Lippert shock absorber replacement options

Replacement 283271 Lippert shock is about $100 Canadian currency each at dealer or Napa.
Amazon about half that but will not ship to my location.
Options?
  • Ok Cummins about to install the number on the old is 122108.
    The Munroe number 5550001 seems to be about 1/2 inch longer compressed.
    Might this be a problem?

    There might be a Monroe equiv. as they make a lot of trailer shocks/kits.


    I believe that Monroe discontinued trailer shock kits years ago.

    Monroe quit makeing the mounting kits but still make rv shocks. Our Jayco came with mounts but no shock. I followed Monroes instructions for measuring and my local auto parts guy matched up what I needed. I thought I still had the model but no can find.
    It did make a difference on stuff moving around . However from vidideos on utube the Joyriders or whatever they are called would be the better way even tho more $. Having the mounts the shocks were worth it but if you have to go with the lci kit would go better.

    Thanks Cummins. Just ordered them.


    GREAT!

    I had then on two previous RV's and they were much better than the Chinese OE shocks.
