Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock Feature Review Video

Hey Godwin! The Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit #K71-697-00 has an overall length of 13-1/2" including the hardware, and the shock itself is 7-1/2" (see attached photo). We aren't able to get the fully extended dimensions without…

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.

Hey John, I reached out to Dexter and they stated that they don't have these measurements for the Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit #K71-697-00. I was able to get my hands on one and get the fully retracted length (pictures below), but…

Since you are concerned about dips, RRs, and bumps in curves, I recommend using a shock absorber like #LC283271 or #LC281281 on your 5th wheel trailer. You stated the mounting hardware is already in place, so adding shock absorbers should be easy and…

First, thank you so much for providing all the axle information on your 2007 Fleetwood Redline 33. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring #e47SR is our closest match to the Lippert 702096 leaf springs that came on your trailer. Both are 4 leaves and the…

When installing a shock kit like the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Axle #LC281281 or using the #LC283280 you will want to install the shock so the lower connection to the axle U-bolt plate happens…

Thanks for reaching out, Bill! The Replacement Dexter Bolt-On Shock Kit #K71-697-00 measures 7-1/2" compressed (13-1/2" overall including the mounting hardware). We haven't been able to get a fully extended measurement because Dexter…

The Lippert Standard Replacement Shock - Black #LC283271 is only rated for 3500lb axles with 2-3/8" diameter axles so I am a little surprised that they were used on your 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn 3270RS 5th wheel as it has a GVWR of 15500lbs.…

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…

I will be happy to help explain how you would measure a shock such as #LC283280. Basically, you will compress the shock all the way (A) then mark the inner leg where the outer leg stops. Then release compression and measure the stroke (how far the…

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…

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…
