How wide is the tube? Product description says 2" but that seems massive, especially since the 28# version says 2" as well.

These were an exact match for the old struts I took off. My M/H is in Florida, I'm in France. My guess is they are about 1" diameter or slightly less.

It is definitely not 2". I don't have mine here to measure, but I would say definitely less than an inch.

Mine are only 3/4" wide....and they work great. I can't think of why the product description says that. Maybe they are including something else in that measurement. The only other measurements that you need to take into consideration is the total length of the whole spring and the way you plan on connecting it to what your using it for.

They are about 1". I constructed a 7' long dock box for the lake and they work perfect. The deck lid is 3/4" plywood. The only challenge was finding out where to mount them so the lid would close correctly.

It's not that wide. Not sure why it states that. It's probably just under an inch. I can't remember exact size when I bought it, but no where near 2 inches.

If the question is would it fit a 28 inch I am not sure,I think the tube might stretch, it is a very thick tube. And probably would not need to stretch very much.I would think it would definitely fit in a 700x32, I have 700x28s.I like, one of the other answers, had to start over and stuff it into the tire. But the end result was it worked perfectly.

Yes it's a 48" tube, the dropdown menu on Amazon is incorrect. When you select 18" tube from the drop down and add it to your cart, you will see it's actually a 48" tube

I needed 1.95 and never noticed the two opposing descriptions. My box say 2.125. Tube is tucked away.

I did my best to do an accurate measure by butting a piece of cardboard up against the side of the tube at its widest point. My measurement came out at 1 1/4". Hope this helps.

Not to sound rude but the description plainly states it's 2.5" and yes I gained 2.5". Plus I installed the largest set of tires without rub for the 4Runner and gained another 1".

The diameter of the tube is approx. one inch and the tube insert is approx. two and one half inches. This is the second set sent to me and it still doesn't fit!! Tony Antich

"It's really frustrating I can;'t find this information anywhere."I agree. It's beyond me why this isn't clearly advertised. For dimensions, it suggests 5.8" which is basically half a foot. Now I'm seeing 40", 42", 3 feet, 2 feet? How hard is it to measure the correct length and put it in the product description where it belongs? That said, this is reason enough for me not to buy it.

If I am remembering correctly, I think the tube (inflated from side to side) is 36 inches. We took these to an all inclusive resort in Mexico that had a lazy river. My husband is 6' , 250 lbs. and he was able to use it (easier if he just laid across the top but he did manage to get on top face up a few times too)... sort of looked like an elephant on top of a cheerio but it worked and we enjoyed it (with a few giggles and some funny pictures).

It's about 2" wide. You could also ask, how small is the 2" one. The answer to that is 2", too.

I needed a 2" and this guage is fractionaly smaller than the 2" needed-I would contact them and get the correct size--Emmett

I think that there is only one size; I have purchased several of the tubes and they are all the same size. I would not purchase a tube that does not have a size listed. Can you get a more "up close" picture so that you can see the size on the tube? Carol

Much larger than 2.5" and a bad idea trying to restrict it down to that size. (Call Air-n-Water for more tech support. They're fantastic.) The hose is much like an exhaust pipe on a car. If you monkey with the size of the pipe, you lose compression, horsepower, etc. Not to mention the noise issues. Just a thought.

This is a repeated question with different answers, but the one I received is 2"

I tried using the 26"x2.1" tubes on these tires to try to save money. I think the tube was too big cause the tire blew up. You need the right tube. I ended up getting 26"x1.5" tubes and it worked great. I did the Trans America three years ago on these tires, and only had one flat. I still have these tires. They wear very well.

The 2" is an approximation. All vehicles are different. Try marking where the tube stops and compare it with the length of the dip stick. The dip stick may be closer than 2" from the oil pan.
