Expert Answers about Gas Struts


  • Recommended 23" Long Gas Strut fo a Camper Door
  • For a 10 lb gas strut we only have the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches # 3691835-10 which is only 20" long. Seeing as though you'd prefer a 23" long strut, the best we can offer is the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches # 3691879-30 which would require 30 lbs of force.

  • Is A Replacement Gas Strut With A 100-lb Rating And Measures 27" Long Available?
  • I spoke with Atlas Lift, and the poundage rating for the Hood Lift Support # ATL45VR is not something they record. However, we have some other options that are close to what you're looking for. We have the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut # 3691869-100, which has a 100 pound rating, and is 28" long. and we also have the Gas Shock # 372-2600-100, which also has a 100 pound rating, and measures 26" long. Unfortunately, we do not have any gas struts that have a 100-lb rating, and measures 27" long.

  • Do the Gas Shocks Come With Mounting Hardware Included
  • A gas strut like the Gas Shock - 80 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-2300-80 is designed to replace an existing strut where mounting brackets are already present. If you're adding one completely new, you'll need the mounting brackets # 3691880 and potentially a ball stud like the UWS 10-mm Ball Stud for Toolbox Lift Strut (Qty 1) # UWSBALLSTUD. I've also linked some of our available tool box parts if that's the application you're looking to use these parts on.

  • Recommended Replacement Gas Shocks For SpringLift SL-33-70 on 2002 Fleetwood Pace Arrow
  • I may have a solution for you, but from what I was able to find in my research, the Springlift SL-33-70 was made by Attwood and has been discontinued. It looks like this spring has a 15" extended length and 9.25" compressed length, with a 70-lbs force capacity. We don't have anything with those exact measurements but you could use the Gas Shock - 90 lb Force - 15" Extended, 9.66" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-2125-90. Using this strut may require the relocation of the mounting parts...

  • Stronger Gas Struts For A 25 Foot Lippert Solera Awning

This is a universal for manual and powered Solera awnings, measures 24" long, and has a compression force range of 124-144 lbs, & the extra 19 lbs of strength will help hold your awning up much better.

  • Recommended Gas Struts and Mounting Brackets for a Custom Tailgate On a 1991 Jeep Wrangler
  • With the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Classic Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra # DZ43100 being custom fit for certain YMM vehicles, I'd actually recommend using a standard gas strut # 372-2300-150 instead. This shock has a compression force of 150 lbs, an extended length of 20", and a compressed length of 11.41". This strut uses a standard 10mm ball socket to connect, so if you don't have any the Gas Shock Mounting Brackets # 372BR-12553 is what you'll need.

  • Replacement Tarp For Extang Tonneau Cover On A 2003 Ford F-350 Short Bed
  • We do have a few options for your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty Short Bed, but in order to determine the correct replacement tarp, I will need to know what model Extang model you have currently. For replacement gas struts, we only offer the Replacement Strut for Extang FullTilt and FullTilt SL Tonneau Cover Systems # EX8007. As far as weather stripping goes, we have a few options, but I would need to know what you currently have to provide an accurate answer. If you let me know what model...

  • Replacement 10mm Ball Stud for Entry Door Gas Strut on 2013 Palomino Columbus
  • It sounds like the 10-mm Ball Studs for Gas Shocks - Qty 2 # 372BS-1005 will work for you. The ball height is 7/8" long, so it's close to your 15/16" ball length and the stud is 1/2" long. This would be the closest match we have available.

  • Can 2 Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers be Used on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • We do have a few ways to carry your kayaks with your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser but since the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 requires that the roof rack have a weight capacity of 130 lbs and crossbars that hang over the legs by 4" - 8" we unfortunately don't have a setup for you to use the Hullavator Pro. Instead what you can use is the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD which allows you to use the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module # MPG351XL. This doesn't use gas struts like the Hullavator...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2018 Toyota Camry with Sunroof
  • It sounds like you're wanting to carry a kayak on the roof of your 2018 Toyota Camry and have a naked roof; I recommend starting with the Thule Roof Rack for Toyota Camry that uses parts # TH711520, # TH710501 and # TH145082. This gives you a very nice looking and durable roof rack that will allow you to add a kayak carrier and since it uses the 60" bars instead of the 53" bars # TH711420 that would normally be used on the 2018 Camry, it allows you to use a kayak carrier with a load assist...
