- SKU: LGP8-200-120

A heavy-duty lift support designed for RV under-bed storage, truck caps, and cargo hatches. Engineered as a high-quality replacement for industry-standard 20" gas props.
This Gas Spring is a high-quality replacement solution designed for heavy-lifting RV and truck applications. Whether you are replacing a failed LGP8-200-120 or a Suspa C16-04351, this strut provides the critical 120 lbs of force needed to safely hold open heavy mattress platforms or fiberglass cargo doors. Built with a black Nitride-coated rod, it is designed to resist corrosion in harsh exterior environments.
Replacing gas springs is a simple DIY job, but requires care due to the high internal pressure.
Compatibility: Direct functional replacement for LGP8-200-120, Suspa C16-04351, and Signature Series SL-23-120.
Vehicle / System Fit: Common on RV bed lifts, heavy-duty truck cap windows, and trailer ramp assist hatches.
Installation Notes: Features 10mm nylon ball sockets with metal safety clips. No tools are typically required for installation beyond a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the safety clip.
Performance Insight: The Nitride-coated annealed steel rod is superior to chrome plating for salt-spray resistance and smooth cycling.
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages
Application Reference: SKU LGP8-200-120 and other manufacturer codes describe the technical specifications (8mm rod, 200mm stroke, 120 lbs force) for compatibility matching.

Before Ordering: Verify your old strut's extended length (measured center-of-socket to center-of-socket) and the force printed on the tube.
