Regarding the struts, I found the Stabilus Lift Supports 4B-877865 which are just shy of 13" collapsed and 22.3" extended (which is close) but unknown compression force. Any thoughts on compatibility would be appreciated, thanks.

Sucks all those part #'s no longer available, but LMC does sell a complete kit for $60. A little more then piecing it together no doubt, but at least it should all work.

I bought 8 of those studs way back when this thread first got some steam. Never bought the struts though and have long since misplaced the studs (Pea Brain here haha), but that being said I have to agree 60 bucks seems like a decent price to do it up right.
