Review on Maxpow Gas Spring/Prop/Strut/Shock (Set of 2) - C1606389 C16-06389, 14" Extended Length, 24Lbs Force Per Prop - Lift Supports/Shocks/Struts/Props/Rods by Jesse Jewett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Used on 5 drawer port freight wagon

They are a little longer than the original racks but fit well. The lid now opens slightly above the vertical. My only concern is that the ends are loose and I don't think they will last long. I will update the rating if they break. They snapped into the existing ball studs without tools, and installation took less than a minute. Make sure you mount them with the shaft down and the cylinder up to allow the oil charge in the cylinder to reach the shaft seals. They will fail quickly if you don't install them properly (this applies to almost all similar spacers.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Some small things
