Lift support
Lift support is a type of gas spring which is different from typical metal spring. Its working principle is that a compressed gas is contained in the cylinder and compressed by the piston to produce elastic force. And Lift Supports are the most common gas springs in the marketplace.
DESCRIPTION
Gas charged lift supports are energy storage devices that create energy by compressing gas inside a cylinder. When closed the energy is stored. When opened the energy is released to raise a hatch, hood, liftgate or trunk, holding them safely in an open position.Excellent Gas Charged Lift Supports are the premium do-it-yourself replacement support for your car or truck.

Lift supports normally store a gas charge of 1,500 psi, therefore they cannot typically be compressed by hand.
Lift Support usage can be broken into two categories: Automotive specific applications and Universal applications.
Lift supports are pressurized cylinders that are used to support hoods, hatches and rear window glass in automotive applications.
