Hi Philip!

The shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 actually use a pin instead of a bolt. That is the Replacement Shock Pin for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # 8880182.

This has a 14mm diameter and has 4-1/2" of useable length. If you wanted to use a bolt instead of this, you would want something longer than that so you could have enough threads for the nut to make good purchase.

Are you by chance using these shocks for a different purpose than the Rack and Roll trailer?

I have one of the original Sportsrig trailers that I was looking to upgrade / replace the original shocks. They are attached with a ? inch bolt.

@PhillipW Gotcha. The size of the bolt you mentioned came through as a question mark for some reason, but you could get away with a 1/2" bolt I think. Roughly the same size as 14mm. Basically. Those SportsRig tailers are pretty sweet. How do you have yours set up?
