Bay Door Lift Weight?

Approx how much lift should the bay door need to raise it?

Thanks Craneman. How much weight are you lifting when you open the door, or are the struts doing all the lifting?

I am lifting, but could not tell you how much weight. They do not lift themselves on mine. The springs came from Fortravel and are only a couple of months old.
