Overview
This black nitride gas spring strut rod is a compact lift-support replacement for compatible hatch, cover, RV, camper, trailer door, compartment door, and toolbox lid applications. It is commonly referenced as SPD GSNI-5000-60 or LGP6-100-60 and is intended for installations requiring a 10.00" extended gas spring with a 3.00" stroke, 60 lb force rating, and standard 10mm end fittings.
R&P Service Insight
Gas springs need to match more than just the general size. A strut that is too weak may not hold the door or hatch open, while a strut that is too strong can make the panel difficult to close or place extra stress on the mounting points.
- Match the Force: Replace a 60 lb strut with a 60 lb strut unless the application has been intentionally changed.
- Measure Fully Extended: Confirm the original strut is 10.00" from center of socket to center of socket when extended.
- Check the Ends: Confirm your application uses 10mm ball stud mounting points and compatible socket-style ends.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: This gas spring is intended as a replacement reference for compatible SPD GSNI-5000-60 / LGP6-100-60 style applications where the measurements, force rating, and end fittings match.
Vehicle / System Fit: Common applications include RV compartments, camper doors, hatch covers, trailer access doors, toolbox lids, fold-down panels, and other light lift-support uses.
Installation Notes: Gas springs are under pressure. Do not puncture, heat, cut, bend, or attempt to open the cylinder. Support the hatch, lid, or door before removing the old strut.
Performance Insight: The black nitride shaft gives the strut a clean black appearance and added corrosion resistance, making it a strong option where appearance and durability both matter.
Brand & Fitment Note

Application Reference: SPD GSNI-5000-60 and LGP6-100-60 are used as compatibility and cross-reference part numbers for matching applications.
What This Means: This listing is for one replacement gas spring strut rod, not a guaranteed OEM-branded item unless specifically stated on the product packaging or order documentation.
Before Ordering: Verify your original part number, extended length, compressed length, stroke, force rating, end style, and ball stud size before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
When replacing gas springs on a hatch, lid, or compartment door, inspect the mounting hardware at the same time. A new strut will not correct bent brackets, worn ball studs, loose fasteners, or misaligned mounting points.
- Replace in Pairs When Used in Pairs: If your hatch uses two struts, replacing both sides together helps keep lift force even.
- Check Mounting Studs: Make sure the 10mm ball studs are not worn, loose, bent, or corroded.
- Confirm Orientation: Install in the same orientation as the original application unless your equipment manufacturer specifies otherwise.
