[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 365425, member: 7956"] Well simple physics will tell you if you have the output of the strut exerting force further away from it's pivot it will lift the frame easier. But this goes to poop hell if they are simply not strong enough. Try having the top section mounted much higher up/further out on the frame. The strut would probably need to be orientated the other way then ie bottom to the right and the top to the left. Have a look how a bonnet is mounted. The further out you mount it the less exertion required from the strut, but the smaller the amount of opening you will have. Or you could just buy more powerful ones since you have the mounts arranged and happy with angles of openings etc (probably smarter) [/QUOTE]
