    Looks great!

    What exactly did you need to change?

    How does the lift force feel? Did they tell you what the force rating is?

    Yes please, Ian. If you can post up the exact model number and details of what you ordered, that would be ace. I think Nick Mann would be after a set too, but at higher pressure rating to lift his heavier boot lid.

    What Nev said! I have taken several lumps out of my head on the tailgate in the winter as it falls slightly. I've got a block of wood in the boot to hold it up in the cold which is not ideal! When you say it stops at any height you want, does it feel like the friction is stopping it rise or stopping it fall?

    Give them a call . Ask to speak to Nathan . He was very helpful.
