Default Support struts for seat storage area in cabin

Good morning!!

Going through my to do list while I stare at the snow melting outside my window and one item I am trying to find is new gas struts that hold up the storage seat....honestly not sure what it is called. It's my 2400SCR. And I'm talking about the seat right below the anchor access locker. in the lower cabin area. The seat lifts up, specifically when you are using the area for a bed. But the pistons are toast so it won't stay up. Tired of having to shove a box in there or something to keep it up and would like to fix. Can't seem to find a part number or anything for these. I did find some generic on Amazon. Anyone know if these are "special" in any way or just find something that matches up size wise. Thanks!!

Remove it and take it to an auto parts store where you can match it up by length.

Hi folks, I have the same problem with struts, unfortunately the previous owner removed them and put in 2 chains with hooks!
Does anyone have an idea of what they are?

I have a pic of the original i took off. I ended up just going to the auto store and got something close but here are the original part numbers. You can get on Amazon I believe.

I believe the last number is the lift force. Yours are 40 lb
