Video Transcript for Review of the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer. It is for a quantity of two shocks. Now, this pair of heavy duty shocks will upgrade the factory shocks on your 78 inch Rack and Roll Trailer, which we sell separately on our website. That trailer part number is Y08107.

Basically, these shocks will increase the weight capacity by a hundred pounds. The factory shocks have a 250 pound capacity. These will raise it to a maximum load capacity of 350 pounds. And it is required, these should be used if you're hauling more than 200 pounds on the trailer. Now, these will also work on the smaller 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer, which is part number Y08106.

But you do need to add the 78 inch Cross Member Kit, which is part number Y08111. Now, this will give you four inches of vertical movement to cushion and protect your cargo. And as we mentioned, it is for a quantity of two shocks. Application, again, it's for the 78 inch Rock and Roll Trailer. And the trailer capacity after adding these is 350 pounds.

And the last thing to give you is the measurement from the center eye. The center eye is gonna be 12 and seven eights inches. But that should do it for the review on the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rock and Roll Trailer.

Great product that was very easy to install on my Yakima Rack-n-Roll trailer. The shock upgrade together with the 78"expansion kit allowed me to increase the pay load of the trailer. I'm now able to carry 350 lbs of gear on the trailer.

Melissa understood what I needed and made certain the item was expedited to me. etrailer has never let me down, whether for car, RV or kayak trailer parts. Thank you!

You're very welcome Robin, I'm glad we could help!!

We upgraded to the heavy duty shocks when we bought our Rack and Roll 78 ten years ago. What we failed to do was proactively replace them along the way. When one broke on a recent trip it dropped the load onto the tire and chaos ensued. We replaced them with a new set from etrailer and notice a bit of a design change. Installation was a breeze. Many thanks to etrailer for having the parts and their fast service.

Shocks held up well given 7000 mile road trip to Alaska but did incur damage due to their exposure to road debris and rock chips. Trailer scaled at 400#’s.

Great upgrade to my Yakima trailer.15 minute job. Quick shipping and excellent service from etrailer!
by:
Arrived well-packed and quickly once available. They were super easy to install, and have enhanced our trailer's load capacity and ride. Highly recommend. NOTE: There were supply issues for these and other Yakima parts that were out of eTrailer's control, resulting in a very long wait time, but their staff were very responsive and attentive to the problem, following up multiple times with periodic updates on their expected arrival - thanks!!
by:
In addition to my wildy a.t.a.k. kayak, along side it, I mounted a large rectangular rod box (it’s a Yakima, I don’t recall the exact model name but they only build one thing in this class). That gets loaded with 4-8 rods, some med and small boxes, kayak anchor, etc so I was worried about the factory standard jobs being up to snuff, particularly if I had to drag the trailer thru some interesting terrain. The HD shocks have held up well with zero problems to date. Very pleased
by:
Super fast shipping! The heavy duty yakima shocks are worth the investment. I used them to carry 2 18ft kayaks and 4 bikes fork down with tire carriers. The kayaks had all the gear stowed inside, like the rescue equipment, life jackets, paddles etc and some bike equipment like helmet, shoes, tools. The extra weight was worth the shock investment, no kicks from the trailer just smooth ride over bumps. Also, the trailer is worth the investment since it significantly reduces drag and increases gas mileage.
by:
Installing the heavy duty shocks onto the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer was so fast and simple. The included instructions tell you to remove the wheels but that is totally unnecessary. After removing the bottom shock pin just use a piece of wood or a cardboard box to hold the wheel and it’s axel up and out of the way to allow you to get an open box end wrench on the head of the top mounting pin of the shock. It is located in the fender well. Using this approach, both new shocks can be mounted in about 20 minutes total. Tip, do one side at a time so you can always look at the other side for reference if needed.

Shipment and delivery was fast and per their estimate.
by:
Great pricing, super fast shipping. Great to work with!
by:
Easy order, fair price, quick delivery. Slight damage to exterior carton, but not a mark on the shocks. Very pleased.

Installation was straightforward, no problem removing the old shocks. Seem to ride about the same with two 14 kayaks. Rarely carry any load approaching 300-350 lbs, but nice to know I could. First standard shocks lasted over 10 seasons, these should outlast me.

by:
The shocks arrived on time and in good condition. I was concerned that it would be hard to figure out how to take the original shocks out and put the heavy duty shocks in, but the documentation that came with them was very straightforward and the trailer design made the change pretty easy. Getting the cotter pin out of the main shock pin took me a while; I ended up using a wooden wedge to get the cotter pin open enough to get it around the main pin and take it out.
Note that the nut and the bolt for the main shock bolt (referred to as the "second mounting point" in the documentation) are different sizes; I could use my 21mm socket on the bolt, but had to use an adjustable spanner for the nut, because it was bigger than any socket or wrench I had.
by:
Arrived in plenty of time. Take photos of the original installation before swapping to the new ones. Lots of washers involved. Adding years to my Yakima trailer.
by:
Shocks were exactly as ordered and shopping was very prompt! Customer service is excellent! I had to return 1 box of shocks only because of my mistake in not realizing there were 2 in a box, but etrailer was very gracious in processing the return. I would totally buy from them again!
by:
This is a great trailer that keeps exceeding expectations. With these shocks I’ve has 1500lbs on it (which I do not recommend and it definitely bottomed out the suspension. But it is used at least once a month and it is really great!
by:
no issues as expected
by:
Made a huge difference on hauling my kayaks. Definitely recommended to increase overall longevity
by:
I have not installed yet but the customer service at etrialer is always excellent! Only had one small issue and it was handled very quickly and professionally. I will use them when ever I can. Thank you!
by:
I got Lots of boxes with items well packed . Assembly - take your time - manual is good and answers each step well. Parts are high quality and finished build is very satisfying. After I use it for a while I can say more.
I talked to several long term owners and both said No problems and satisfied.
by:
Fast delivery and park worked perfectly.
by:
Nice heavy duty upgrade. Working well.
by:
Great staff, right product. Yakima had good instructions
by:
Just the extra support your trailer needs to carry that extra load. Easy to install.
by:
Fantastic
by:
Always great service always keep you informed when something is not in stock. Great company have purchased many thanks from them and always well in the future.

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
  • What Is Used To Attach The Shocks To The Swingarms On A Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer?
    Hi Philip! The shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 actually use a pin instead of a bolt. That is the Replacement Shock Pin for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # 8880182. This has a 14mm diameter and has 4-1/2" of useable length. If you wanted to use a bolt instead of this, you would want something longer than that so you could have enough threads for the nut to make good purchase. Are you by chance using these shocks for a different purpose than the Rack and Roll trailer?

  • Are Special Tools Needed to Adjust Preload of Heavy Duty Shock for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    Hey Frank, you do not need to use a wrench to adjust the preload of the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110. You will be able to make the adjustment by hand.

  • Are Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks Y08110 Adjustable
    Hey John, yes the shocks of the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 are adjustable but its' actually the spring preload that is adjustable. If you spin the spring base you can get it to push up harder on the spring which increases the preload and stiffness since it is a progressively rated spring. Are you hauling heavy with your Rack and Roll? I attached a picture of the adjuster. If you step the adjuster up higher and higher on those cut outs it pushes up and creates...

  • What Makes the Yakima Rack and Roll Different From the Malone MicroSport Trailers
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 is designed primarily for lighter loads such as watersport accessories and cargo. These lighter loads require a more sophisticated suspension i.e. coilovers in order to ride smoothly. If you just need to carry more weight and don't mind a rougher ride then you can go with the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G which has an 800 lbs weight capacity and utilizes a less sophisticated leaf spring suspension system that can carry more yes but...

  • Can The Yakima Rack And Roll Be Used To Carry An Old Town PDL 106/120
    Hey Daniel, The Yakima Rack And Roll 78", # Y08107, is a great option for hauling your 2 kayaks. I went ahead and looked up the dry weight of your kayaks and they came out to around 221lbs for the both of them. I recommend you go with the suspension upgrade kit, # Y08110, for that trailer especially if you have any accessories on your kayaks. For the imbalance, typically the heavier kayak is going to be put on the right side of the trailer to counteract the natural pull of the road to...

  • Is There a Lightweight Foldable Trailer That Will Fit in the Back of an SUV
    Hey Donald, Are you looking for something like the Malone WideTrakAT # MPG521 or # MPG521-S that helps you transport a kayak/canoe to the water? I've never heard of a trailer being small enough to fit in the back of an SUV (even folded) so if you're looking for something that will transport a larger boat, then you'll need something like the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 with the HD Shock Kit # Y08110 which enables it to hold up to 350 lbs. If you can help me have a better perspective...

  • Can the Yakima Rack and Roll be Used to Carry 2 Old Town Autopilot 120s
    Great question, Jim! The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 has a 250 lb weight capacity so I only recommend hauling your 2 Old Town Autopilot 120s with it if you keep them at that dry weight of 123 lbs. Since that's no fun, I recommend also adding the HD Shocks # Y08110 to the mix so that the weight rating is upped to 350 lbs so you have more wiggle room with your equipment. If you'd like to incorporate carriers for your kayaks then the Yakima BigCatch # Y04091 is what you'll want...

  • Will Heavy Duty Shocks Fit Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer 66" Trailer
    According to Yakima, the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 should only be used if you add the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111. They didn't have an exact reason for this, but it sounds like the concern is people will attempt to overload the trailer if they only add the heavy duty shocks. The shocks alone won't increase the capacity of the # Y08106 which is 250 lbs with the standard or heavy duty shocks. We don't have any direct reports of customers using these on...

  • Should Yakima Rock and Roll Trailer Upgrade to Heavy Duty Shocks
    While there isn't a life expectancy, per se, of the shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 and 78" # Y08107, upgrading to the HD shocks is absolutely a good idea if your gear weighs around 200 llbs and certainly anything above that. The Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 do increase the capacity of your trailer from 250 lbs to 350 lbs so if you need that extra capacity, the HD shocks are what you'll need. That said, if you are just in the 100...

  • How Long Do the Wheel Bearings Last in the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    Since we have started carrying the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08107 I have not heard any complaints regarding the wheel bearings failing and only a few instances where people wanted to replace the wheel assembly. If you need to replace your bearings you'll need to source them since Yakima doesn't carry any and we don't carry the proper size bearings that fit. Should a wheel ever need to be replaced it is # Y08121. The trailer has a 250 pound capacity but that can be increased to...

  • Recommended Rack and Roll Trailer for Kayaks and Bikes
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 or 78" # Y08107 ride very well at highway speeds on long trips. These 16 inch wheels work very well at any posted highway speed in favorable conditions. Just like any trailer, you want to slow down in conditions with excessive water, snow or ice, and extreme wind. We have had very happy customers with these trailers as you can see in the customer reviews and have not had any issues with the tires. This trailer has been on the market for...

  • Can The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat Trailer Haul A Sea Eagle FastCat14 Catamaran
    Hey Doug, The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 has a maximum boat length of 14'. With your FastCat14 being 14'-4" you're just a bit over that maximum length. It would likely still fit but you'd be going against the manufacturer's requirements. Instead I recommend the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107, which can accommodate boats up to 17' in length. It has a 250lb weight capacity that can be increased to 350lbs with HD Shocks # Y08110.

  • Maximum Speed When Using a 66 Inch Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106
    The Rack and Roll trailers, like the 66 inch long model # Y08106, are rated to tow at normal highway speeds. As always, exceeding posted speed limits is not recommended, especially when towing. You may want to consider a spare tire # Y08121 for the trailer, which includes a mounting kit to attach it to the frame. We also offer a kickstand, part # Y08115, for easier storage of the trailer. It may be a good idea to change out the factory shocks with a set of the Yakima replacement...

  • Recommended Kayak Trailer For Carrying 5 Kayaks With a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    I recommend using the Yakima Kayak Trailer for 5 Kayaks # Y24TR to transport your kayaks with your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The trailer will give you the ability to easily load and unload the kayaks from a manageable height. You will be able to carry up to 5 kayaks for a total weight of 250lbs(each kayak must not exceed 80lbs) or you can add the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 to increase capacity to 350lbs. The Kickstand for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08115 will keep the front of...

  • Can 78" Crossbars be Used on the 66" Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106
    If you are already planning on needing more space than the 66" Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 can provide then I highly recommend going ahead and getting the 78" Rack and Roll # Y08107 instead. The 78" trailer is a whole foot wider than the 66" option so it can better handle the wider loads. If you were to add 78" crossbars to the 66" trailer the bars would stick out past the fenders and you are much more likely to tip the trailer that way. I reached out to my contact at Yakima...

  • When Should the Heavy Duty Shocks for the Yakima Rack N Roll Trailer Be Adjsuted
    You'd only need to adjust the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 if you're hauling a heavy load that is causing your shocks to bottom out. These shocks have 4" vertical adjustability to combat that, so you'd need to adjust according to your load.

  • Removing Bushing to Install Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    I checked with Yakima and they told me to have to have you clean and lubricate the bushing and then try to pull it off with a pair of pliers. Force isn’t an issue because if they can’t get the bushing off we will need to replace the trailer side rail.

  • Can Thule Square Load Bars be Used on Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, Part # Y08107
    My contact at Yakima confirms that the Rack and Roll Trailer, part # Y08107, is compatible with Class I, II and III hitches and since late 2010 comes standard with a 2-inch coupler. Originally the trailer was supplied with a 1-7/8 coupler and a running production change was made to move to the 2-inch. Yakima will supply at no charge a bolt-on 2-inch coupler, part # Y08123, to customers that receive a 1-7/8 unit and need the larger size. However, recent production should have a 2-inch coupler.

  • Are The Heavy Duty Shocks And The 66 Inch Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Compatible?
    I reached out to my contact at Yakima and they confirmed that the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 will fit on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66 inch # Y08106. However the 66 inch trailer is not able to carry more than 250 lbs unless you add the 78 inch crossmember kit # Y08111 which will allow you to carry up to 350 lbs. The 66 inch crossmember limits that trailer to 250 lbs.
    view full answer...
  • What Size Ball Is Needed For The Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer?
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 has a 2" coupler, so your ball mount will need a 2" ball like the Curt # 40038. At the stock set up, you will have 66" crossbars and 250 pounds of carrying capacity. This can be upgraded to 350 pounds by by adding the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111 and HD shocks # Y08110. You will not need to upgrade the ball to do this though.
    view full answer...
  • Weight Capacity for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers with Standard and HD Shocks
    The weight capacity for the standard Yakima Rack and Roll trailer like part # Y08107 is 250 lbs when used with the standard shocks. If you go to the HD shocks like part # Y08110 you increase that capacity to 350 lbs. This is recommended if you plan to tow over 200 lb.

  • Does Oil Around Shocks of Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Indicate They Have Failed
    Your current shocks are leaking fluid which is a sign they have failed. The oil inside the shock which provides the dampening is most likely gone to point the shock is no longer functioning and the suspension is really bouncy. The HD shock kit part # Y08110 would replace what you have now and will allow the suspension to work like it needs to. It would not be rated too high for the 100-200 lb you'll have on your trailer.

  • What All is Needed to Transport 5 Bikes on Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 referenced in your question is a great product and will be perfect for transporting your 5 bikes, or any other accessories you may want to haul in the future. The trailer basically works as a Yakima roof rack on wheels, with 78 inch crossbars to provide attachment points for bike racks, cargo baskets and other roof-mounted products. First, to transport your 5 bikes on the trailer, you will need compatible bike racks to secure your bikes for travel. For...

  • What Tool Is Needed To Adjust Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 For a Yakima Rack & Roll Trailer?
    You are correct that the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer should be adjusted using a spanner wrench. While we do not carry this tool you should be able to find it at a local motorcycle parts store. The tools found at automotive stores are typically going to be larger than what you will need. A 38-42mm spanner wench is the size you will need.
