Does anyone know where I can get some of the Suspa gas pistons or something similar. Suspa want $95.00 each for them, online.
Overhead cabinet struts at FT in 2011 were $8.95 each, chech with FT parts.
Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow.
+1 on getting them from FT parts. We had bought a couple "grey market" ones from another source that were a tiny bit cheaper. Those were MUCH stronger force than marked and one caused the attachment to pull free from the cabinet.

ENCORE RV, 2101 NW Stallings Drive, Nacogdoches, Texas has them, check their website.
That's where our "too strong" ones came from, unfortunately.
My 1999 may be a diffrent strut, but I got 30 of them from Encore.

We buy them cheap and carry a few spares.
Cost is 12.45 today. Ordered a dozen. DW won't have to balance the door on her head anymore. Probably should have taken and posted a photo of that.
Larry, was that through MOT or Encore RV?

Try Moore Industrial Hardware in Cincinnati, OH Stainless Steel Piano Hinges, Grab Handles & Draw Latches, Yoke Ends – Moore (http://www.mooreindhardware.com/) They call them gas springs and have about every size in the Springlift brand. The factory may be cheaper, unless prices have gone up.
That 12.45 was FOT plus the 10% Motorcade discount and shipping. I didn't ask the total.
