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.
Hook up a trailer that sits too high or too low and you feel it the whole way home. The nose rides off-level, the load chucks over every frost heave and hard stop, and that wear piles onto your truck, your trailer, and whatever you are hauling. The Shocker XR Extended Range is built to kill that problem in both directions, with up to 7-1/2 inches of rise on one end and up to 7-1/2 inches of drop on the other, all in one frame. Where a fixed hitch locks you into a single setup, the XR is 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 carries up to 20,000 lbs GTW with its 10-hole adjustment and slides straight into your receiver.

What Extended Range Means
Drop AND Rise in One Frame
Most drop hitches hand you a little drop or a little rise, and you live with whichever one you bought. The XR frame carries adjustment holes across the whole range, 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, pin it, and land level anywhere in between.
Air Ride Across the Whole Range
A solid steel drop hitch passes every bump straight through to your trailer and your cargo. The XR runs the same multi-ply airbag used in the HD line, so you get smooth, tunable suspension at any drop or rise setting instead of that hard, jarring ride.
Base Plus Attachment LEGO Model
Buy the XR base frame one time. Add the attachment you need right now, whether that is a ball mount, pintle hook, clevis, drawbar, or combo ball. When your trailers change, switch the attachment instead of the whole hitch. That works out cheaper than buying a complete hitch for every scenario.
Two Frame Variants
The 8-hole frame handles most lifted trucks and standard low-tongue trailers. The 10-hole frame reaches further for the extreme setups. Both run the same attachments, so your gear carries over either way.
Built For These Buyers
If your towing changes with the season, different trailers, different trucks, different loads, the XR is built for you.
- Lifted-truck owners who need more than 6 inches of drop to sit level
- Driveways with a boat, camper, and equipment trailer all at different tongue heights
- Dealers and fleets who want one frame standard across a yard full of trailers
- Anyone jumping between bumper-pull and pintle-ring trailers on the regular
- Off-road and overland rigs hitching to a wide variety of trailer types
- Owners who want one frame to cover every scenario
XR Extended Range vs Fixed-Frame Air Hitches
The XR takes a different approach. Here is when it wins and when a fixed-frame line is the smarter buy.
XR Extended Range (modular)
Wider drop and rise in one frame. Lower starting price, with frame-only SKUs from under $300. Attachments swap in seconds. Best if you run multiple trailers, fight unusual height mismatches, or just want flexibility for years down the road.
Original Shocker, HD Max Black, or HD line (fixed-frame)
Standard drop range, about 6 to 7 inches. Ships as a complete hitch with the attachment picked at purchase. A little easier to spec if you only own one trailer. Best when you have a single trailer at a known tongue height and do not need extreme adjustability.
The LEGO Model, Buy Once and 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 ride in the toolbox or hang in the garage. Go from boat trailer to dump trailer to pintle-ring overland trailer and you swap the attachment in under a minute, with no re-buying a complete hitch every time. Over years of mixed-trailer ownership, that saves you real money and real garage space.
Heavy-Duty Steel, Black Powder Coat
The chassis is heavy-gauge steel wearing a tough black powder coat that shrugs off weather and road grime. Inside sits 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 waiting at the border. One thing to know: your receiver size sets the max 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.
