Video Transcript for Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock Feature Review
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.

I replaced our trailer shocks last year due to grommet wear. These are holding up nicely with over 8,000+ miles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 !!!

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.

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.

Doesn't fit factory mounts on Jayco Eagle 317RLOK.

Sorry to hear that, Adele. This is typically used as a replacement for something like the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit # LC281281, but I have heard it fit other things. That said, would you like to get this returned? I can get that process going for you if you would like.

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.

- Length of Shocks on Lippert Bolt-On Shock Mount KitI'm not exactly sure what you are asking; if it is about how to mount the Lippert shocks, the figure you referenced is simply a part of those directions. If you would like to clarify please let me know so I can get a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish.

- Which Shocks Fit Dexter Axle on TrailerHi Ronald; a search points to that being a 7k axle but I don't have a way to be sure without the serial number off of the axle tag. You can also measure your axle diameter which is enough to find the right kit. If you have a 3" diameter overslung axle (leaf springs on top of the axle) the # LC281281 is the correct kit. If it is a 2-3/8" overslung axle you need # LC281255 instead. If your leaf springs run under the axle the only option is the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers. These...
view full answer... - Replacement Shocks for 2007 Triple E Topaz 5th WheelHello Dave; we don't have a good way to identify the shocks on your 2007 Triple E Topaz. What I would do is reach out to Triple E RV to see if they have any information on what shocks were originally installed. If I had to guess, I would say it is the Lippert # LC283280 which is designed for 3,500 - 7,000 lb axles with a compressed length of 8-5/8" and extended length of 13-1/2". These are used for trailers with the factory shock prep and likely the same as the factory shocks you have now.
view full answer... - Measuring to Determine the Right Size Shock to Use on a TrailerIf you are looking to add shocks then measure using the following procedure: Compress the shock all the way (A) then mark the inner leg where the outer leg stops. Then release compression and measure the stroke (how far the shock moves) (B). Then measure the half way point of the stroke (C). Then you measure the shock length with it compressed to the half way point (Fig. 4A). The measurement cannot exceed the fully extended or compressed lengths. Add 2 inches to that last measurement....

- Replacement Trailer Shock Absorber for 2004 Jayco Designer 31RLSLippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 are what you will need as replacement shocks. They are 8.625 inches completely compressed and 13.5 inches completely extended so under weight they likely will be right at your 11 inch measurement. If you need replacement brackets, you can use the kit # LC281281.

- Compressed Length of Lippert Shock and Where it is MeasuredWe have shock # LC283280 but its compressed length is 8-5/8 inches. We are measuring that from inside washer to inside washer though so if you are measuring differently it is possible that this shock will work. I have linked a video of this shock for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Parts for 1970s Camper Frame with Dayton Fayette AxlesThe Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 is 8.625 inches compressed and 13.5 inches fully extended. Your current suspension may extend and retract slightly further but the shocks will be a good replacement based on the actual shock absorbing as long as they will fit your brackets. Unfortunately we don't have any info on your axle or hubs, so to help, I will need to get the bearing numbers printed on the face of your inner and outer bearing of one hub. If...

- Shock Kit for Travel TrailerWe do carry shocks for trailers that could work for your 2003 Kit Road Ranger. I was unable to locate a reference to the product number you mentioned but I recommend taking a look at the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kits, and the right one for you will depend on your axle. Shock Kit # LC281255 is for leaf spring suspension systems with 3,500-lb (2-3/8") axles and Shock Kit LC281281 is for leaf spring suspension systems with 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") axles. The shocks on these kits...
view full answer... - What Shocks Do I Need For A 2022 Jayco Eagle With OEM Shock Prep KitHey Adam, it looks like you are on the right track here, because the Lippert Shock # LC283280 is in fact the correct shock for your 2022 Jayco Eagle 29.5 BHOK with the Jayco shock prep kit. Basically, it has the mounts that come with the # LC281281 shock kit so you will need four of the # LC283280 shocks for your tandem axle fifth wheel.
view full answer... - Shock Kit that Fits 2023 Jayco Eagle 317RLOK with Shock MountsHey Todd, so our understanding is that from previous customers who have had your same RV the # LC283280 was the correct fit...but since these seem too long and RV components unfortunately aren't as consistent as they should be what you'd want instead is the part # K71-697-00 which is a little shorter by about an inch. Also keep in mind the studs on the shocks could be grinded shorter to allow for easier fitting into the mounts.
view full answer... - Shocks for 2021 Jayco Eagle HT With Factory Shock PrepYou are correct, your 2021 Jayco Eagle HT does not need the full kit # LC281281. All you need to add shocks to your trailer is the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280. This is a single shock so you will need to order a quantity of 4. They come with everything you need to install the shocks on your factory brackets.

Check out the following: -Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 -Lippert Standard Replacement Shock # LC283271 -Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit # K71-697-00 I would measure your existing shocks and see if these look like they will fit. You probably have Dexter axles on there so the if one of these is going to fit it is likely the Dexter shocks. It might...
view full answer... - Lippert Shock Kit for 2021 Keystone Passport 219BHHi Joe; the correct kit depends on your axle diameter and leaf spring configuration. I don't have a way of knowing which axles are on your 2021 Keystone Passport 219BH so you will have to identify them first. For both kits the leaf springs must be on top of the axle (overslung). If you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle (typically 3,500-lb capacity) you need the # LC281255 and for a 3" diameter axle (5,200-lb to 7,000-lb) # LC281281. If you have the shock prep then all you need is the Lippert...

Doing some research on the Monroe 555001 shocks, I'm pretty confident that the Lippert Heavy-Duty Shock # LC283280 will work well as a replacement for your Northwood Nash, and likely even an upgrade. It's designed for 3,500 to 7,000 pound axles so it has plenty of range, and has a compressed length of 8-5/8" and an extended length of 13-1/2". If you're able to take a couple quick measurements of the existing Monroe shock, that will tell you for sure if this will fit in its...
view full answer... - Replacement Shock for Forest River CardinaHey Dennis, sounds like you are in need of the Lippert shock part # LC283280 which has dimensions that are very close to what you mentioned. When compressed this is 8-5/8 inches and when extended it is 13-1/2 inches so it would work well for you. Is your shock blown? If so could you feel it back there when towing after it stopped functioning?
view full answer... - Recommended Shock Kit for a Tandem Axle Trailer w/ 5,200 lbs Capacity Axles The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock item # LC283280 is just a replacement shock. In order for it to fit you would already need to have a shock kit installed and the shock you are replacing measure 8-5/8" compressed and 13-1/2" extended. If you're wanting to add a set of shocks to your toy hauler's 5,200 lbs axles you can use the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks item # LC281281 but only if your axles are mounted below your leaf springs and they are 3" in diameter....

The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 will be just over an inch longer when compressed, and 1-1/2" longer extended but is rated for 3500-7000lbs which would be much better suited for your trailer.

These shocks are only designed for 3500lb axles. You will want to replace them with the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 which are rated for axles up to 7000lbs and will do a much better job on your trailer.
