Review on Suspa C16 08055 Force 120 Springs by Adam Hogan

BACKGROUND: Traded TT for a new 2016 FR Wildcat. Mattress was very good with pillows BUT. We missed the 4 inch gel topper we had at TT. The topper came from Sam's Club for $99 and even came with a new mattress and pillow when we added the 4 inch gel top. so heavy the gas struts couldn't lift it and it took two of us to put things in and out of the under bed storage. SOLUTION: FR uses 80# gas shocks and it turns out that changing to a taller one is possible without replacing the ball mounts. We found the best deal on these 120# replacement shock absorbers, and now the wife can raise the bed with one hand (and she stays). We considered 150# shocks but read somewhere that they might be too hard to close so we went with 120#. Also, I was concerned that the existing brackets would be overstretched, so during installation I loosened the brackets and applied Gorilla Super Gel (fairly sparingly), then re-tightened. Let it dry and with a simple click release swap we removed the 80# and placed the 120# in the same spot. It has been 3 months and about 35 days of camping since the exchange and I am happy to report that this change has been a great success.
