So I got the information off of one of the shocks this morning: c16-08054 100lbs 249
One of the shocks I was looking at on Amazon turns out to be what I need: http://amzn.to/1PUcdRt
It just seems like 2 - 100lb shocks is a lot if I understand that it takes 100lbs of force to close each shock, so it'll take 200lbs of force to push the storage door shut. I guess I didn't realize how heavy these doors were :)
One last question, I believe I read there are only 2 styles of mounts for these gas shocks, my MH has the ball joints, I'm assuming the existing mounts ball style will fit these new shocks or should I just go ahead and buy new mounts?
