Question:
Replacement shocks for my fifth wheel trailer Need to know what length size I need for my trailer? To shock mount top to bottom of Bracket measures 12 1/2 the shocks are need to be double standard. How do I determine which Shocks I need
asked by: Kurt
Expert Reply:
The best way to determine which replacement shocks will work is by matching up the length of the old ones as close as possible and then also using the GVWR of the trailer.
If your brackets are 12-1/2" apart, and the GVWR of your trailer is between 3,500-lbs and 7,000-lbs then you can use the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 to replace your existing shocks; these shocks are 13-1/2" completely extended, so they'll fit with your current brackets. These will give you plenty of room for compression and should bolt up to your existing mounting plates as long as your existing shocks are bolt on.
If you've got a different GVWR on your trailer, let me know and I can look for an alternative solution for you.
