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 have felt it. A lifted truck sits too tall for the trailer, the tongue rides at the wrong height, and every hard stop and frost heave slams back through the ball and into your hands. Then you buy a whole new drop hitch for the next trailer and the money piles up. The Shocker XR Extended Range is one frame that solves both. It gives you up to 7-1/2 inches of rise and up to 7-1/2 inches of drop, so you can level almost any trailer, and it is built around a base plus interchangeable attachments, so you buy the chassis once and swap attachments as your trailers change. This XR Drop Hitch 10 Hole Base Frame Only with Pins is rated up to 12,000 lbs GTW, runs a 2-inch, 10-hole receiver setup, and ships with the pins to get you rolling.

What Extended Range Means
Drop AND Rise in One Frame
Most drop hitches give you a little drop or a little rise, and you find out too late you picked the wrong one. The XR spans the full range in a single frame, up to 7-1/2 inches of rise on one end and up to 7-1/2 inches of drop on the other. Flip it and pin it to land anywhere in between.
Air Ride at Every Setting
A solid drop hitch beats you up on rough roads. The XR carries the same multi-ply airbag used in the HD line, so the load stays cushioned and the ride stays tunable at any drop or rise setting you choose.
Buy the Base Once, Swap Attachments
Buying a whole new hitch every time you change trailers is money down the drain. Buy the XR base frame once, then add the attachment you need today, whether that is a ball mount, pintle hook, clevis, drawbar, or combo ball. Switch attachments as your trailers change and keep your total cost down.
Two Frame Variants
The 8-hole frame covers most lifted trucks and standard low-tongue trailers. The 10-hole frame stretches the range further for the extreme setups. Both run on the same attachment lineup, so you are never boxed in.
Built For These Buyers
If your towing changes every season, with different trailers, trucks, and loads, the XR is built for exactly that.
- Lifted-truck owners who need more than 6 inches of drop
- Households running a boat, camper, and equipment trailer at different tongue heights
- Dealers and fleets standardizing on one frame across many trailers
- Anyone swapping between bumper-pull and pintle-ring trailers regularly
- Off-road and overland folks hitching up to all kinds of trailers
- Owners who want one frame to cover every scenario
XR Extended Range vs Fixed-Frame Air Hitches
The XR follows a different philosophy than a fixed hitch. Here is when it wins and when a fixed-frame line is the smarter buy.
XR Extended Range (modular)
Wider drop and rise in a single frame, a lower starting price (frame-only SKUs from under $300), and attachments that swap in seconds. This is the pick if you run multiple trailers, fight odd height mismatches, or just want the flexibility to change your mind later.
Original Shocker, HD Max Black, or HD line (fixed-frame)
Standard drop range of about 6 to 7 inches, shipped as a complete hitch with the attachment picked at purchase. It is the simpler call when you run one trailer at a known tongue height and do not need extreme adjustability.
The LEGO Model: Buy Once, Swap Forever
The XR is the only bumper-pull line in the Shocker catalog built around a true base-plus-attachment design. The frame stays in your truck. The attachments live in the toolbox or the garage. When you go from boat trailer to dump trailer to pintle-ring overland trailer, you swap the attachment in under a minute and skip re-buying a whole hitch every time. Over years of mixed-trailer ownership, that saves real money and real garage space.
Heavy-Duty Steel, Black Powder Coat
Heavy-gauge steel chassis under a tough black powder coat that shrugs off weather and road grime. Inside is the same multi-ply, commercial-grade airbag used across the HD line. It is backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee and ships direct from our Canadian warehouse, so there is no customs delay or border wait. One thing to know: receiver size sets your maximum GTW. A 2-inch shank rates up to 12,000 lbs, a 2-1/2 inch up to 18,000 lbs, and a 3-inch up to 20,000 lbs.
