Im needing to find this shock. yall show one for the 5000 lbs system with a 2 in ball but I cant find the one for the 6000 lbs with 2 5/16 setup. Could you help me locate this. Thanks

We do have a replacement shock absorber for a Toledo brake actuator.

I recommend part # 1844-2. The measurement center to center of the mounting holes on this shock is 6-1/4 inches when fully closed and 8-1/4 inches when extended. The bolt holes are 7/16 inch diameter. If these mounting dimensions match the shock you have in your coupler, this replacement shock will work well for you.
