It worked perfectly. . 31 inch 80 lbs struts that I bought on Ebay. your measurements were perfect. only took 10 min to install them. look for strut-your-stuff-here on Ebay. they have all kinds of strut lengths and weights and hundreds of different brackets picked up everything that I needed for $70.
