Overview

This listing includes a pair of genuine Dexter 052-003-00 RV shock absorbers with double-stud threaded ends. These shocks are used on compatible RV and camper leaf spring suspension systems to help control suspension movement, reduce bounce, and support a smoother towing experience when the trailer’s shock brackets and measurements match.

R&P Service Insight

Trailer shock absorbers should be matched by measurement and mount style, not by appearance alone. Before ordering, compare the removed shock and trailer bracket spacing to the specifications listed here.

Length Check: Confirm the 18" extended and 14" compressed end-to-end measurements against the old shock.
Mount Check: Verify that the trailer uses double-stud threaded shock mounting at both ends.
Hardware Check: Inspect existing brackets for damage, elongation, or misalignment before installing new shocks.

R&P Knowledge Hub

Compatibility: Use this pair only for compatible trailer shock applications where the Dexter 052-003-00 dimensions, double-stud mount style, and 3/8" thread size match the existing setup.

Vehicle / System Fit: Designed for RV and camper trailer leaf spring suspension systems equipped with shock absorber brackets.

Installation Notes: Replace worn bushings and mounting hardware during shock service. Do not force a shock into a bracket spacing that does not match its compressed and extended travel range.

Performance Insight: Properly functioning shocks help control compression and rebound movement, which can reduce trailer bounce and help limit excess stress on suspension components.

Brand & Fitment Note

Selling Brand: Dexter

Application Reference: Dexter 052-003-00 is the primary part number for this listing. Lippert LC283280 may be used as an application reference only where the buyer verifies matching dimensions and mounting style.

What This Means: This listing is for a genuine Dexter shock absorber pair. Compatibility must be confirmed by measurement, mount style, thread size, and bracket spacing.

Before Ordering: Verify extended length, compressed length, double-stud mount style, 3/8" thread size, hardware requirements, and trailer bracket condition before installation.

R&P Repair Insight

Replacing trailer shocks is most successful when both sides are checked together. Uneven shock wear, damaged brackets, or incorrect travel length can affect ride quality and may cause premature component wear.

Replace in Pairs: For balanced suspension control, replace matching shocks on the same axle set together when possible.
Check Bushings: Worn or missing rubber bushings can create looseness, noise, and poor shock control.
Confirm Brackets: Bent, cracked, or misaligned brackets should be corrected before installing new shocks.
