Barry,
I found this guy years ago when I owned a Lil Snoozy trailer. I had upgraded the mattress to a real one, from the piece of foam that it came with. I needed help in figuring out what strength lifts I would need to hold the added weight . I don't remember how I found him, but I called the owner, and he talked me through the problem. New struts were shipped out to me, and they worked perfectly.
I usually buy replacement lifts for the upper cabinets of our coach whenever I am in Nac. I usually buy them 6 at a time. Just replaced two yesterday. I have contacted the owner, and offered to send him one of my replaced struts, so he can know what we need. I am certain that he would be able to send us replacements easily. I bet his prices are reasonable, too. I will update you after I hear back from him. This guy was really helpful.

Anyone know where I can get these little clips that hold the struts onto the bracket? I removed the bed struts and lost one of the clips along the way. Thanks.

Jor, I recently ordered 2 struts to replace the ones on the bed from First Choice Marine.  They came without the wire clips, I emailed them back and they mailed out the clips to me.  I haven't installed them yet but they are the same part #.  So I know the clips are available, might give them a call.  Here is their description of what I bought:    ATT-SL25-30-1 Attwood Gas Spring 26"X16"C30# 10mm #SL25-30-1
If you can't get them you're welcome to look on my engine for the one I dropped....
But if you can't find any PM me and when I get the coach back from Xtreme next month and change out the struts I should have 3 old clips.

Thanks for offer, Jim but I'll give folivier's idea a try first. If they are available I'll get a dozen or so. Could have sworn I had a few around here but I can't find them. Thanks.
