Who makes the shocks?

I have a 2023 Jayco 31MB, it comes with a four-star handling package, which includes shock absorber mounts.
The distance between the mounds is 10 1/2 inches.
The only shocks I found that might fit, have a 7 1/2 inch compressed length
Which would only give a 1 inch of stroke so that won’t work.
The dealer email jayco a month ago and still got no reply!
What’s up with that! I think I discovered a design flaw.
Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem or may have found shocks that fit.
  • On my 2011 Jayco Eagle the axles are on the bottom of the spring I used Monroe 555025 . IIRC etrailer has 2lengths & the longer one is the yellow ( same as Monroe ) & a shorter black one Monroee does have an online chart with the demensions and travel lengths.

    What is the extended length?
  • Look for identification tag on your axles to determine who made them. Check etrailer for some. Possible Dexter
