Here are some photos of the tilting bed mechanism (and back battery bay) of my truck.
You can see that the clearance when open is relatively tight….

Can you give me the part no#, brand and extended length info on the lift struts on your “EV S-10”? Thank you so much for your time. Wes
Hi Wes,
The extended length is 35.5″, with approximately 10.5-11″ of extension. About 24-25″ when compressed.

They have replaced the chrome ones with Black Nitride Rods, so the equivalent model would now be:
Gas Spring
GGN38-P1=200 LBS 15.00″ STROKE EF100A-02B W/CLIPS, BLK NITRID
Item: GGN38-200-J

If you will have anything on top of the bed (such as a tonneau cover or camper top) you may need to use ones with more than 200 lbs of pressure. Note that I have retaining clips inside the bed, so it won’t “pop up” after going over a bump in the road.
