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.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.
The part I ordered arrived quickly. Packaging was excellent. I have not installed the part yet, but I believe it will perform as expected.

Great fast delivery and your description and how to videos are the best for the DIY people. The 30 lb gas shock was for a replacement on my RV entry door. It had a 20 lb force shock but when the door was open and if the wind was blowing hard it would blow the door half way shut and then the door would slam back open which then would pull hard on the mount bracket and eventually it would pull the rivets out that was holding it on.

The shocks and new hinges I’d ordered earlier were the answer to getting my 1999 Yakima Rocket Box back into service. The hinges were an exact fit.

I was extremely happy with my experience with eTrailer, especially the customer service. I had to return my first order because of my own mistake and while it did take a while to get someone on the phone, they were extremely helpful. Both orders arrived sooner than expected. The gas springs were for a engine hatch on a boat. It took like 5 minutes to install them and they are working like a charm. If you have a heavier hatch you might consider stiffer springs than the 20 lb ones. I would definitely order from this company again.

Just what I needed. Now the windshield on my Kawaski Mule will once again stay up when I need to access to the front storage compartment without having to have someone hold it up.

Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
The strut was packaged well and fit right on. The assist worked well as it's lifting a large steel hood on a piece of airport equipment. I can't give it a 5 star as we'll have to see how long it lasts, but I'm happy with the purchase thus far.
