🚐 Van Owner User Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Van Enthusiast
"Installed the Pro Model on my 2021 Galaxy WA6 minivan and it’s been a game-changer. The 990 N force lifts the tailgate smoothly without any sagging. Installation was straightforward thanks to the threaded ends—no special tools needed. After 5 months of daily use, including in rainy and salty coastal conditions, there’s zero sign of corrosion."

🛻 Fleet Maintenance Manager Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Perez - Fleet Maintenance Supervisor
"We replaced over 30 aging gas struts across our delivery van fleet with the Advanced Model, and the difference is remarkable. The enhanced coating has held up incredibly well against road salt and constant opening/closing. The 1138 N load capacity provides consistent lift, even on heavier rear gates. Minimal labor during installation saved us time and money."

🧰 DIY Auto Enthusiast Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Kim - DIY Mechanic
"I bought the Base Model for my older minivan, and while it fits perfectly and works well, I wish the packaging included clearer compatibility notes. Once I confirmed the stroke length (200 mm) matched my OEM specs, installation took under 20 minutes. It’s now been running strong for 4 months through summer heat and autumn dampness."

🚚 Commercial Ute Operator Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aisha Rahman - Mobile Technician
"As someone who opens and closes my van tailgate 10+ times a day, reliability is key. The ISO-certified build quality shows—no leaks, no stiffness, just smooth operation every time. I opted for the Pro Model due to its premium coating and 30% higher durability, and it’s worth every penny. Even after 7 months of heavy-duty use, it performs like new."

🚙 SUV Owner User Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tom Bradley - SUV Owner
"Used the Lift Assisting Gas Strut on my SUV’s rear hatch, which has a spoiler-mounted design. The customization options made it compatible despite not being a minivan. The strut holds the hatch fully open, which is great when loading gear. Only downside: the black paint has a small chip near the mounting point, likely from initial tightening. Functionally, still flawless."

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations
Automotive Parts Specialist Recommendation
Mark Henderson - Certified Auto Technician & Parts Consultant
"Gas struts are often overlooked, but they play a critical role in vehicle usability and safety. The GALAXY WA6-compatible Lift Assisting Gas Strut stands out with its ISO certification, precise force calibration (990–1287 N), and corrosion-resistant construction. For both DIYers and fleet managers, I recommend the Pro Model for long-term reliability, especially in harsh climates."
Vehicle Modification Expert Recommendation
Rebecca Liu - Automotive Aftermarket Specialist
"After testing multiple aftermarket struts, this product delivers OEM-plus performance. The threaded mounting design allows for fine adjustments, and the 200 mm stroke is ideal for medium-sized vehicles. Its compatibility across SUVs, hatchbacks, and vans makes it one of the most versatile solutions on the market today."
