25 in 120 lbs Gas Strut Shocks for TV Cabinets and RV Beds - Heavy

In this review the 25 in 120 lbs gas strut shocks from PAMAGOO are evaluated for homeowners and DIYers who need a reliable lift support for heavy lids and cabinet doors. The single biggest reason to consider these gas springs is their consistent 120 lb lift pressure per strut, which turns awkward, heavy covers into components that open smoothly and stay supported. The review examines build details, installation notes and real use cases such as RV beds, TV cabinet doors and basement hatch lids.

Key Features

• 25 in extended length: The long 25 in extension gives extra reach for deep cabinets, loft hatches and RV Murphy bed applications where more travel is required.
• 120 lb pressure per strut: Each gas prop is rated to support roughly 120 lbs, providing substantial lift force for heavy covers so they can be raised with one hand.
• Compressed length 14 in: The 14 in compressed length helps determine mounting geometry and is useful for planning bracket placement during installation.
• Complete mounting kit: The package includes two struts plus four L-type brackets (two right and two left) to fit common hinge and lid orientations without sourcing extra hardware.
• Installation support: PAMAGOO supplies videos and online guidance, which simplifies setup and helps ensure correct alignment and safe operation.

Who It's For

These gas struts are best for DIY homeowners, RV owners and furniture makers who need a heavy duty lift support for lids, doors and beds in the 85-115 lb effective weight range per pair. They suit projects where a 25 in stroke and a strong 120 lb lift are needed, such as TV cabinet doors, truck tonneau covers converted to lid supports, camper shells and loft or cellar hatch doors.

People who should look elsewhere include those with much lighter or much heavier lids outside the specified range, or users who require custom-length springs; also anyone who needs stainless hardware for marine exposure should confirm bracket material before installing.
