25Inch 200Lbs Gas Struts Lift Support Pair - Heavy Duty 25 in

In this review the 25in 200Lbs gas struts pair is evaluated for DIYers and vehicle owners who need a strong, reliable lift support. The bottom line: these gas springs deliver substantial lifting force and come as a complete mounting kit, making them a practical choice for heavy lids and hatches. The reviewer found them especially useful where firm, repeatable support is required, and notes that the kit is geared toward applications with lids roughly 160-220lbs.

Key Features

• Force: Each strut provides 200Lbs/890N of lift so heavy lids and covers stay supported without sagging.
• Length: The extended length of 25 in and compressed length of 14 in give a broad operating range for springs on deeper boxes and hatches.
• Complete kit: The package includes two struts, four L-type mounts and four nuts so installers have the main hardware needed to mount both sides of a lid.
• Outdoor rated: The design is intended for use in outdoor areas like boat covers, trash bins and tool boxes, offering wider applicability for marine and exterior storage.
• Application range: Recommended for lids around 160-220lbs which helps buyers match the springs to heavier bench seats, RV queen beds, and truck lids.

Who It's For

This product is best for DIYers, RV owners, campers and truck owners who need strong, long 25 in gas springs to support heavy lids such as RV storage platforms, toolbox lids, tonneau covers and floor hatches. It suits anyone who prefers a ready kit with L-type mounts for straightforward installation on both small and large covers.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with very lightweight lids under 160lbs who may prefer softer springs for gentler opening, and buyers who require exact corrosion resistance specifications for prolonged marine saltwater exposure, as detailed material grades are not specified in the kit description.
