Overview
This black nitride shaft gas spring strut rod is a replacement lift-support component for compatible RV, camper, hatch, cover, truck cap, and compartment-door applications.

R&P Service Insight
Gas spring fitment is measurement-driven. The safest way to match this part is to compare the numbers printed on the original strut and confirm the physical measurements before installation.
Measure Extended Length: Confirm the full open length matches the original support before ordering.
Match Force Rating: Replace an 80 lb support with the same force rating unless the application has been professionally evaluated.
Check End Fittings: Verify the mounting points use standard 10mm ball-style ends.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: This strut is intended for compatible SPD GSNI-5000-80 / LGP6-100-80 style applications where the length, stroke, force rating, and 10mm end style match.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used on hatches, covers, RVs, campers, truck caps, compartment doors, trailer doors, and similar lift-support systems.
Installation Notes: Replace gas springs carefully and support the hatch, cover, or door before removing the old strut. A hatch can drop unexpectedly when a weak or failed gas spring is removed.
Performance Insight: The 80 lb force rating matters. A lower-force strut may not hold the application open, while a higher-force strut may place excess stress on brackets, hinges, or mounting points.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages replacement gas spring strut rod listing.
Application Reference: SPD GSNI-5000-80 and LGP6-100-80 are used as part-reference and compatibility-reference numbers for matching applications.
What This Means: This listing is for a replacement gas spring strut rod for compatible applications, not a guaranteed OEM-branded item unless specifically stated in the product title or packaging.
Before Ordering: Verify part number, extended length, compressed length, stroke, force rating, shaft style, end fitting size, and mounting style before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
If a hatch, lid, or cover will not stay open, drops slowly, or feels uneven from side to side, the gas spring may be weak or mismatched. For paired applications, both sides should be checked so the lift force remains balanced.
Confirm Printed Numbers: Compare the original strut’s printed part number to GSNI-5000-80, LGP6-100-80, or another verified cross-reference.
Check Mounting Hardware: Inspect ball studs, brackets, and mounting screws for wear or looseness before installing the new strut.
Verify Pairing: If the application uses two struts, confirm both sides use the same length and force rating unless the original design specifies otherwise.
