Booster,
Thanks again for the info.
My original objective was to come up with an arrangement that required minimum effort to attach and use.
The Attach-A-Lift does that. No drilling required. Just attach the U-bolts and nuts.
I leave the u-bolts permanently attached. The total cost for everything is less than $50.
The strut assembly can be attached or removed in probably less than 1 minute but I usually take about 2-3minutes.
I used 2 struts so in case one failed there would still be some resistance.
I thought the Ezee-lift was too expensive and required too much assembling.
I also agree with your comment relative to metal springs.
With the linear actuators design I get the DC power from the hitch wires.
I would be interested in seeing your setup.
