Specs:
When replacing gas shock on your vehicle or RV, you will want to make sure you are buying a replacement with the exact same extended length, compressed length, and pounds of force. This information is usually printed on the shock. Lengths are measured from the center of the ball joint used for mounting. If you are planning on installing gas shocks on something for the first time, identifying the shock you need requires fairly complex initial calculations, so be sure to do your research to avoid purchasing a shock that will not fit your application.

Today, we're going to take a look at the JR Products, 20 inch long gas shock. Now this gas shock will replace a worn or damaged shock on your RV entry door or storage doors. The extended length on this is 20 inches, and that's measured from the center of this fall socket to the center of that fall socket. So if we put our ruler on it, there's your 20 inch measurement. The compressed length, if we could compress this all the way, it would be 11.41 inches. Output force on this shock is 90 pounds.
The connection type, it is a retaining clip on a 10 millimeter ball socket. And I do want to zoom in on it just to show you the detail of how you'd install it.But if you look here's your 10 millimeter ball socket on top of it as a retaining clip. And there's a slot there, basically, if you take a flat tip screwdriver, slide it in that slot, just pry up on that retaining clip to release it, and that'll release pressure in the ball socket. And then you'll just push this onto your 10 millimeter ball and then push the retaining clip back down to secure it into place. So it's a very simple installation does have a nice black nitride finish to it, but that should do it for the review on the JR Products, 20 inch gas shock..

This shock is great we use it alot because it is on the saddle compartment door of our horse trailer.
I talked with Roger about a week ago. I haven't heard from him, so I called and got Jessica. Told her that I haven't heard from Roger. So I told Jessica what I needed. She look it up. Said that they would be in, but that's after I leave where I am. She found a similar product that would work and less money. I ordered and it will arrive before I leave, and I can install them as well. Really, good customer service.
Delivered correctly and quickly.
I can't I just got them yesterday and it will probably be 2 weeks before I mount them,but they look like they will do the trick.Packing was great.
Perfect description and fit!
Fast arrival and easy to install

Exactly what I needed for my Kwik Kamp motorcycle trailer! It's nice to share information in our group when we find parts to use for our discontinued campers.

This fit my 05 Bigfoot 9.6 camper door with about 3/8 compression left. This is the shock you want. It has a slow open feature and does not slam the door open possibly risking tearing the mounts off. So no worries about people who just open the door and head out. We used to have to coax the door open. Not you can let go of it. Love this shock!!
Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
The Stabilus shock holding the 22" door of our bumper pull trailer open was weak. Mild wind would push it shut. This shock fit right onto the existing ball joints. A small blade screwdriver pried the "c" clip back, allowing me to slip the socket over the ball, and the clip snapped into place. Maybe 30 seconds and the shock was installed.
The biggest challenge was determining what force I needed in the replacement. The existing shock had the model information scraped away where it rubbed on the door threshold. No where could I find on the etrailer site what force a small door shock should be. I ended up chatting with an RV service tech I know, who looked it up in his parts catalog. Turns out 10 lb force is standard except for large RV doors. I would suggest etrailer.com add this information on their online catalog. Maybe it's there and I couldn’t' find it? "Gas shock force needed for RV doors."

Great customer service and prompt delivery.
I haven't installed them yet but look to be the exact replacement part for the current ones in my camper.

Overall, I was satisfied with the process as well as as quality and condition of the door opener. I was fortunate that the opener fit correctly. There was some dissatisfaction that your web site offered little in the way of cross-reference data for a direct replacement with the existing opener on my trailer. Also, considering that the item was in stock, delivery took longer than I had anticipated.

These shocks made my RV cabinet door stay up like new again!
Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
It didn't fit the camper door swivel pin properly. Head of hinge too big so door wouldn't shut. Went back to Lakota Horse trailer and ordered the part. I don't believe you had stock that would have worked. Thanks for asking.

Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
Worked as advertised. Easy installation. Used on an under-bed storage box in my RV.
Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
Didn't work, until I realized the post couplings would screw off the OEM and screw on this new unit. Door wouldn't shut until I changed out this hardware. Now it is perfect! The couplings that come with the unit were too large for my door. All good now, perfect fit. 2020 Thor Citation 24ST.
Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
The selection process was easy to follow. I needed gas struts with a greater lift capacity for our under bed storage due to the addition of a memory foam mattress. I was able to select a strut pair with the proper length and extension from the website. The struts were received quickly and were exactly what I needed. The bed now raises gently and remains elevated.
Review from a similar JR Gas Shocks in RV Door Parts
The product you sent does not comply with the listed specifications; that is, the extended length is 18.5", not 18", and the compressed length is not 11.5"; rather, the length is 12". Bottom line: when installed my door will not close.
