis. Choose based on how much drop your setup actually needs.
Standard HD Max Black 20K (8-hole frame)
Reaches roughly 7 inches of drop. That is the right pick for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer, and it costs less. It is the standard choice in the HD Max Black.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Reaches up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Pick this when the standard frame just 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.
Towing Level Keeps You Safer
Tow nose-high and weight comes off the trailer's front axle, which is what sets off sway at highway speed. Tow nose-low and you overload that front axle and the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Both ways you burn through tires, ride rough, and add distance to every stop. 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 the air ride.
Built Heavy, Finished to Last
The chassis is heavy-duty steel wrapped in a textured matte black powder coat that hides road grime, takes rock chips without showing them, 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 is covered by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and it is in stock and shipping from Canada, so there is no border wait.
