Adjustable Drawbar Hitch

Matte Black Finish
Impact resistant Max Black™ textured matte black Premium powder-coat finish on hitch.
Adjustable for Weight
Fine-tune for your towing weight. Just add air for heavier loads. Adjust the air pressure for the best ride and load control. Fine tune your towing by easily adding or reducing air as needed.
Built-in HD Air Ride System
Absorbs road shock and creates a smooth ride & reduces trailer sway. Dual rubber bump cushions offer additional HD performance.
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.
Back a lifted truck up to a low trailer tongue and the math just does not work. The nose rides high, the hitch fights you, and every off-level mile chews on your tires, your ride, and your nerves. 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 carries the same 20K air ride suspension that runs through the whole HD Max Black line, so you get the clearance without the pounding. This Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Drawbar Mount is rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, fits 2-1/2-inch receivers, and gives you 1/2" to 8-1/2" Drop for dialing in a level tow on lifted rigs and low-deck trailers.

Why the Super Drop Frame
12-Hole Drop Range
Four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. That extra room on the frame is what gets you 10 to 12 inches of drop, enough to level a trailer behind a lifted truck.
Air Ride at Every Drop Setting
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every frost heave and expansion joint comes straight up through the truck. The Super Drop keeps its airbag working across the whole drop range, so you get the clearance and still keep the smooth ride.
Flip It for Rise
Turn the frame over and you pick up as much as 2 inches of rise. Handy for a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue when your truck sits at stock height.
Runs the Whole HD Max Black Attachment Family
Works with 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 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
- Trailers with low front tongues that sit too low behind a stock-height truck
- Low-deck equipment haulers, race trailers, and gooseneck-converted bumper-pull trailers
- Dually trucks that ride tall from the factory
- Any rig where a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still cannot 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 ride on the same 20K air ride chassis. The only real question is how much drop your setup actually needs.
Standard HD Max Black 20K (8-hole frame)
Gives you up to about 7 inches of drop. It is the right call for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer, it costs less, and it is the default choice for most setups.
HD Max Black Super Drop (12-hole frame)
Gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop. Pick it when the standard frame just cannot get the trailer level, whether that is a lifted truck, a low-tongue trailer, or an odd height mismatch. It runs $50 to $80 over the standard frame.
Why a Level Tow Matters More Than You Think
When a trailer tows nose-high, it pulls weight off the trailer's front axle, and that is what gets a trailer swaying behind you. When it tows nose-low, it overloads that front axle and the whole rig dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way you pay for it in tire wear, a rougher ride, and longer stops. 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 to Last
Heavy-duty steel chassis under 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. Backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait.
