Lift Supports’ performance and longevity are affected by consistent usage, temperature changes, contact with weather elements, pulling or hanging on the part, and can cause unsafe conditions if not changed when signs of failure are present. Atlas Lift Supports are easy to replace and can be changed in minutes No Special Tools Required. Atlas Lift Supports also provide easy to read install for a quick and easy installation. Make sure to Always Replace in Pairs!
