These STC'd PA-18 Aluminum Lift Struts are made with light weight 6061 aluminum and anodized machined end fittings.
Lightweight:
Each Front is 8.7 lbs
Each Rear is 10.6 Lbs
Total Weight for strut set is 38.6lbs
STC'd Direct Replacement Struts:
These struts are direct replacements for stock PA-18 steel (sealed and unsealed) lift struts. Installation uses your current jury struts and connector tube but different clamps (supplied with kit).
Exempt from AD 99-01-05:
No periodic inspection for corrosion is required as there is no way for moisture to be trapped and material has excellent corrosion resistance.
No Painting Required:
Aluminum struts do not require painting. If you don't want to use your current jury strut setups, we also offer, at a discount to normal pricing, a new set of powder-coated steel jury struts and accessories, painted to match the color of the natural aluminum struts.
Strength:
These struts are certified to be as strong or stronger than the original Piper lift struts. The rear strut, however, is not as strong as our heavy-duty rear sealed strut.
