Falcon gas strut info?

[coho51]

I was driving down the road a few months back when I saw a small Four Wheel Camper for sale. I have a extra cab Tacoma with a 6' bed and the man said it was a Finch camper which you all know is only a 5' platform. Well I didn't care cause it is in really good shape and the price was good so it came home with me. The very next week it went to Idaho on a steelhead fly fishing trip with me and all I can say is it's perfect. It was a shell model and I put a ARB fridge and a duel battery set up in it.i wish I knew how to post pics. So here's where I need help, while I am still somewhat strong for a 60 year old, raising the roof is a chore. I also found a tag on the cushions that said Falcon so I don't know which I really have. But I can't find anything on the gas struts about a Falcon. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to put gas struts on?

Well... was going to advise but I think first read from this string. I finished my install ...lengthy... just before winter set in. I can say it has made an immediate difference... really good for the structural integrity of the numerous lifts and drops... so read through and be welcome to ask questions.
