Overview

This black nitride shaft gas spring strut rod is a compact 10" extended length lift support with a 3" stroke and 40 lb force rating. It is commonly used on compatible hatches, covers, RV compartments, campers, and similar applications where the original gas spring measurements and 10 mm end fittings match.

R&P Service Insight

Gas springs should be matched by measurement and force rating, not just by appearance. A strut that is too strong, too weak, too long, or too short may not operate correctly and can stress the mounting points.

  • Length Check: Match the original strut’s extended length before ordering.
  • Force Check: Confirm that 40 lb is the correct force rating for your hatch, cover, or compartment door.
  • End Fitting Check: Verify that your mounting hardware uses compatible 10 mm ball-style ends.

R&P Knowledge Hub

Compatibility: This listing references SPD GSNI-5000-40 and LGP6-100-40 style gas springs. Compatibility depends on matching the original strut length, stroke, force rating, and end fitting style.

Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used for hatches, covers, RVs, campers, compartment doors, and similar lift-support applications.

Installation Notes: Replace gas springs carefully and support the hatch or cover before removing the old strut. A worn gas spring may no longer hold weight safely once disconnected.

Performance Insight: The 40 lb force rating matters. Using a higher or lower force strut may change how the door opens, closes, or holds position.

Brand & Fitment Note

Selling Reference: SPD GSNI-5000-40 / LGP6-100-40 gas spring strut rod

Application Reference: SPD and LGP6 part numbers are used as fitment and cross-reference identifiers for matching gas spring applications.

What This Means: This listing is for one compatible gas spring strut rod. OEM or manufacturer names are used only as application references unless specifically stated otherwise.

Before Ordering: Verify extended length, stroke, force rating, mounting end size, and any original part number markings before installation.

R&P Repair Insight

When replacing a gas spring, it is best practice to compare the old strut side-by-side with the replacement before installation. Small differences in length, stroke, or force can affect hatch operation.

  • Check the Printed Rating: Confirm the original strut is marked 40 lb or an equivalent force rating.
  • Check the Ball Studs: Make sure your existing mounting studs are usable and match the 10 mm end style.
  • Check Both Sides: If your hatch uses two gas springs, replacing both sides at the same time may help keep lift force even.
