When replacing gas shock on your vehicle or RV, you will want to make sure you are buying a replacement with the exact same extended length, compressed length, and pounds of force. This information is usually printed on the shock. Lengths are measured from the center of the ball joint used for mounting. If you are planning on installing gas shocks on something for the first time, identifying the shock you need requires fairly complex initial calculations, so be sure to do your research to avoid purchasing a shock that will not fit your application.

Video Transcript for Review of JR Products RV Doors - 372-5100-40

Today we're going to take a look at the JR Products 12 inch long gas shock. Now this gas shock is designed to replace a worn or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage doors. The extended length on this, which is measured from the center of this ball socket to the center of this ball socket, it's going to be right at 12 inches. The compressed length would be if we completely compress this, then it would measure 7.91 inches. Output force on the shock is 40 pounds. And the connection type on this is a retaining clip on a 10 millimeter ball socket.I'm going to zoom in just to show you the detail of that, and basically if you'll notice, here's your ball socket that'll go onto a 10 millimeter ball and to install it on the top you can see this retaining clip, if you just slide a flat tip screwdriver up under that retaining clip, pry it up to release it, that'll release the pressure on that socket and then you're able to push this onto your 10 millimeter ball.

Once it's on there, just push that clip back down and it'll secure the shock in place. So very simple installation. Now the finish on this is a nice black nitride finish.But that should do it for the review on the JR Products 12 inch long gas shock..

The selection process was easy to follow. I needed gas struts with a greater lift capacity for our under bed storage due to the addition of a memory foam mattress. I was able to select a strut pair with the proper length and extension from the website. The struts were received quickly and were exactly what I needed. The bed now raises gently and remains elevated.



by:

Thanks for your email. I didn't get a notification that the product was delivered! (USPS failed to do so).
Received package as advertised and in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance with the order. Because it was delayed I was very impressed with etrailer keeping me informed of status during the waiting period.
Thank you etrailer! I'll be back when need you again.

The head that attached to the bottom door jamb was way to huge couldn't close the door I was able to switch the one from the old strut the thread size not the same I had to force it on most likely will pull off I ordered the 30 pound for my fifth wheel door if people ask the 20 pound model is the correct size but I chose the 30 pound my mistake



by:

After installing, the door wouldn’t close due to the end connections being too tall. I ended up swapping the old end connectors, which are just on threaded ends. Now working just fine. Jayco Greyhawk 2020 Class C.



by:

When my package arrived it was beat up and one of the clips on the end of the shock was missing,not what I would give a good report !!



by:

Defective Will not allow door to close. Stops about 4 inches before door closes. Took one of the end fittings off and repaired my old one. Length and pressure matched.



by:

Item was exactly as advertised, easy installation, fits perfectly on our RV door. Our previous gas shock was worn out & would not hold the door open. This product is sturdy & stable. It fixed the issue.



by:

Product was damaged and not received, but etrailer stepped up and sent another gas prop. More companies should have these work ethic’s. Good job



by:

This strut did not fit precisely due to the thickness of the end connectors. They are thicker than the original strut and since the strut has to fit between the bottom of the door and the threshold in the closed position it would not allow the door to close. I found that by exchanging the end connectors with the original strut I was able to install the strut and close the door. The only problem with this solution is that the new strut with the old connectors is slightly longer than the old strut/connector assembly and now allows the door to open slightly farther than before. Our awning arm just barely clears the door when opening and closing so will have to be very careful from now on when extending and retracting the awning. Our motorhome is a Sunseeker 3010ds model in case this is helpful to others ordering this product.



by:

Exactly what I needed for my Kwik Kamp motorcycle trailer! It's nice to share information in our group when we find parts to use for our discontinued campers.



by:

Product is installed but instructions were a bit vague and difficult to implement(related to the removal of previous gas shock bar).



by:

product works well, shipping took a little longer than I expected



by:

Very fast delivery! I've ordered from e-trailer several times and service has always been great!



by:

Thanks, now my tool box won't cut my arm off.



by:

Exactly what I ordered and needed, part is working good.



by:

Price is right and product fit and functioned well for my application on a Leer truck topper rear glass door
