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 11.30" compressed, 20" extended, and has 60 lbs of force.

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.

Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this gas shock. This shock is going to replace a worn out or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage door to make sure that those doors are functioning properly, again, making it easier for you to open and harder for it to slam shut, causing injury or anything like that. So this is going to have an overall length right about 20 inches when we measure from the center of one eye opening to the center of the other. It's right about 20 inches.
When it's compressed, it's going to go down to about 11 5/16 of an inch, so will be quite a bit shorter for you, but will compress.It's got a force of 60 pounds. So when we compress it, it will take up to 60 pounds to make sure that it will compress. This is a black nitride shock, so it's going to do a good job for you. The eye holes on each end are right at 5/16 of an inch, so it should work with your current hardware to get this installed and make sure that your doors are operating the way they should. So that's going to complete our look for today.
Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

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 11.30" compressed, 20" extended, and has 60 lbs of force.I don't know that the item is excellent. The gas shock has a simple job and I assume that it will do it. (haven't installed it yet) I've been very happy with etrailer in the past, and I assume that will continue. So, the item itself gets 3 stars (average). etrailer gets 5 stars (excellent). :-)
I didn't order the attaching hardware because I didn't know what they are called! I'm new at RV'ing.
Very weak didn’t work for my application
Fabulous customer service. The item was on back order and they kept in contact to update me. I was shocked at how responsive the company was.
Great customer service!
WE saved a bit of money instead of buying from a hot tub company for our lid lift. Extremely quick shipping.

oh, no, and blank review! If you would like to add any comments, I am all ears.
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 !!
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.
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.
Product is installed but instructions were a bit vague and difficult to implement(related to the removal of previous gas shock bar).
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.
Thanks, now my tool box won't cut my arm off.
product works well, shipping took a little longer than I expected
Very fast delivery! I've ordered from e-trailer several times and service has always been great!
These work great for toolbox lid
Price is right and product fit and functioned well for my application on a Leer truck topper rear glass door
Works great haven't had any problems with it, would buy again if I ever needed it
This fit my 05 Bigfoot 9.6 camper door with about 3/8 compression left. This is the shock you want. It has a slow open feature and does not slam the door open possibly risking tearing the mounts off. So no worries about people who just open the door and head out. We used to have to coax the door open. Not you can let go of it. Love this shock!!
Exactly what I needed delivered in a timely manner
The Stabilus shock holding the 22" door of our bumper pull trailer open was weak. Mild wind would push it shut. This shock fit right onto the existing ball joints. A small blade screwdriver pried the "c" clip back, allowing me to slip the socket over the ball, and the clip snapped into place. Maybe 30 seconds and the shock was installed.
The biggest challenge was determining what force I needed in the replacement. The existing shock had the model information scraped away where it rubbed on the door threshold. No where could I find on the etrailer site what force a small door shock should be. I ended up chatting with an RV service tech I know, who looked it up in his parts catalog. Turns out 10 lb force is standard except for large RV doors. I would suggest etrailer.com add this information on their online catalog. Maybe it's there and I couldn’t' find it? "Gas shock force needed for RV doors."
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
fit and worked great
