Expert Reply:
We have gas shocks for trailer doors, and I can tell you how to determine the correct one for your trailer, but wouldn't have any way of knowing the exact one you need. To determine the correct one though, all you have to do is measure you shock's retracted and extended length to ensure the correct one.
For example, the Gas Shock # 372-2300-120 has a compressed length of 11.41" and an extended length of 20" with a strong 120 lbs of force.
The Gas Shock # 372-7145, on the other hand, has a compressed length of 15.82", extended length of 26.32" and a robust 150 lbs of force.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of gas shocks for you, which you can filter by size once you determine the correct one.
