Looking for advice on heavy door struts for an upholstered door
The normal vans struts don’t hold it up

I have the heavy duty struts purchased through Van's. Since I've purchased mine, there are places you can purchase them for less cost. However, since I already had mine, I've kept up with those places.

You wrote 8/1/16 :I replaced originals with Lift-o-Mat 2218LP made by
Stabiles 2 years ago and have been very happy with them.

Further back in archives Nov.24, 2015 part of a lengthy thread:
I recently bought replacement struts from Bansbach as well. The
original Vans struts still worked but one door started coming down if
the wind hit it wrong. I have a flush latch, aftermarket center cam,
lock, upholstery, etc - not light.

On 3/9/15 I purchased (2) A1A1F50-100-287/600N 10017y1 struts for
$51.89 plus $19.27 S&H.

They installed easily (i.e. throw seemed to exactly fit what was needed
- no compression required.

They now work just right in all respects.

Just another data point.
