Expert Answers about Gas Struts
- Stabilus Gas Strut 654150 Replacement
- I do have a suggestion, because we have a gas strut with with dimensions that are the same as the Stabilus 654150 which is likely to work; the Stabilus strut measures 26.46" when extended with 120 lbs of force.
The nearly identical strut we offer is the Solera Gas Strut for Short and Flat Awning Arms # LC280343.
The Solera strut also measures 26.46" when extended, as well as 15.04" when retracted, while exerting 124 lbs of force. So long as you can verify your strut has the same dimensions...

- Unless the force is specifically listed on your current strut, it is unlikely that you will be able to find the exact pressure. There is no standard for the numbers printed on them. For storage compartments, I would recommend a strut with 10-20 lbs of force like the Gas Shock - 10 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-5300-10 or Gas Shock - 20 lb Force # 372-5300-20. You will want to measure the length in order to find the right size.

- The Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches part # 3691824-10 is as close as I can get you. It offers an overall extended length of 12" and compressed is closer to 8.5". Using dual struts on a Husky tool box the 10 lb. pressure shocks are going to be ideal.

- While I don't know exactly what awning gas strut replacement you'd need I can easily help you figure it out as long as the awning you have is a Solera brand awning.

The part # LC260282 measures 24.38" when extended and 14.70" when retracted and the part # LC280343 measures 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted.

- If you are unsure which Solera awning strut replacement you need you can measure what you have to determine which you could need. The # LC260282 measures 24.38" when extended and 14.70" when retracted and the # LC280343 measures 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted.
The fittings of the struts need to press on. There's not really much more beyond that when installing them.

- We have several options for 17 inch extended struts but it comes down to what weight assist you would need. I attached a link to a page that has all of the options we carry but the # 372-5200-30 has a 30 lb capacity.
view full answer... - Availability of 24 inch Long Gas Strut with 100 lb Rating
- The closest option we have is the Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut part # 3691879-100 which has a 100 lb rating and is 23 inches long or the # 3691878-100 which has same rating but is 26 inches long. We do not have anything that is exactly 24 inches long. These are both annealed steel which is corrosion resistant but we do not have anything stainless steel.

- Each of these gas shocks are rated for use individually and not in pairs so the part # 372-5300-30 with it's 30 lbs rating would be how much it could lift by itself. So a pair of these would cover your 60 lb trunk lid.
Now with that said your easiest replacement solution would probably be to find a car parts shop that can order you in the exact shock you'd need.

- Typically in this situation you'll either have to move the strut further up on the door clear of the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 25" to 28-7/8" RV Door Frames - Quad - Aluminum # LC791574 or use a door stop like the Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder - 2" Long Stem # DH39R to create a bumper between the door and exterior wall.

- I have a better option for you, but it's possible a 20" shock would work, but you may run into issues with it not closing all of the way.
You're better off going with an exact replacement which is the # ATL44BR which is an 18-1/2" gas shock.

- You are right that the Hullavator isn't a good design for a stand-up paddleboard, but the Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Carrier and Lift Assist # Y04081 is a great option.
When it comes to lift assists for a SUP the ShowDown is the best way to do it. While you are right that the ShowDown does not have gas struts, it does compensate for up to 45 percent of the SUP's weight, which is the most of any assist for a SUP.
I do recommend locking the ShowDown to your rack and protecting your...

- There absolutely is a toolbox that meets all of your criteria, the DeeZee Red Label Truck Bed Toolbox # DZ8170L.
This is a low-profile toolbox with 8 cubic feet of storage capacity and is extremely simple to open because of the gas struts that will automatically open the lid when you release the handle.

- I do have an option for you, however there is not a gas strut/shock absorber style tailgate lift available that is confirmed to fit your 1996 Ford F-150.

This product is confirmed to fit your truck and features a torsion bar that will install between the truck bed and tailgate to allow for easy raising and lowering of the tailgate. The torsion bar takes on the tailgate weight when opening and the...

- For a 74 lb tandem kayak the best load-assisted kayak carrier would be the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 which allows you to load the kayak at about waist level and then use the gas assisted struts to push it up the rest of the way. This also has a 75 lb weight capacity unlike other similar options so it works in that regard as well.

- The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you referenced is a great assisted kayak carrier that lets you load it at about waist level and then using the assisted gas struts easily push it up to the roof of the vehicle. You will need a set of crossbars for your 2012 Nissan Murano that has raised side rails for this to attach to. For that the Malone AirFlow2 part # MPG216 would be a great option confirmed as a fit for both your vehicle and the Hullavator.
