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, the trailer rides nose-up, chucks and sways down the road, and every frost heave and hard stop hammers your truck, your trailer, and whatever you loaded on it. The Shocker HD Max Black Super Drop Air Hitch & Cushion Drawbar Mount closes that gap. Its 12-hole Super Drop frame gives you up to 12-1/2 inches of drop, so you can finally get the trailer riding level, and it does that while the same 20K air ride suspension keeps soaking up the road. Rated at 20,000 lbs GTW, it fits 2-inch receivers and offers 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 Holes, More Drop to Work With
You get four more adjustment holes than the standard 8-hole HD Max Black frame. That extra room is what gives you 10 to 12 inches of drop, enough to level a lifted truck that a normal hitch leaves nose-high.
Soft Ride Even at Full Drop
Most deep-drop hitches are solid steel, so every bump comes straight through to your truck and trailer. The Super Drop keeps the airbag working across the entire drop range, so you get the clearance without giving up the cushion.
Flip It for Rise
Turn the frame over and you get up to 2 inches of rise. Handy for a cab-over camper or a taller trailer tongue behind a stock-height truck.
Works With Your HD Max Black Attachments
It takes every HD Max Black ball mount attachment, including 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 hangs the trailer nose-up or nose-down, you need more drop range than a stock setup gives you. 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 drag on stock-height trucks
- 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 a standard 6 to 7 inch drop still leaves the trailer off level
- F-150-class half-ton trucks (and class III/IV 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)
Gives you up to roughly 7 inches of drop. That is the right call for a stock-height truck pulling a typical bumper-pull trailer, and it costs less. It is the default pick in the HD Max Black lineup.
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 just cannot get the trailer level, whether that is a lifted truck, a low-tongue trailer, or an odd height mismatch. It runs about $50 to $80 more than the standard frame.
Why Level Tow Matters More Than Most Buyers Realize
Here is what an unlevel trailer actually does to you. Tow nose-high and weight comes off the trailer's front axle, which is what starts the sway that white-knuckles your stops. Tow nose-low and you overload that front axle, so the trailer dives every time you hit the brakes. Either way your tires wear faster, the ride gets rougher, and your braking distance grows. Getting the trailer level is the single biggest tow safety upgrade most lifted-truck owners can make, and the Super Drop frame is what makes it possible without giving up air ride.
Built and Finished for the Long Haul
The chassis is heavy-duty steel wearing 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 it runs the same multi-ply commercial air bag used across the Shocker HD line. Backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee, in stock and shipping direct from Canada with no border wait.
