The best shocks for your 2020 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS 5th Wheel are going to be the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # RM-2460. This system has nitrogen-charged shock absorbers that help to eliminate trailer bouncing, chucking, and proposing. This system fits 3" diameter 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs axles. You should verify your axle diameter before purchasing.

The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock item # LC283280 you were looking at will only fit your 5th wheel if it has the factory shock prep.

Hey Leonard, We don't currently offer the Dexter 052-003-00 but you could use the Lippert Standard Replacement Shock #LC283271 if you have a 3,500lb axle or the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock #LC283280 if you have a 3,500 - 7,000lb axle.

For a single shock use #LC283280. The larger part of the shock has an outer diameter of 2 inches. The smaller part has an outer diameter of 1-5/8 inches. I used digital calipers to measure and it was right on the money; 2.00 inches and 1.625 inches.

Answer 5

We 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…

We don't have a way to look up what the shock specs of your 2003 Hitchhiker II are but it's possible we have a replacement solution. If you can take your current shocks off and the compressed length is 8-5/8 inch and extended is 13-1/2 inch…

You 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…

Most likely we have parts that will be compatible with your Fayette axles but unfortunately I wasn't able to locate any specific information for the axles on your trailer using the numbers that you found on the tag. If they are round axles you…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
