Product Overview

Gas Spring / Lift Support / Black Nitride Strut

Two Pack LaVanture Trailer Gas Struts - 85 lb Force - Black Nitride 8mm Rod

Pack of two replacement LaVanture gas springs for matching lift-support applications requiring an approx. 2.44" pinhole-to-pinhole length, approx. 8.5" stroke, 8 mm rod diameter, and 85 lb force rating per strut.

Product Details & Specifications

• Measure Pinhole-to-Pinhole: Measure from pinhole to pinhole or center-to-center on the original strut.
• Match Pressure: Replace with the same 85 lb force rating unless the application has been specifically engineered for a different pressure.
• Check Both Ends: Confirm ball sockets, eyelets, brackets, and mounting hardware match your original setup.
• Replace in Pairs When Applicable: If your application uses two gas struts, replacing both sides at the same time helps keep lift force even.
• Inspect Mounting Points: Check ball studs, brackets, screws, and hinges for looseness, wear, or bending before installing the new struts.
• Confirm Travel Range: Make sure the approx. 8.5" stroke matches the required opening travel so the strut is not overextended or bottomed out.

• Matches black nitride gas spring applications where this finish is required
• This listing is for a pack of two LaVanture LGP8-244-85 gas struts, commonly referenced as 244-85 gas springs. Each strut is used as a replacement lift support where the original gas spring matches the approx. 2.44" pinhole-to-pinhole length, approx. 8.5" stroke, 8 mm rod diameter, 85 lb force rating, and compatible end fittings.
• Gas struts should be matched by measurement and pressure, not by appearance alone. A strut with the wrong length or force can keep a lid from closing, fail to hold it open, or place excess stress on the mounting points.
• Measure Pinhole-to-Pinhole:
• Measure from pinhole to pinhole or center-to-center on the original strut.
• Match Pressure:
• Replace with the same 85 lb force rating unless the application has been specifically engineered for a different pressure.
• Check Both Ends:
• Confirm ball sockets, eyelets, brackets, and mounting hardware match your original setup.
• These gas struts are intended for exact-replacement style applications where the part number and measurements match. Verify before ordering.
• Vehicle / System Fit:
• Suitable for compatible trailer, RV, camper, hatch, lid, compartment door, trunk, and lift-support applications that require the listed measurements and force rating.
• Support the door, lid, hatch, or panel before removing the old gas strut. Gas springs are pressurized and should not be opened, cut, heated, or modified.
• Performance Insight:
• The 85 lb rating is the force output of each strut. Using a lower rating may not hold the panel open, while a higher rating may make the panel difficult to close or overload the mounting points.
• Selling Brand:
• Application Reference:
• Trailer, RV, camper, vehicle, hatch, trunk, and compartment references are fitment categories only. They are not a guarantee of fit without measurement confirmation.

Compare extended length, compressed length, stroke, force rating, end fitting and mounting geometry with your existing support. A matching force rating alone does not establish fitment.
