Just installed the hatch and put a 2x4 under it to hold it up.... and put a scale on floor, 2x4 on top of it to get the "dead weight". The scale is showing 60#s. I was originally going to get 100# gas struts but now I'm thinking that might be overkill.
Is it "usual" to get struts a little over what the actual weight is... like maybe in my case 80#s might do well??
Any thoughts on what strength would be appropriate?
Thanks!
John
