Specs:
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.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at this JR Products 20" long gas shock. Now this is a nice, quick and easy replacement for any worn or broken gas shock that you might have. This will replace a gas shock on multiple applications, like on your RV or trailer doors, storage compartment doors, truck bed covers, or even fold down camper beds. This shock is designed with a nice high quality black nitride shaft and includes the plastic ends on each end with the locking clips to secure it to the mounting ball.
This is designed to connect to a 10mm size mounting ball, and it installs easily in minutes, no special tools required. Wanted to zoom in just to show you the ends. You can see there's where the ball sock will slip onto the ball. And on top is this clip.The way you install it, what you'll do is take a little small tip screwdriver, slide it under this clip, and then just pry that clip up. You don't have to remove the clip all the way, just pry it up enough to relieve the pressure, and then install that over your 10mm ball.
Once it's over the ball, then just push that clip all the way back down. It'll clip into place, and it secures that end to the ball. And you'll do the same on the other end. It's the same way. Now, when you do install this, you do want the inner rod right here facing down, and it's also recommended to replace these gas shocks in pairs.
Now the extended length, which would be measured from the center of this ball hole to the center of this one, on this one center to center is right at 20". The compressed length, if it's all the way compressed would be 11.41". And the output force on the shock is 150 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the JR Products 20" long gas shock.

JR Products gas shock replaces 1 worn or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage doors. Durable black-nitride finished gas shock measures 11.41" compressed, 20" extended, and has 150 lbs of force.Product is installed but instructions were a bit vague and difficult to implement(related to the removal of previous gas shock bar).
It was just what l needed to hold up bed storage work great
Great staff and knowledgeable about evey product I’ve purchased
The part I ordered arrived quickly. Packaging was excellent. I have not installed the part yet, but I believe it will perform as expected.
It's the correct size and shape, but it will not collapse. I emailed earlier and got no response.
They came on time as stated. The product look good but I haven't had time to install them yet.
Very helpful and professional.
I was able to use one of these 150lb shocks to replace two 60lb shocks on my motorhome bay doors.
The shocks arrived quickly and are very good quality

Still going strong!
Bought this as a replacement for our boat's engine compartment lid. Before it was difficult to lift, now it is much easier. This was an exact fit and easy to install.
Product shipped in a timely manner and works just great! Would recommend etrailer and would use them again.
Just as described.
Accurate description & fast delivery
Great shocks. Just as i expected.
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
