Gas Springs available in SK Canada

REposting info about gas struts with an update from today:


From April R, 6/27/17:

"I wanted to give you an update on the Gas struts source.  I just ordered them from Andy, which was a mistake because he is marking them up over 30% to $95 each, so the better source is definitely LS Technologies, even if you have to pay a bit more in shipping."

Prior POST:  This just in from Kathy M in Alberta AB:
"I just wanted to let you know that the gas springs are available from LS Technologies in Saskatoon, SK Canada. 
The originals on my 2007 Prestige were Stabilus Lift-O-Mat 7907RV (1500N force, 607mm extended length, 245 mm stroke), and the Stabilus dealer in Calgary wanted $440.50 EACH (not a typo!), with a 17 week waiting period.  I attached the spec sheet, as an FYI.
LS Technologies was able to build and supply me the next day with a pair that had all the same specs for Cdn$140.00 for the pair  They will ship throughout Canada and the US, and are familiar with the Brenderup trailers, as they regularly supply customers in the US.  (Prices may have changed since I got them several months ago!)
I found out when I went to install the springs that the originals were installed under a slight load (i.e. compressed.)  What I ended up doing was putting the top of the spring on the trailer, and then used the scissor jack from my vehicle placed on a board on the ground to lift the bottom end of the spring until it was level with the ball attachment on the trailer, and then just tapped the board over so that the spring socket slipped on to the ball.
