Hello Dave; we don't have a good way to identify the shocks on your 2007 Triple E Topaz. What I would do is reach out to Triple E RV to see if they have any information on what shocks were originally installed. If I had to guess, I would say it is the Lippert # LC283280 which is designed for 3,500 - 7,000 lb axles with a compressed length of 8-5/8" and extended length of 13-1/2". These are used for trailers with the factory shock prep and likely the same as the factory shocks you have now.

Hi Robin sorry for the delay in answering I reached out to triple e but have not heard back yet. I removed one from the unit and compressed length of the shock body is 7 1/2” and extended length is 11 3/4” So the listed shocks you gave me should work?

@DaveC do you have a picture of it you could send in an email? You can respond to the email that brought you to this page. I wouldn't want to rely on measurements since those shocks are probably worn down and wouldn't match their original length. Otherwise I would have some patience waiting to hear back. We have been experiencing a lot of long delays hearing back from manufacturers throughout the industry (like a month+ for some) but they seem to be catching up as we move into fall.

@RobinH Done sent three photos one compressed one extended and on showing length of the studs. The pictures make it look like the tape is not lined up but it is.

@RobinH Yes I think these are the original shocks and they are done. No compression resistance at all but they do resist extending but don’t return to neutral.
