    I've used him for Cobra trailer gas springs and ASW27 canopy gas springs. His prices are reasonable, delivery was acceptable, and everything I bought worked. They are in Canada, so close enough to the US, and no chinesium required.

    Back when I had an ASW-20 in a Komet trailer, we replaced ours with Bansbach easyLift struts.

    Part number: QS-28-350-001 1300N
