Video Transcript for Review of Yakima Trailers - Watersport Carriers - Heavy Duty Shock Upgrade - Y08110
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer. It is for a quantity of two shocks. Now, this pair of heavy duty shocks will upgrade the factory shocks on your 78 inch Rack and Roll Trailer, which we sell separately on our website. That trailer part number is Y08107.
Basically, these shocks will increase the weight capacity by a hundred pounds. The factory shocks have a 250 pound capacity. These will raise it to a maximum load capacity of 350 pounds. And it is required, these should be used if you're hauling more than 200 pounds on the trailer. Now, these will also work on the smaller 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer, which is part number Y08106.
But you do need to add the 78 inch Cross Member Kit, which is part number Y08111. Now, this will give you four inches of vertical movement to cushion and protect your cargo. And as we mentioned, it is for a quantity of two shocks. Application, again, it's for the 78 inch Rock and Roll Trailer. And the trailer capacity after adding these is 350 pounds.
And the last thing to give you is the measurement from the center eye. The center eye is gonna be 12 and seven eights inches. But that should do it for the review on the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rock and Roll Trailer.

We upgraded to the heavy duty shocks when we bought our Rack and Roll 78 ten years ago. What we failed to do was proactively replace them along the way. When one broke on a recent trip it dropped the load onto the tire and chaos ensued. We replaced them with a new set from etrailer and notice a bit of a design change. Installation was a breeze. Many thanks to etrailer for having the parts and their fast service.

Shocks held up well given 7000 mile road trip to Alaska but did incur damage due to their exposure to road debris and rock chips. Trailer scaled at 400#’s.
by: Frank 01/16/2024
In addition to my wildy a.t.a.k. kayak, along side it, I mounted a large rectangular rod box (it’s a Yakima, I don’t recall the exact model name but they only build one thing in this class). That gets loaded with 4-8 rods, some med and small boxes, kayak anchor, etc so I was worried about the factory standard jobs being up to snuff, particularly if I had to drag the trailer thru some interesting terrain. The HD shocks have held up well with zero problems to date. Very pleased
by: Gregg01/21/2023
Easy order, fair price, quick delivery. Slight damage to exterior carton, but not a mark on the shocks. Very pleased.
by: Lauren 11/12/2023
Arrived well-packed and quickly once available. They were super easy to install, and have enhanced our trailer's load capacity and ride. Highly recommend. NOTE: There were supply issues for these and other Yakima parts that were out of eTrailer's control, resulting in a very long wait time, but their staff were very responsive and attentive to the problem, following up multiple times with periodic updates on their expected arrival - thanks!!

Installing the heavy duty shocks onto the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer was so fast and simple. The included instructions tell you to remove the wheels but that is totally unnecessary. After removing the bottom shock pin just use a piece of wood or a cardboard box to hold the wheel and it’s axel up and out of the way to allow you to get an open box end wrench on the head of the top mounting pin of the shock. It is located in the fender well. Using this approach, both new shocks can be mounted in about 20 minutes total. Tip, do one side at a time so you can always look at the other side for reference if needed.
Shipment and delivery was fast and per their estimate.
by: Patrick 07/15/2022
Super fast shipping! The heavy duty yakima shocks are worth the investment. I used them to carry 2 18ft kayaks and 4 bikes fork down with tire carriers. The kayaks had all the gear stowed inside, like the rescue equipment, life jackets, paddles etc and some bike equipment like helmet, shoes, tools. The extra weight was worth the shock investment, no kicks from the trailer just smooth ride over bumps. Also, the trailer is worth the investment since it significantly reduces drag and increases gas mileage.
by: Dianne w03/31/2015
Shocks were exactly as ordered and shopping was very prompt! Customer service is excellent! I had to return 1 box of shocks only because of my mistake in not realizing there were 2 in a box, but etrailer was very gracious in processing the return. I would totally buy from them again!
by: Arthur05/28/2019
I got Lots of boxes with items well packed . Assembly - take your time - manual is good and answers each step well. Parts are high quality and finished build is very satisfying. After I use it for a while I can say more.
I talked to several long term owners and both said No problems and satisfied.

I have not installed yet but the customer service at etrialer is always excellent! Only had one small issue and it was handled very quickly and professionally. I will use them when ever I can. Thank you!

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Accessories and Parts
- Are the Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks for Rack n Roll Trailers AdjustableThe Yakima Rack n Roll trailer shocks # Y08110 have 4 inches of vertical adjustability. To adjust them you will need to turn the bottom-most orange piece. There are several notches and turning the orange part clockwise makes them longer. I have included a picture pointing out this orange piece for you.
view full answer... - Removing Bushing to Install Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll TrailerI checked with Yakima and they told me to have to have you clean and lubricate the bushing and then try to pull it off with a pair of pliers. Force isn’t an issue because if they can’t get the bushing off we will need to replace the trailer side rail.

- What Tool Is Needed To Adjust Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 For a Yakima Rack & Roll Trailer?You are correct that the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer should be adjusted using a spanner wrench. While we do not carry this tool you should be able to find it at a local motorcycle parts store. The tools found at automotive stores are typically going to be larger than what you will need. A 38-42mm spanner wench is the size you will need.
view full answer... - When Should the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rack N Roll Trailer Be AdjsutedYou'd only need to adjust the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 if you're hauling a heavy load that is causing your shocks to bottom out. These shocks have 4" vertical adjustability to combat that, so you'd need to adjust according to your load.
view full answer... - What is the Eye to Eye Length on the Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks for Rack and Roll TrailersI went out to the warehouse and pulled Yakima shock for Rack and Roll trailers # Y08110 to measure it. From the center of one eye to the center of the other is approximately 12-7/8 inches.

- Does Oil Around Shocks of Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Indicate They Have FailedYour current shocks are leaking fluid which is a sign they have failed. The oil inside the shock which provides the dampening is most likely gone to point the shock is no longer functioning and the suspension is really bouncy. The HD shock kit part # Y08110 would replace what you have now and will allow the suspension to work like it needs to. It would not be rated too high for the 100-200 lb you'll have on your trailer.

- Are the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Crossbars Plastic or MetalThe Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08106 uses metal crossbars. Plastic bars would not be able to handle the 250 pound capacity the trailer is rated for. Please note to reach the 250 pound capacity it is recommended to upgrade the trailer with heavy duty shocks, # Y08110.
view full answer... - Are the Standard Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Same Color as Yakima Heavy Duty ShocksYes, the standard shocks for your 78 inch Yakima Rack and roll # Y08107 are silver and blue whereas the heavy duty ones are yellow and blue like the part # Y08110 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Max Load Capacity of the Yakima Rack and Roll 78 Trailer Using Heavy Duty ShocksWith the 78 inch Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 will give you a 350 lb capacity. I confirmed this with Yakima.
view full answer... - Can 78" Crossbars be Used on the 66" Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106If you are already planning on needing more space than the 66" Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 can provide then I highly recommend going ahead and getting the 78" Rack and Roll # Y08107 instead. The 78" trailer is a whole foot wider than the 66" option so it can better handle the wider loads. If you were to add 78" crossbars to the 66" trailer the bars would stick out past the fenders and you are much more likely to tip the trailer that way. I reached out to my contact at Yakima...
view full answer... - Dimensions of the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, HD Shock Upgrades, and Tongue ExtensionsFrom the ground to the top of the crossbars when the the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106, is level, it measures 22 inches. The Heavy Duty Shocks, # Y08110, is using the terms shocks as an all encompassing term that covers the shock itself and the springs for greater capacity. If you were to use the 6 foot extension, # Y08109, it comes with a wiring harness routed through the extension. One end of it connects to the existing wiring on the trailer and the other end would then connect...
view full answer... - Will Heavy Duty Shocks Fit Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer 66" TrailerAccording to Yakima, the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 should only be used if you add the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111. They didn't have an exact reason for this, but it sounds like the concern is people will attempt to overload the trailer if they only add the heavy duty shocks. The shocks alone won't increase the capacity of the # Y08106 which is 250 lbs with the standard or heavy duty shocks. We don't have any direct reports of customers using these on...
view full answer... - Can the Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks be Used on a 66 inch Yakima Rack and Roll TrailerYou can use the heavy duty shocks # Y08110 on a 66 inch rack and roll trailer part # Y08106, but the heavy duty shocks are not recommended to be used on the 66 inch trailer as-is. To use the HD shocks, the trailer needs to be upgraded to 78 inches with the # Y08111 kit.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers with Standard and HD ShocksThe weight capacity for the standard Yakima Rack and Roll trailer like part # Y08107 is 250 lbs when used with the standard shocks. If you go to the HD shocks like part # Y08110 you increase that capacity to 350 lbs. This is recommended if you plan to tow over 200 lb.
view full answer... - Can Heavy Duty Shocks be Put on the 66 Inch Rack and Roll TrailerThe heavy duty Rack and Roll shocks, part # Y08110, can only be used on 66 inch Rack and Roll if you upgrade it with the 78 inch crossmember kit. The crossmember kit is part # Y08111. The 66 inch trailer is rated up to 250 pounds so as long as you're under that capacity there really isn't a need to upgrade it. It would just give you some peace of mind.
view full answer... - How Long Do the Wheel Bearings Last in the Yakima Rack and Roll TrailerSince we have started carrying the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08107 I have not heard any complaints regarding the wheel bearings failing and only a few instances where people wanted to replace the wheel assembly. If you need to replace your bearings you'll need to source them since Yakima doesn't carry any and we don't carry the proper size bearings that fit. Should a wheel ever need to be replaced it is # Y08121. The trailer has a 250 pound capacity but that can be increased to...
view full answer... - Are The Heavy Duty Shocks And The 66 Inch Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Compatible?I reached out to my contact at Yakima and they confirmed that the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 will fit on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66 inch # Y08106. However the 66 inch trailer is not able to carry more than 250 lbs unless you add the 78 inch crossmember kit # Y08111 which will allow you to carry up to 350 lbs. The 66 inch crossmember limits that trailer to 250 lbs.

It is the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum item # INA389. This rack has a 50 lbs weight capacity and fits a crossbar spread of 20" - 34". Your Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer item # Y08107 only has a 250 lbs weight capacity that gets upgraded to 350 lbs when you install the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - Qty 2 item # Y08110.

view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Trailer For Carrying 5 Kayaks With a 2020 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedI recommend using the Yakima Kayak Trailer for 5 Kayaks # Y24TR to transport your kayaks with your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The trailer will give you the ability to easily load and unload the kayaks from a manageable height. You will be able to carry up to 5 kayaks for a total weight of 250lbs(each kayak must not exceed 80lbs) or you can add the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 to increase capacity to 350lbs. The Kickstand for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08115 will keep the front of...
view full answer... - Maximum Speed When Using a 66 Inch Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106The Rack and Roll trailers, like the 66 inch long model # Y08106, are rated to tow at normal highway speeds. As always, exceeding posted speed limits is not recommended, especially when towing. You may want to consider a spare tire # Y08121 for the trailer, which includes a mounting kit to attach it to the frame. We also offer a kickstand, part # Y08115, for easier storage of the trailer. It may be a good idea to change out the factory shocks with a set of the Yakima replacement...
view full answer... - Using Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks on Rack and Roll 66 Inch TrailerI also confirmed with my contact at Yakima that the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 are not recommended for the 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106. The shocks should only be used to upgrade the 78 inch trailer # Y08107. In order to use the Heavy Duty Shocks, the trailer will need to be upgraded to a 78 inch trailer by using the 78 Inch Crossmember Kit for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08111. This kit comes with the crossmembers and crossbars needed to upgrade a 66 inch trailer to a 78...
view full answer... - What Makes the Yakima Rack and Roll Different From the Malone MicroSport TrailersThe Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 is designed primarily for lighter loads such as watersport accessories and cargo. These lighter loads require a more sophisticated suspension i.e. coilovers in order to ride smoothly. If you just need to carry more weight and don't mind a rougher ride then you can go with the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G which has an 800 lbs weight capacity and utilizes a less sophisticated leaf spring suspension system that can carry more yes but...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer for Two Titan Propel 12 KayaksThe best trailer we offer for your two Titan Propel 12 Kayaks is the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 paired with the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08110. The reason that I recommend the Rack and Roll is because of the fully independent, adjustable suspension which is going to provide a much better ride quality with less bounce when compared to the traditional leaf spring suspension system like on the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer. That said, if you...

These trailers have a 250-lb weight carrying capacity unless you have the 78-inch version # Y08107 and you add the heavy-duty shocks # Y08110, in which case weight capacity increases to 300-lbs. The Exo carrier's capacity is determined by your rack. It can handle the Pro Angler's weight even though the trailer may not. A fully...

Installation was straightforward, no problem removing the old shocks. Seem to ride about the same with two 14 kayaks. Rarely carry any load approaching 300-350 lbs, but nice to know I could. First standard shocks lasted over 10 seasons, these should outlast me.
