Hey truck guys...need help with my tonneau cover.

[d0n_3d]

I have a 97 Ford F-150 4x4 with the 8 foot bed and a hard fiberglass tonneau cover that opens up to about a 60 degree angle and is HEAVY as hell...it probably weighs a good 100 lbs. Well my shocks that "used" to hold it up, no longer hold it up and I need replacement shocks for this thing but can't find them anywhere. I need heavy duty ones for over 100 lbs so that when I unlock the latch, it props all the way open on it's own. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to look? Thanks.

Call the manufacturer of the cover?

I got it. I didn't realize you could use regular hood shocks on this thing. I got the heaviest duty shocks Autozone has. I'm gonna have to re-locate the brackets a little farther back on the cover because these shocks are a little longer than the originals. The cover was custom made by a place in Ft. Wayne, IN. This setup is easily $1000.
