• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is there a suitable substitute RT622 lid gas strut?

The back lid gas struts have reduced their pressure to hold it up (drops about halfway). The gas strut part is SUSPA C16-27966. SUSPA doesn't give out specifications i.e. gas pressure or lift. These are $105.00 each (210.00 total) to replace from SUSPA.

Anyone know of or used a suitable substitute or another brand that may be cheaper?

I can find pairs on amazon a lot cheaper but don't know about the specs. "gas pressure, etc" of these Suspa units.

Was looking at this, says it has 45lb lift and 16 inch. It is only $20.00 for two of them from Amazon.

If you call suspa they will tell you the psi for the stock lift, you then take that information to use when purchasing a replacement. You measure the old one for lift height and diameter.
Thats what I did for the seat strut on the 2020 model rt's
 
After you learn what the pressure is, look at McMaster Carr for a less expensive re-placement ..... I have PSI 's written on their products ..... Mike :thumbup:
