I contacted Stabilus, the manufacturer of the original shock on the H2. They said it is an easy fix and will be happy to take care of it. They work through distributors and have given me there number. Prototype shock will run 74.90 a piece. once the right poundage and figured and settled on they will just create a new shock with that poundage and put it into production and the price will drop. Not sure how much but it will go down. So there might be a little trial and error getting the right poundage to compensate for the weight of the ladder. Just thought I would give an update in case some one just could not wait any longer. I am sure the folks at Gobi are taking care of the guess work and getting a suitably priced one into production.
