Default trunk lid support

Has anybody used a spring/gas strut for their trunk lid support ? If you have what would be the brand name & number? Getting too old to lift that heavy lid.
Thanks;

There are literally hundreds of different lift support kits available.
You will probably have to search for the one that will suit your application.


Here are a few------

I have installed them on a few cars and they work great, really don't know what you are trying to install them on??? (replacing and installing are two different procedures)

Yeah I know I replaced the truck hood one but I need new one for the glass trunk lid. These would be for my 34 ford roadster trunk lid. I was hoping to find out the size, length & pressure. I'm guessing the lid weighs about 30 lbs or so. Maybe less.
Thanks;
