Overview
This listing is for one black nitride shaft gas spring strut rod used as a replacement lift support for compatible hatches, covers, RVs, campers, and compartment applications. It is commonly referenced by SPD GSNI-5000-10 and LGP6-100-10 and should be selected by matching the original gas spring’s extended length, stroke, force rating, and 10mm end connection.
R&P Service Insight
Gas springs are measurement-sensitive parts. A gas spring that is close in appearance can still be incorrect if the force rating, stroke, or end connection does not match the original installation.
- Measure Extended Length: Measure the original gas spring fully extended from center of end fitting to center of end fitting.
- Match Force: Replace a 10 lb gas spring with the same force rating unless the application has been re-engineered.
- Check Ends: Confirm the mounting points use compatible standard 10mm ball ends before ordering.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for applications that match SPD GSNI-5000-10 or LGP6-100-10 dimensions and force requirements.
Vehicle / System Fit: Used on compatible RV, camper, hatch, cover, compartment door, and lift-support systems.
Installation Notes: Support the hatch, cover, or door before removing the old strut. Gas springs can no longer safely support a panel once disconnected or worn out.
Performance Insight: The 10 lb force rating is intended for lighter lift-support applications. Too much force can make the panel difficult to close; too little force may not hold it open.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages replacement gas spring listing.
Application Reference: SPD GSNI-5000-10 and LGP6-100-10 are used as replacement and compatibility reference numbers.
What This Means: This listing is for one compatible gas spring strut rod, not a guaranteed OEM-branded item unless specifically stated on the product packaging.
Before Ordering: Verify extended length, stroke, force rating, end style, mounting ball size, and quantity needed before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
Weak or failed gas springs are commonly replaced when a hatch, cover, camper door, or compartment panel will not stay open. Always compare the markings on the old gas spring and measure the part before ordering.
- Length Check: Confirm the original unit is 10" extended length.
- Stroke Check: Confirm the original stroke is 3".
- Force Check: Confirm the original force rating is 10 lb or 45N equivalent before replacing.
