Triton clamshell replacement shocks?

Johnny K · Feb 3, 2019

Have a 10' Triton clamshell that needs new shocks. Replaced then 3 1/2 years ago with triton 08158 (102n) shocks from hannarv.com

Disappointed that they only lasted that long...

Either way, has anyone found other replacements?.. I googled and searched this site but didn't find solid info.. Suspa seems to be a good brand.. But need the right pounds and ball mounts

Worse case I'll order 2 more tritons for $69.99 and plan on replacing them in another 3-4 years.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Key is determining the correct pressure/lifting lbs..

I see McMaster has 29.5" ones (only 3/4" longer than oem) in 100#, 200#, 250 lbs each for $26

Hoping some knows exactly what worked for them

Thanks

Follow up.. Ordered triton ones.

Printed on them are Austin Supply & Hardware, GSS 08158, 17355

Looking on the www.austinhardware.com site and searching GSS 08158:

$8.83 each.. Lol. 230# specs.. Worth a shot ordering direct. I'll try it if/when I buy again.

Installed Yesterday, work great. Bought for much more from another retailer. Part number is a triton number.. so not sure if they are a triton supplier, but they are represented as such..

Had to give a lot of force to pull down now..turns out one of the old ones was blown with no pressure.. the other side I can't compress with my weight..but I think it's best to replace in pairs..
