ARANA C16-08568 20" Gas Lift Struts - Perfect For Trucks, RVs, And Boats - 20 Lbs Capacity - 2Pcs Set Review

Purchased these to replace the 23 year old set on my RV bed which had failed years ago. These things simply snap in place once you remove the old ones. The 120's may have been a bit overkill but I have a queen sized 11" pillow top mattress. These struts lift it with ease. Almost need to sit on the edge of the bed to put it down. Hopefully, these last longer than whatever years is left on this old RV.

Operation of the lifts are extremely inconsistent under compression the lifts have extremely tight spots. I’m hoping over time this will subside over time but right now I honestly could not recommend them. I’m using them to lift a rear window on my camper shell. I may need to replace them if I see that they are causing any damage to the brackets holding them to the shell.

These things are great quality so far. Installed them to open my engine hatch on the boat and so far have been working out fantastic!

Bought to replace the windshield arms for our CanAm and these work better than the ones that came with it. The struts may require frequent lubrication to function properly!

Fits by just clipping it in the old mounting balls.Used on my truck tonneau.Very strong lift for a heavy tonneau. The gas lift may leak over time, causing the struts to become less effective.

I used these to replace old 100# lifts under our king size bed. They worked great. Before with the 100# lifts it took one person to hold bed - heavy to lift, and another person to get under and grab blankets/sheets/etc. I suspect the old lifts were also worn out even though still had some compression. However, with these 150# lifts one person can lift the bed with one hand and it will stay up. Then it is easy to push down. Have not taken on trip yet, but so far very happy with them. They fit…

I purchased this product to replace my gas strut for my Toyota Tundra's tonneau cover and encountered a simple issue in installation. it's just the lock clip that over bent when I'm installing it. Prior to receiving this product, the executive customer agent named Mina, send an email checking on the status of the delivery which is really an special service from a company. So, I emailed her back saying that I encountered a minor issue upon installation which probably its my fault and not the…

Ordered a pair of the 45lbs to replace the gas struts for the trunk of my 93 Nissan 240sx convertible. These were a little bit longer when extended than what I needed so I used a ratchet strap to compress the struts to install. Once installed, they worked fine. These struts are will not fully open the trunk by itself once you pull the trunk release lever. However, they will pop the trunk open a little and will push it up after you lift it about halfway. They do hold the trunk open well. It's…

I used these to replace the ones in my 2005 Scion XA rear door. Slightly too much force, but my door definitely opens up and stays open now. I just measured what my door pistons currently min and max at for length and picked these by estimating the force with leverage in mind.I was a little surprised they came with the ball ends and washers, but no nuts. Luckily I had 4 of the exact nut that was needed. Drilled out the doors riveted ones and put them in.They clip in the fittings very easily…

These work great! We switched out the RV bed for a nice comfy residential queen bed. Same size of bed but just a little heavier. So we wanted to beef up the bed lift also. Although after a few months they were no longer holding up the bed. I contacted the company and within HOURS they had replied back. Since I had only had them less than a year and with very little use (no camping due to Covid 😏) the company is replacing them FANTASTIC COMPANY! I highly recommend these lifts. Super easy to…

Took longer to unpack than to install. This was a replacement not a new install. They just clicked in place. That's my feedback!

I am always easy when opening doors although the end broke off two days after installing one. I used the end from the one I replaced. we will see how long it lasts.

We bought too strong of struts and Aranalifts' customer service was awesome. I was able to send them a few pictures of what we were trying to do and they gave us good advice and sent us new struts without having to send back the previous ones. We needed 67lb struts to lift our Queen size bed from one side in our RV. Thank you guys so much for being a great company!

Ordered theses for cargo doors, weighed each door like described and these were supposed to hold up, did not even come close to holding. Will try again after returning these. To bad great value

Perfect replacement for my Snug top camper shell. Actually better than original. They are stronger and work perfectly. You don’t have to worry about the rear hatch only opening partially. WillBuy them again when needed.
