Video Transcript for Lippert Components Trailer Suspension LC283280 Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at a Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Gas-Filled Replacement Shock. This heavy duty replacement shock instantly improves your ride. It is available in complete bolt-on kits as well. Now the replacement shock is going to help absorb road shock and vibration for a more comfortable towing experience. One shock per package. It's going to come with the nuts, washers, and rubber grommets necessary for the installation of the replacement shock.
It's going to have that really nice yellow enamel finish that's going to do great job at preventing rust and corrosion and lasting a long time. Now a few measurements to go over with you real quick. When it's compressed, from edge to edge, so basically measuring from the bottom of this washer to the same point on the other side, compressed length is 8.625 inches. When it's extended, and if you do that same measurement, the extended length on this particular shock is 13.5 inches long. Now when you're making your replacement, one end of the shock is going to install into the shock mounting lip on the tie plate. The other end fits into the upper mounting bracket, which is attached to the trailer frame.
Once installed, this unit really does help improve the ride of the trailer. It's going to offer better managed spring movement. It even has the potential to reduce tire wear. The number engraved on the unit is located right here, is 177734. That's going to do it for today's look at the Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Gas-Filled Replacement Shock.

Replaces a heavy-duty shock to improve your ride.by: Brant01/10/2024
Bolts are great quality and nicely made. I hope they hold up much better than stock. It would serve etrailer well in the future to wrap each bolt in bubble wrap. A few in the box arrived with messed up threads. So yeah, that was a bummer. I will have to try and fix the threads if at all possible. Rather than that It will be fun to install it all next month.
by: Norman 11/18/2023
With these great it sure helps. I don't understand why the factory never did it. I feel better just knowing I have a better ride easy installation
by: Joe07/02/2022
5 stars because they showed up on time and in one piece.
Opened each one and all the pieces we’re with each shock. One shock was a return had felt marker on it. But was never installed. Will update once installed and operational. Looking forward too trying them out and reviewing again after camping.
by: Robert08/15/2023
2016 Stryker 2912 toyhauler. Installation went smoothly. Had read reviews for other brands saying they had trouble getting grease into some of the bolts, zero problems with these. I pre-greased them through the zerks, then again after installation-no issues, shackles are beefy. Nice kit.
by: James08/06/2022
After checking with etrailer to check fit the shocks arrived quickly. Two hours to install, start to finish. After a short test drive, I’d say the trailer is more stable and less porpoising. I’ve always had very good service from etrailer.
by: Kevin 02/29/2024
arrived quickly and great quality fit and finish.
by: Rick10/07/2022
Shipping was very fast and the rep was really helpful making sure I was ordering the correct items.
Replacement was easier than I feared, it took less than an hour for all four.
by: Donald 08/31/2022
Shocks came in a timely manner. I had someone else install them on trailer. Did not take them too long to install. Install was a little longer as they had to adjust the leaf springs on the trailer to make sure shock was in correctly to give the best ride possible. Did notice a difference when towing RV. Only towed a short distance so when we take a longer trip we will have a better indication at that time. Will provide an update after we take a longer trip.
by: John 07/13/2023
They work great.
by: Greg S.07/23/2016
I'm a full timerry in my travel trailer and needed to relplace 4 of the 6 shocks in addition to a set of leaf springs. The shocks are exact replacements and have done great.
by: Sal C05/29/2021
The shocks arrived on time and packaged very well. I've ordered from etrailer many times, and found them to carry items that can not be found elsewhere. However in this case, after ordering, my wife found the shocks online for a lower price. I called etrailer and spoke with Michelle about the low price pledge. The order was adjusted with no problems. Thank you Michelle !!!

Always a pleasure doing business with the TEAM @ etrailer.

Perfect on my 27 ft 5th wheel

Curt, I am glad we were able to help! You will simply need to compress the shock until the rubber grommet expands to match the size of the washer.
by: Kirby03/05/2023
Thanks Eric for going above and beyond to help me get the parts that I needed. It was great service.
by: Richard B08/13/2022
The shocks are made in China,so it will be interesting how long they last.I would think lippet could resource them from a USA company.

Lightning fast delivery...opted out of UPS hand off to usps, cost a little more, but saved $ because UPS isn't the screw up...thank you etrailer for great product and service, a pleasure voting for you again! Thanx Roger
by: Keith01/28/2021
Would’ve been five had there not been missing hardware in three of the four items (likely an assembly line issue, not an etrailer issue). Quickly and quite pleasantly resolved as best as possible an 800 call to Molly, and overall happy with the experience. Original pkg showed up a day earlier than expected.
by: Luther 09/08/2022
Great replacement.

Good quality shock for my 5th wheel

Great service as always. Etrailer always ships and delivers fast. They go out of their way to make sure you get the right product.

I am very disappointed in the quality of these shock. The shocks are very weak and I hope to return them as soon as possible.

- Which Direction Do You Mount the Shocks In a Lippert Bolt On Shock KitWhen installing a shock kit like the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Axle # LC281281 or using the # LC283280 you will want to install the shock so the lower connection to the axle U-bolt plate happens closest to the equalizer as shown in the directions diagram. Part of the reason for the orientation of this particular kit is because of the brackets, which might explain the differences that you're seeing in orientation; it's possible that...

- Compressed Length of Lippert Shock and Where it is MeasuredWe have shock # LC283280 but its compressed length is 8-5/8 inches. We are measuring that from inside washer to inside washer though so if you are measuring differently it is possible that this shock will work. I have linked a video of this shock for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Shocks for a 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS 5th Wheel The best shocks for your 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS 5th Wheel are going to be the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # RM-2460. This system has nitrogen-charged shock absorbers that help to eliminate trailer bouncing, chucking, and proposing. This system fits 3" diameter 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs axles. You should verify your axle diameter before purchasing. The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock item # LC283280 you were looking at will only fit your...
view full answer... - Replacement Shocks For 2004 Thor Wanderer Wagon 5th Wheel Toy HaulerThe Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 is for axles rated between 3,500-lbs to 7,000-lbs. It measures 8-5/8" when compressed and 13-1/2" when extended. As long as this meets the specs on your current setup then it will work for you. If you need the brackets too then you may want to just go with Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Axle # LC281281 which includes 2 shocks and the supporting hardware/brackets for 3" axles. I...
view full answer... - Shock Kit Recommendation for 2020 Jayco 317RLOKThe Lippert shock part # LC283280 fits the shock prep of your 2020 Jayco 37RLOK and will make a huge difference improving the ride quality so it would be the way to go. This is an individual shock so you would need to order two per axle.
view full answer... - What is the Threaded Shaft Diameter on Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280The shaft diameter on Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 is 3/8-inch and the thread pitch is 24 TPI, according to my contact at Lippert Components.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Shock Absorber for 2004 Jayco Designer 31RLSLippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 are what you will need as replacement shocks. They are 8.625 inches completely compressed and 13.5 inches completely extended so under weight they likely will be right at your 11 inch measurement. If you need replacement brackets, you can use the kit # LC281281.

- What is the Weight Capacity of the Lippert Components Replacement Shock?I reached out to my tech contact at Lippert and the Standard Replacement Shock - Black # LC283271 doesn't have a rated capacity but is designed only for use on 2-3/8 inch diameter axles. That axle size is the 3,500 lb axle, so seeing as they are designed for 2 shocks per axle, the closest I can give you to a capacity is approximately 1,750 lbs but shocks aren't weight bearing so that is why they aren't rated for a capacity. Any axle above the 3,500 lbs would require the Lippert Components...
view full answer... - Measuring to Determine the Right Size Shock to Use on a TrailerIf you are looking to add shocks then measure using the following procedure: Compress the shock all the way (A) then mark the inner leg where the outer leg stops. Then release compression and measure the stroke (how far the shock moves) (B). Then measure the half way point of the stroke (C). Then you measure the shock length with it compressed to the half way point (Fig. 4A). The measurement cannot exceed the fully extended or compressed lengths. Add 2 inches to that last measurement....

- Replacement Shocks for 2014 Prime Time Sanibel 3600 5th Wheel TrailerFrom what I have found, it looks like you have tandem 7,000 lb axles on your 2014 Prime Time Sanibel 3600. Assuming that is the case, we have two different replacement shocks available for two different systems. If you have the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281281, then the correct replacement shock is the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280. If you have the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers # RM-2460, then the correct...
view full answer... - Picking Out Replacement Shock for 2003 Hitchhiker II TrailerWe don't have a way to look up what the shock specs of your 2003 Hitchhiker II are but it's possible we have a replacement solution. If you can take your current shocks off and the compressed length is 8-5/8 inch and extended is 13-1/2 inch then the part # LC283280 would work as a replacement. These are very common shock dimensions so there's a good chance this is the correct replacement you'd need.
view full answer... - Is Lippert Components Replacement Shock Available?We have exactly what you need with the Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280. For the complete kit we also have the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit w/Heavy Duty Oil Shocks # LC281255 which fits 2-3/8" axle tubes. I've added links to video reviews of both parts for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement Shock for 2004 Keystone Montana Big Sky 5th Wheel TrailerYour Montana 5th wheel trailer will likely use the Lippert Components Standard Replacement Shock - Black Item # LC283271. But to be sure you can remove a shock from the trailer and measure its compressed and extended lengths to determine if it is a match. The replacement has a 7.5" Compressed length; 12" extended length. If your shocks have a 8.625" compressed length; 13.5" extended length then you would need replacement heavy duty shock # LC283280. I have linked videos of both shocks...
view full answer... - Replacement Shocks For a 2008 Forest River Rockwood 232XR Pop Up Toy HaulerFirst you are going to want to try and determine which shocks you currently have. The Standard Shock # LC283271 is 7-1/2" compressed and 12" extended while the Heavy Duty Shock # LC283280 is 8-5/8" compressed and 13-1/2" extended. If neither of these match the dimensions of your shocks you can try and contact Forest River to see if they can tell you what they used on your 2008 Rockwood 232XR or I would go with the Heavy Duty Kit # LC281255 since it sees a lot of unpaved driving.

You will need 4 of the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shocks # LC283280 to mount to your travel trailer.
view full answer... - Recommended Shocks For A 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 280RSOK Travel TrailerThough The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 will only work if it has the factory shock prep, but I would recommend The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # RM-2460 which is made in the USA. This kit is designed, engineered and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington. This kit is designed to fit a 3 inch diameter axle and when doing research on your trailer the size of your axle on your 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 280RSOK Travel Trailer is 3 inches....
view full answer... - Shocks For a 2021 Heartland Fuel 250 Travel Trailer Toy HaulerIt appears the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 is the correct shock for your 2021 Heartland Fuel 250 travel trailer toy hauler. This shock is rated for trailer axles that are rated from 3,500lbs to 7,000lbs. Your Fuel has 5,200lb axles which fall into that range. The shock has a 8-5/8" compressed length and 13-1/2" extended length. Your mounting brackets should sit between these measurements with the trailer level. Ideally you should see about 11" but it can vary based on...
view full answer... - Shocks for 2021 Jayco Eagle HT With Factory Shock PrepYou are correct, your 2021 Jayco Eagle HT does not need the full kit # LC281281. All you need to add shocks to your trailer is the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280. This is a single shock so you will need to order a quantity of 4. They come with everything you need to install the shocks on your factory brackets.
view full answer... - Installation of Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock LC283280Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 has a nut on each end for securing the shock to the mounts on your trailer suspension. These should be tightened against the outside washers enough to secure the shock to the mounts but not so much that you compress the rubber grommets. It sounds like you might be asking if you could add a second nut inboard of the inside washers to extend the length between the mounting points. Lippert does not recommend this, according to my...

- Shock Kit Recommendation for a Jayco Eagle 317RLOKFrom what I can tell it looks like your Jayco Eagle 317RLOK has the leaf springs mounted on top of the axle so if that's the case then I recommend going with the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281281 (you need 1 kit per axle). As I 've read a lot of Eagle 317RLOK owners have installed this same kit and really love how it enhances the suspension performance. If your 5th wheel is already equipped with the shock mounts then you just need 4 of the Lippert Heavy-Duty...

The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 will be just over an inch longer when compressed, and 1-1/2" longer extended but is rated for 3500-7000lbs which would be much better suited for your trailer.

Basically, it has the mounts that come with the # LC281281 shock kit so you will need four of the # LC283280 shocks for your tandem axle fifth wheel.
view full answer... - Shock Absorber Availability for a 1972 Raider SnowmobileI can't find the length of the shock you are replacing, but we have a couple options that may work. The Lippert Components Standard Replacement Shock - Black # LC283271, has a 7.5 inch compressed length and a 12 inch extended length. The Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow, # LC283280, has a compressed length of 8.625 inches and an extended length of 13.5 inches. We also have some brake actuator shock absorbers like # T2336200 with a shorter length.
