Help With Door

4 posts in this topic

I have these shocks (don't know what their called) on my doors but the door does not raise all the way up so I always end up ducking under the door.  The current measurement from center of hold to center of hole is 7.5 inches.  The door at the end is about 6 or more inches short from touching the wing.  Can you tell me where I can get replacements that extend further?

Thanks

McMaster Carr. If you do a search I did a thread from when I converted mine and part numbers were included.

I took one of my non functioning struts to the local pick-up truck canopy dealer and they had a wide selection of length and lift capacity to choose from.  I found some that had 35lbs lift capacity, close to a length I could work with and was able to get the ball end connectors and brackets.  It was easy to replace the original fittings with the new brackets and the struts now clip on and can be replaced easily if needed.
