Typically the existing shock is a good way to determine what is needed for replacement; the weight of the door being held, the length of the shock and the angle they're installed at all have effect on the force required to close the door. In most cases there's a spec sticker with the pressure on the shock; if you've got a 40-lbs shock you may need something like the Gas Shock - 40 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-5300-40.

If you can provide us with a part number or information from the spec sticker on your existing shock, or any identifying information I can help you locate a shock that would work.

The MORyde Rubber Equalizer #MR87ZR could absolutely be used on an enclosed trailer. The 8K rating would be per axle. It might be more accurate to say that these equalizers can be used on axles 8K and under. So if your trailer is 10K gross weight, a…
