What exactly are these Lift Assist Gas Struts for my Bus or Vanagon?

These gas struts are designed as direct replacement parts specifically for GoWesty Pop-Top Lift Assist kits. They are engineered to help effortlessly lift and lower your pop-top roof, making camping and access much easier.

How do I choose the right strength for my lift assist struts?

We offer two strengths: 40-pound (Light Load) for lighter pop-top setups and 100-pound (Heavy Load) for those with heavier additions like roof racks or extra insulation. If you're unsure, consider the weight of your pop-top and any accessories you've added.

Are these struts compatible with my existing GoWesty lift assist kit?

Yes, these Lift Assist Gas Struts are specifically designed to be direct replacements for the GoWesty Pop-Top Lift Assist [Bus] and Pop-Top Lift Assist (Basic Kit) [Vanagon] kits only. They ensure a perfect fit and function with those systems.

What year Vanagon or Bus models do these lift assist struts work with?

These struts are compatible with 1968-1991 model years for both the Bus and Vanagon, provided you have a GoWesty Pop-Top Lift Assist kit installed.
