Common questions
What is the mounting pattern?
The base bolt pattern is 2-5/8" square, centre to centre in both directions, and the upper pivot accepts a 1" wide tube.
Is the hardware included?
Yes - pan head bolts for the 1" tube and socket head bolts for the base. The counterbores keep every fastener recessed flush.
What will hold the panel up once it tilts?
Work it out on our gas spring calculator. Put in the length and weight of the panel, how far you want it to open and where the strut mounts land, and it gives you the force, stroke, extended and compressed lengths to order.

Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
