Today, we're going to be taking a look at a Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Gas-Filled Replacement Shock. This heavy duty replacement shock instantly improves your ride. It is available in complete bolt-on kits as well. Now the replacement shock is going to help absorb road shock and vibration for a more comfortable towing experience. One shock per package. It's going to come with the nuts, washers, and rubber grommets necessary for the installation of the replacement shock.
It's going to have that really nice yellow enamel finish that's going to do great job at preventing rust and corrosion and lasting a long time. Now a few measurements to go over with you real quick. When it's compressed, from edge to edge, so basically measuring from the bottom of this washer to the same point on the other side, compressed length is 8.625 inches. When it's extended, and if you do that same measurement, the extended length on this particular shock is 13.5 inches long. Now when you're making your replacement, one end of the shock is going to install into the shock mounting lip on the tie plate. The other end fits into the upper mounting bracket, which is attached to the trailer frame.
Once installed, this unit really does help improve the ride of the trailer. It's going to offer better managed spring movement. It even has the potential to reduce tire wear. The number engraved on the unit is located right here, is 177734. That's going to do it for today's look at the Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Gas-Filled Replacement Shock.
eTrailer is great! Customer Service helped me find the correct part for my application. The price was right and shipping fast.
Bought these for our 5th wheel toy hauler. Lifted our trailer 2” and needed longer shocks. Our original shocks were blown also. Haven’t towed with it yet but the shocks look great. Had to cut off the tip of the shocks in order to fit them in place but other than that they fit perfect. Hopefully our towing experience matches the looks!
After checking with etrailer to check fit the shocks arrived quickly. Two hours to install, start to finish. After a short test drive, I’d say the trailer is more stable and less porpoising. I’ve always had very good service from etrailer.
Shipping was very fast and the rep was really helpful making sure I was ordering the correct items.
Replacement was easier than I feared, it took less than an hour for all four.
Bolts are great quality and nicely made. I hope they hold up much better than stock. It would serve etrailer well in the future to wrap each bolt in bubble wrap. A few in the box arrived with messed up threads. So yeah, that was a bummer. I will have to try and fix the threads if at all possible. Rather than that It will be fun to install it all next month.
Very Easy install! Kurt in sales was awesome and very helpful. He was what Customer Service should be!
With these great it sure helps. I don't understand why the factory never did it. I feel better just knowing I have a better ride easy installation
5 stars because they showed up on time and in one piece.
Opened each one and all the pieces we’re with each shock. One shock was a return had felt marker on it. But was never installed. Will update once installed and operational. Looking forward too trying them out and reviewing again after camping.
2016 Stryker 2912 toyhauler. Installation went smoothly. Had read reviews for other brands saying they had trouble getting grease into some of the bolts, zero problems with these. I pre-greased them through the zerks, then again after installation-no issues, shackles are beefy. Nice kit.
I'm a full timerry in my travel trailer and needed to relplace 4 of the 6 shocks in addition to a set of leaf springs. The shocks are exact replacements and have done great.
Shocks came in a timely manner. I had someone else install them on trailer. Did not take them too long to install. Install was a little longer as they had to adjust the leaf springs on the trailer to make sure shock was in correctly to give the best ride possible. Did notice a difference when towing RV. Only towed a short distance so when we take a longer trip we will have a better indication at that time. Will provide an update after we take a longer trip.
The shocks arrived on time and packaged very well. I've ordered from etrailer many times, and found them to carry items that can not be found elsewhere. However in this case, after ordering, my wife found the shocks online for a lower price. I called etrailer and spoke with Michelle about the low price pledge. The order was adjusted with no problems. Thank you Michelle !!!
Looks like a nice product installed easily could use some instruction for installation how far to compress bushings did call you guys and was helped very quickly got the answer I needed

Curt, I am glad we were able to help! You will simply need to compress the shock until the rubber grommet expands to match the size of the washer.
exact fit seem to be heavy duty very good paint finish

Perfect on my 27 ft 5th wheel
arrived quickly and great quality fit and finish.
Improved my 5th wheel camper towing experience. Lot less bouncing while passing through NYC.
Shock should be the perfect replacement for my 1998 HitchHiker ! 5th wheel
Lightning fast delivery...opted out of UPS hand off to usps, cost a little more, but saved $ because UPS isn't the screw up...thank you etrailer for great product and service, a pleasure voting for you again! Thanx Roger
Would’ve been five had there not been missing hardware in three of the four items (likely an assembly line issue, not an etrailer issue). Quickly and quite pleasantly resolved as best as possible an 800 call to Molly, and overall happy with the experience. Original pkg showed up a day earlier than expected.
have an older travel supreme 5th wheel. so far you guys have had everything I need to keep the ole' girl rolling and looking good. easy order process. super fast delivery. ah thank ya....thank ya very much
The shocks are made in China,so it will be interesting how long they last.I would think lippet could resource them from a USA company.
Great service as always. Etrailer always ships and delivers fast. They go out of their way to make sure you get the right product.
Great replacement.
Good quality shock for my 5th wheel
