Shocker XR Adjustable Drop Pintle Hitch - Fits 2-1/2" Hitch, 5.5"Rise/10.5"Drop

The Shocker XR Extended Range is a purpose-built drop-hitch chassis for buyers who need extreme adjustability in both directions — up to 7-1/2 inches of rise and 7-1/2 inches of drop in one frame. Unlike fixed-frame air hitches, the XR is sold as a base plus interchangeable attachments — buy the chassis once, swap attachments as trailers change.

This XR Pintle Hitch is rated up to 16,000 lbs GTW with 7.5" Rise to 7.5" Drop and fits receivers.

Drop AND Rise in One Frame: Most drop hitches give you a few inches of drop or a few of rise, but not both. The XR frame is engineered with adjustment holes spanning the full range — up to 7-1/2 inches of rise on one end, up to 7-1/2 inches of drop on the other. Flip and pin to land anywhere in between.

Air Ride Across the Whole Range: The same multi-ply airbag used in the HD line lives inside the XR chassis. You get smooth, tunable suspension at any drop or rise setting — not the harsh ride of a typical solid drop hitch.

Base + Attachment LEGO Model: Buy the XR base frame once. Add the attachment you need today — ball mount, pintle hook, clevis, drawbar, combo ball. Switch attachments as your trailers change. Lower total cost than buying a complete hitch for every scenario.

Two Frame Variants: The 8-hole frame covers most lifted trucks and standard low-tongue trailers. The 10-hole frame extends the range further for extreme setups. Both share the same attachment ecosystem.

If your hitch needs change every season — different trailers, different trucks, different loads — the XR is engineered for you.

Owners of lifted trucks needing more than 6 inches of drop

owners who want one frame to cover every scenario

The XR is a different product philosophy. Here is when it wins and when a fixed-frame line is the better choice.

XR Extended Range (modular): Wider drop AND rise in one frame. Lower starting price (entry SKUs from under $300 for frame-only). Modular attachments swap in seconds. Best for buyers with multiple trailers, unusual height mismatches, or anyone who wants long-term flexibility.

Original Shocker, HD Max Black, or HD line (fixed-frame): Standard drop range (about 6–7 inches). Ships as a complete hitch with the attachment selected at purchase. Slightly easier to specify if you only have one trailer. Best for buyers with a single trailer at a known tongue height who do not need extreme adjustability.

The XR is the only bumper-pull line in the Shocker catalog designed around a true base-plus-attachment architecture. The frame stays in your truck. The attachments live in the toolbox or the garage.

When you switch from boat trailer to dump trailer to pintle-ring overland trailer, you swap the attachment in under a minute — no re-buying a complete hitch every time. Over years of mixed-trailer ownership, this saves real money and real garage space.

Heavy-gauge steel chassis with a durable black powder coat finish. The airbag is the same multi-ply commercial-grade unit used across the HD line. Backed by Shocker's 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Ships direct from our Canadian warehouse — no customs delay.

Note: receiver size determines maximum GTW capacity — 2-inch shanks rate up to 12,000 lbs, 2-1/2 inch up to 18,000 lbs, 3-inch up to 20,000 lbs.

Can be flipped around for more drop or rise. This pintle hook fits 6″ OD x 3″ ID pintle rings.

Used on farm applications, contractor equipment trailers, around the farm, overlanding and off-road trailers.

Comes in handy to get your connection level if you are pulling various trailers with various towing vehicles.

New Pintle Mount can be unbolted flipped around for more drop or rise.

8 or 10 adjustment holes that can be flipped around more drop or rise. Depends on hitch size selected.

20,000 lbs GTW for 3″ hitch, 16,000 lbs GTW for 2-1/2″ and 12,000 lbs GTW for 2″. Tongue weight is 10% of GTW.

Choose the ball mount that works best for you. We have dual ball, drop, raised, pintle hooks, combo multi-ball, clevis pin, dual ball with sway bar tabs, cushioned drawbar, drawbar and more. Combo balls are 2″ & 2-5/16″ welded design for maximum strength. Combo gives you 4″ of rise to 4″ of drop. Premium silver powder coat finish.

2 hitch pin holes to adjust the length and there is plenty of room on the receiver shank to accommodate hitch mounted towing mud flaps or quick clip rear tow flaps.

The longer shank with 2 hitch pin holes is great for hitch mounted towing mud flaps.

Available for 2″, 2-1/2″ and 3″ receiver hitches.

Includes everything you need, the adjustable Shocker XR series base frame hitch assembly, adjustable 10-ton pintle hook & 2 d-handle ball mount pins with clips.

The Shocker Hitch is a heavy-duty unit that in most cases exceeds factory towing weight capacities, therefore it is imperative that you always read and follow the tongue and towing weight recommendations of the truck that is mounted on, the trailer coupler rating and the ratings of the trailer you are towing.
