Revainrating 3 out of 5

What you get may not be accuratly depicted!

20 inch 200 LB Gas Prop Struts ShocksThe first issue is with the ball connectors. The struts I received had different ball connectors than what I thought I was getting. See the pictures: The struts on the left is what I was replacing and is what I was expecting the ball connectors to be. The OEM ball connectors are much easier to install or remove than the ball connectors on the struts I received. In fact I had to ground down a screw driver in order to get the clips to release on the replacement struts.The second issue is there are no markings of any type that tells you what the capacity is of the struts. So you have to hope they sent you what you ordered.I have not tried to install the new struts but if after I get them installed and if they work as intended then I will upgrade my review accordingly.By the way it looks like the struts I received are replacements for automotive applications and look to be much heavier duty struts than the ones I replaced.Undated review as promised. The struts did work out but if I ever have to remove them then that will not be easy with the type of ball connectors on the end and limited space I have to work. They appear to be well made and if not for the issues of not being able to identify the capacities of the struts with markings and the ball connectors being so small I would have given these 5 stars.

Pros
  • Rv lift bed storage under bed
Cons
  • May be too expensive
