Gas Struts 23 in 67lb with Mounting Brackets - Compact Lift Support

In this review of the Gas Struts 23 in 67lb kit, the bottom line is simple: this set is for DIYers and RV owners who need a reliable, midstrength lift support for lids and doors where space is limited. The reviewer found the kit useful for truck underbed storage and outdoor TV cabinets because the springs provide smooth assist and stable holding, and the included thickened mounting brackets make fitting straightforward. The gas struts work best when matched to the listed force range and measured holetohole dimensions before purchase.

Key Features

• 23 in extended length: The 23.00 in holetohole extension gives clear guidance for selecting a strut that fits the lid or door span.
• 13.55 in compression length: Knowing the compressed 13.55 in measurement helps ensure the strut will fit within confined spaces when closed.
• 67 lb force rating: The 67 lb (298 N) force is suitable for applications needing moderate lift assistance and stable open support.
• Complete bracket kit: Includes two gas springs, four thickened mounting brackets and four nuts so installers have the core hardware needed to mount the struts quickly.
• Removable integrated connector: The steel connector with a 6 mm thread diameter allows straightforward attachment and replacement without complex adapters.
• 18 month replacement support: The customer support promise reduces longterm worry about defects or premature failure.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at homeowners, RV owners and tradespeople who modify truck underbed storage, motor home doors, RV mattress storage lids or outdoor TV cabinets and want a midstrength gas lift that is easy to install. The package suits DIY projects where matching the listed extended and compressed lengths is possible and the listed 67 lb force falls within the required lift range.

Those who should look elsewhere include people needing very light or very heavy assist outside the 53.6-73.7 lb fit range, or anyone who requires screws included in the kit; this set excludes screws, so you must source fasteners that match your mounting surface.

Pros & Cons

Cons
