Cabin Door Lift Assist

[badboy82]

New to this form, I have a customer that has broke is lift assist and wants to change it out and install a gas spring such as you see on SUV back glass doors. Has anyone done this and if so could you share your info with me. I think it can be done and have looked at the McMaster-carr web site and they have what I think I need to make it work. If cant be done then I need to know where we can find the whole assy. at a low cost. I think what happened was it has not been serviced in who knows how long.
