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.

Today we're going to take a look at the JR Products 20" long gas shock. This gas shock is designed to replace a worn or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage doors. The extended length on this is 20", and that measurement is from the center of this ball socket to the center of this one. If we put a tape measure on that, there's your 20" length. The compressed length on this would be 11.41". Output force on this shock is 60 pounds.
The connection type is a retaining clip on a 10 millimeter ball socket.I just want to zoom in to show you how you would install this; it's pretty simple installation. If you look, here's your 10 millimeter ball socket right here, and if you turn it over on top, there's this retaining ring. What you'll do is take a flat tip screwdriver, insert it underneath that retaining ring, pry it open, and that'll release the pressure on that. Then you can put this onto your 10 millimeter ball, and then once it's on the ball, push that retaining clip down and it'll secure it in place, so it's very simple installation. This also is in a nice, black nitride finish.
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 60 lbs of force.Replaced out outdoor kitchen door and added theses to the setup and they worked great.
Product worked well; application simple.
Door shocks have great strength, I expected to replace both on my belly bay door. One was strong enough!
Wonderful service and QUICK standard sh ipping.
Product was very easy to install and the ordering process was fast and easy. It came right on time.
I found the part I needed on their easy to use web site. Ordering was pain free. I received confirmation emails. I received tracking information that was realistic. Overall excellent work and experience.
Replaced all 4 on 2000 Maxum 3300 scr.
Perfect fit
Super fast shipping
Just what I was looking for!
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."
Thanks for your email. I didn't get a notification that the product was delivered! (USPS failed to do so).
Received package as advertised and in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance with the order. Because it was delayed I was very impressed with etrailer keeping me informed of status during the waiting period.
Thank you etrailer! I'll be back when need you again.
Honestly, this is a 40lb gas shock. What more can you expect? I'm leaving this review for etrailer. Customer service is top notch, they notified me that this product was on backorder and offered to sub it out for a 20lb shock, but unfortunately for our application, a lighter shock would not work. They also contacted me when the shocks were delivered to make sure everything was good. That kind of customer service is hard to come by in todays world, and I sure am happy I found it here. Thanks!
After installing, the door wouldn’t close due to the end connections being too tall. I ended up swapping the old end connectors, which are just on threaded ends. Now working just fine. Jayco Greyhawk 2020 Class C.
Great service and advise on how to install. So many different ways to measure but Steve explained the correct method and it fit. Nice upgrade so the bed is easier to lift.
The selection process was easy to follow. I needed gas struts with a greater lift capacity for our under bed storage due to the addition of a memory foam mattress. I was able to select a strut pair with the proper length and extension from the website. The struts were received quickly and were exactly what I needed. The bed now raises gently and remains elevated.
Shipping package was way too large for items shipped. One item said read enclosed instructions for installation. There was none.
Hopefully will get some info from etrailer online.
Haven’t put them on yet but the ones I have changed were very easy with a helper to hold the bin door up
