How to select the correct Universal lift support

1 - What is the extended length of the lift support you are trying to replace? 

(Extended length is measured in inches from center to center of the Connectors; see the diagram)

2 - What type of connectors are on the lift support you are trying to replace?

3  -  What is the force (in pounds) of the lift support you are trying to replace?   

There are markings on the lift support you are trying to replace that show the pounds force in Newtons.  These markings include a series of numbers ending with “N”.  Conversion for Newtons “N” to pounds “#” is (xxxN/4.45)
