Where to buy *really* long gas struts?

[Dan Grec]

HI everyone,
I'm designing a custom pop-top, and I want to use gas struts kind of like the following:

I want the struts to be really long so I have tons of angle on them when the roof is "up"

So far I've only found struts to a max of 44" when fully extended.
Does anyone know where I can buy struts that are 50" or even 60" long?

Thanks,
-Dan

You might try https://store.easylift.com/. They have custom order struts and may be able to help you.

Keep in mind the taller you make it the bigger negative impact of wind.

Be sure to do research, research, research and then more research when calculating gas strut length, force, angle. I decided to change the weight of my AT Chaser lid, which required different gas struts mounted in different places. It cost a fortune as I went through 3 different cycles of trying and still ended up with not quite right!
