Specs:
Note: Always replace your struts in pairs, where applicable. Most lids, covers, or hatches have a strut on each side. Failure to replace both struts can result in a warped or damaged hinge.
Gas Strut with Exceptional Stability
Most gas struts consist of a tube filled with pressurized nitrogen gas, a piston, and rod. The Atlas Lift strut, however, has a dynamic damping groove inside the tube that regulates gas movement across the piston. This ensures your tool box lid, bed cover, or boat hatch stays open when you want it open and shuts slowly without bouncing or slamming. Lastly, in contrast to struts that only have gas in the chamber, a few drops of oil have been mixed in to help seal the piston and lubricate the rod. This allows your lid to move more smoothly as the rod travels in and out of the tube.
How to Find the Right Gas Strut for Your Application
Determining which gas strut is right for your application is easy. All you need to do is remove your worn-out strut and locate the force printed on the side of the tube:
Then, pull the rod out so it's fully extended and take the following measurements:

Hi everybody. My name is Andy with etrailer.com. And today, we're taking a look at this universal lift support. Now, this is going to replace one worn out or damaged loop mount gas strut for your truck cover or your boat hatch, your toolbox and more. Now, the dampening technology provides smooth operation that eliminates bouncing or jumping. And this is going to ensure frictionless movement in all weather conditions.
This arm extends to hold your lid or your hatch open, and it's going to gently compress while closing. Now, the loop mount connectors install directly to your original equipment manufacturer fittings. And the nitride coated steel shaft is corrosion resistant for long-lasting performance. And you are going to get one lift support. So, let me see if I can get you a measurement of the inside diameter of this loop mount.
Now, we're gonna be sitting right at 3/8 of an inch inside diameter of the loop mount. And then the extended length from the center of the loop to the center of the loop, try to get that as close as possible for you. We're gonna be sitting right at 10 1/16 inches from loop, to center of loop to center of loop. And the compressed length is going to be 6 11/16 inches. And the stroke is gonna be 3 3/8 inches.
And then the compression in force pounds is going to be 68 to 78 pounds. Now, this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna do it for our look today at this universal lift support. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Quick, tool-free installation.These worked fine during warm weather, however, when it got cold they quit working and would not hold nor lift the glass lid. These have been replaced with factory units.
just took longer then expected .
So far so good. We will see if they last another winter here in Colorado. The struts we have had in the past seem to fail in the winter time.
They worked perfect. Glad I made the purchase at etrailer
