Pair of 16-inch black gas struts each rated at 55 lb to hold open heavy lids on RVs, cars or boats

  • Supports heavy covers with 55Lb force per strut
  • Fits 16in mounting points with 10x6mm holes
  • Installs in minutes using only basic hand tools
  • Durable metal construction resists wear over time
  • Universal fit for RV, car, boat and bus applications

Universal Fit for RV Car Boat

This pair of gas struts suits RV car boat and bus applications where a lift support is needed. Each unit extends to 40cm and compresses to 24cm with a total length of 42cm. The 55Lb pressure rating per strut handles medium to heavy covers and lids. Two pieces are included for balanced installation.

Sustained Hold Under Load

The metal construction delivers stable performance when a hood hatch or compartment stays open for long periods. The 55Lb force per strut keeps the panel in position without sagging during extended repair or loading tasks. Rod diameter of 8mm and housing diameter of 18mm maintain alignment through repeated cycles. Simple hand tools complete the fitting in minutes.

Check Mounting Points First

Verify that the 10mm by 6mm hole pattern matches the existing brackets on your vehicle. Measure the available space against the 42cm total length and 16cm rod length to confirm clearance. Ensure the 55Lb force per unit matches the weight of the panel you intend to support. Allow 1 to 10mm tolerance for manual measurement variance.

Questions about this item

Does the 55 lb pressure per strut make the hood lift too forcefully in hot weather?

Each strut delivers 55 lb of force; gas pressure rises with temperature so the lift feels stronger on hot days.

What mounting hardware must I already have for the 10 mm by 6 mm holes?

You need bolts or ball studs that fit 10 mm by 6 mm holes; the kit includes only the two gas springs.

Will the 16 cm rod stroke clear the hinge on my older RV hatch?

The rod extends 16 cm from the 24 cm compressed length to the 40 cm extended length; measure your hatch travel to confirm.
