I expect that is correct. However, I can find nothing on any of the gas springs I have or any that I looked at that indicate what their lift pressure actually is.

When we added a memory foam mattress topper on our bed, I had to put stronger struts on it.........I used 130lb struts........that might be too much but, our bed is very easy to lift and it stays in the up position just fine.......
96Bounder30E... where did you find anything that said what pressure they are. As i said, everything i have has nothing but model numbers on it. they do not indicate the actual pressure. unless i am totally missing something there which is always a possibility.
BTW...The weight rating is usally part of the part number.........why don't you post the part number you have and we can maybe decipher it for you.........
try walt's rv surplus in corona ca. he has tons of them.about $10. all you need to know is the pound rating and type of end couplers..usually a ball socket with a clip to hold it.. the dealer will rip you a new one..
thanks again to all on this forum! (Now if I could just solve what to do about those pesky day/night shades.)
