Does anyone know of a quality replacement for the trunk gas struts. The FFR ones crapped out after less than six months. I'd like to buy a set prior to pulling the old ones. Brand and P/N would be handy.
Thanks in advance.
PS, Took the Cobra to the Wheels and Waves car show in Seaside Oregon. It won the Fast & Furious award. Thats 4 for 4 so far.!!

Do a search on Amazon for PN C1608568 there is like a million to chose from. This is the one I bought because I made my own kit as at the time F5 was out of stock. It is all off the shelf stuff if you needed to replace any other pieces of it. https://www.amazon.com/C16-08568-Gsni-5300-20-Motorhome-Basement-AUCLIDIS/dp/B0DFHGWMKZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3II13ATOUSOUG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0Uew3dd9ejSjJ_vz_2yQW57QjqLPhSrz8 zO7og3anVo58_fFv0QC9sAC00CIsQwBENatX9dW5Ueiw0p6DBP sct_zXOGURB3aN1d_3zQ0OK_7CdHOyuzHupv2AmLGPcpV4n0_2 SGtDGQ3gnED3tZCiHy-i-v8IvODHnJoUNzgEOtioKBJSp4UepVipAemVDat1n-twMlR0KmOsst17N_qJhZ43CIE0tMFfLw_xKssLFP8UI4CwVGbV SBZfigFK1OH5xG5NV9m7owppKdKqKMWBTK08BtRH4sCVVLHJdW ZvUc.6HTK5GFRTsVTdQnF-Ok5QLetLifqHoOEIWXrUEv1qvM&dib_tag=se&keywords=C1608568&qid=1758155709&s=automotive&sprefix=c1608568%2Cautomotive%2C458&sr=1-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

Whatever brand of replacement strut you chose ( I like SUSPA)....go up in 5 lb increments until you are satisfied.
I get struts from McMaster-Carr.
