rating of gas springs
Posted by: kerryedwards on Jan-08-13 5:15 PM (EST)

I talked to Thule and they said that each gas spring was rated at 40 lbs. I will probably try 60 lb springs. I'm not that confident that the customer service rep was giving the correct rating of the spring since 40 lbs happens to correspond to what they say the rack will lift.
