Replacement Entry Door Strut/Gas Shock

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Forest River 24.5 ft. sunseeker RV. The gas shock that holds the entry door open is missing. I am looking at an item #372-5200-50 on your web site. However, I measured between the 2 attachment balls with the door open, and it looks like I would need a gas shock with a 20 to 21inch open length. Otherwise, the #372-5200-50 gas shock looks like just what I would need. Do you have a shock with that open length measurement?
