Hey Gary I was readin' about you wanting to chage pistons on your truck (nice job by the way! Im trying to figure out how to go about putting 2 remote spots on the front hood or air boxes on mine, might be a nice addition to your package for you I'll keep you posted, it's still a young idea, and I'm open to suggestions, but meanwhile...) I was in Burbank at a big seminar the Detriot engineers had, they wanted everyone in the L.A. area to come give them feed back on stuff, and one of the things I asked about was mounting the spare to the gate. I asked them about ribs in the gate for mounting and pistons to lift the weight. They mentioned among other things that the pistons are actually TWO DIFFERENT types. They had a lot of gas pressure problems in testing due to different temps and atmospheres around the country that they had to put in a piston that excelled in cold weather, and a piston that excelled in hot weather to make sure the gate would lift in all conditions. I have no idea what that equates to in pounds of force or any of that propellerhead science, but if you up the pressure by a percentage you may want to measure both pistons and do it equally, good luck
