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.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today. We're taking a look at this JR Products, 20 inch long gas shock. Now this is a quick and easy replacement for any worn or broken gas shock you may have. This will replace a gas shock on multiple applications like your RV or trailer doors, storage compartment doors, truck, bed covers, or fold down camper beds.It is designed with the nice high quality black nitride shaft includes the plastic ends with the locking clips to secure it to the mounting ball and the connection type one.
This is a 10 millimeter ball socket. It does easily install in minutes. There's no special tools required. Basically what I want to do is zoom in a little bit here, just so we can show you detail. Here's the ends of it.
And basically what you end up doing to get your old one off, you'll just slide a small flat tip screwdriver under the clip, pry that clip up and it'll release the pressure and you can pull it off the ball. And then when you go to install this one, just go ahead and pry that clip up. You don't have to pop the clip off, just pry it up enough to release the pressure in there, and then put that onto the ball, push your clip down and it'll attach just like that. And you'll do the same on the other end, just like that. Very simple installation.Now, when you do install this, they do want the inner rod facing down and then they also recommend to replace these gas shocks in pairs.
Now the extended length on this, it's extended like it is now from the center of the small socket to the center of this one is going to be right at 20 inches. That compressed length, if you would compress it, it would be 11.41 inches. And the output force on this gas shock is 10 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this Jr Products, 20 inch 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 10 lbs of force.
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!!
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."
It didn't fit the camper door swivel pin properly. Head of hinge too big so door wouldn't shut. Went back to Lakota Horse trailer and ordered the part. I don't believe you had stock that would have worked. Thanks for asking.
it was the perfect fit and the pressure was great so it does not throw open the door too fast.
Perfect fit for my door. Easy to install...it took only a couple of minutes.
