C16-08053 20 inch 80 lb Gas Strut Spring Shocks, 71794 20" 80 Pounds for Tanning Bed RV Bed Tonneau Cover Boat Hatch Engine Cover RV Basement Door Bed Cover Trap Door Jukebox Pistons, Pack of 2 ARANA

Perfect for supporting my RV residential queen mattress with a 2-inch topper on it. Holds the storage lid up fine. These are the 100 lb. struts.

Yes they were fine, except I ordered the wrong size by mistake but I’ve received the right size now and have installed them. Great!!

Very well constructed and work as they should

They work great and delivery was awesome, my problem as to why a 5 star rating wasn't given is I had stated a measurement, when they arrived, they were shorter (approximately 1.3") than ordered. They still worked great, but weren't exactly as ordered. I installed them anyway because 1.3" wasn't that critical. But some applications may be.

Great fit I upgraded from a 80lb to a 100lb strut.Opens and closes with ease.

Worked just like they were supposed to. Exact fit and strength was as they should be. Slipped on easily, was nice to open the lid on the toolbox and the lid actually stay up. 😊

I did not use the struts for a normal vehicle application but they do compress about 2 inches which is enough travel for my application. I utilized them for extra support for my custom made e-bike rear cargo rack. I couldn't use solid supports due to the fact that the bike has rear suspension and the rear section of the frame has a pivot/flex point that moves up and down so the supports needed to have some type of movement so the bike suspension can still travel. I am not using them for a vehicle hatch or box lid, etc. I did try to compress them by hand before installation and I was not able to compress them by hand they were very stiff but they are rated for 100 pounds so I'm sure they would've been fine on a rear SUV hatch. They came from the manufacturer fully compressed with the polyester straps sewn on so they obviously are able to compress. Any customer that says they won't compress most likely bought a strut that it overrated for their application in my opinion.

These seem to work well now. (new) My experience with "Lift Support Gas Struts" From various Amazon sellers is that they will last from 6 months to a year before loosing pressure.Don't get too attached to them!
