Gas strut consensus?

Postby jabber35 » Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:42 am

Is there a general consensus on the best value/ supplier for gas struts? I did a search and nothing came up. Thanks for the support ! 8)

NAPA auto. My local store let me exchange different lb lifts until I got the ones that worked.

I went to NAPA, the good thing about doing it locally is that you can swap them if it doesn't work out. The first ones I got were too long, the second set were shorter but too weak. The third set worked out just fine.
