Refined title: 12 Inch 40Ib Black Lift Supports Struts Gas Spring for RV Car Truck

The gas springs included in this product are powerful, capable of supporting small, medium, and heavy objects with ease. These versatile struts can be used for a variety of applications, such as car windows, bonnets, and tailgates, as well as RV windows, pickup truck tonneau covers, trailer covers, bus luggage doors, and motorcycle seat covers, among others.

Installation of these gas springs is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes using simple hand tools. It is recommended to have someone assist you in opening the hood or tailgate during the installation process, and to use safety stands or supports under the vehicle for added safety.

Before removing the old gas struts, it is important to check the end connection and compare the extended length to ensure compatibility with the new ones. To remove the old struts, place a small flat-headed screwdriver on the end of the U-shaped band and slowly lift it approximately 1/8 of an inch, then pull the struts away from the car.

To install the new struts, follow the same process in reverse. If the ends are not aligned, you may need to rotate the struts by connecting the shaft end of the bracket to the vehicle first, then rotating the entire body of the bracket clockwise to align the ends.

Please note that the support weight of these gas springs ranges from 34 to 46 pounds (151 to 205 Newtons). However, if the temperature is lower than minus 20 degrees Celsius, the oil density of the gas spring may become high (frozen), making it difficult to press down.

These Lift Support Struts are made of durable carbon steel, ensuring they are strong and long-lasting. They are designed to be universal, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The package includes 2 pieces of these high-quality gas springs, with an extended length of 12 inches and a compressed length of 7.5 inches, and a force of 40 pounds (178 Newtons or 18 kilograms) per strut.
