    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New roof lifting struts installed on 2009 Hawk

    MakersTeleMark. Do you have four 40# struts? Trying to get a sense what strut I should get if I were to just get two.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Making a Ranger 2 Lighter

    Thanks Pods. I agree with you about first looking at the interior. A 50 lbs weight savings alone doesn't seem worth the $ and hassle of building a new floor pack. However the extra insulation and the ability build the floor pack to the exact dimensions of my truck is worth consideration...
