    i knw it seems strong..but.. i was reading the ones that said they were better in daily use..and seeing i drive my car and need to open my door 5 times a day...i figured hey...guess these are what i should get.



    and about the battery issue. ive had them on for a year. no problems. however, i would recomend getting a new battery if you're is relativly old. mine was, and it gave me trouble. but once i got a new one, no problems what so ever.

    You can pop doors with just 15lbs. I've been using 15's DAILY for 2 years, no problem from autoloc. I've seen 15 lbs. on f-150 and suck. You really only need 35lb plus if you ur using then on a old hot rod or hoods.

    it all depends on how you rig up the pulling mechanism fo rhte latch, and where you place the popper at.

    I have 35s, and it pushes the door out abou the length of my elbow to hand, but make sur eyou lubricate the solenoids also, my passenger side is stuck right now, and i had to do it to me driver side once also.

    35 is more than enough. I've owned about 5 shaved vehicles all with 35s. For mini trucks or sport compacts this is fine. If you're going to shave a full size or a street rod that have 11ty bajillion pound doors then you would want something stronger. IMO it being a daily driver doesnt matter a bit.

    they are around 2o bucks for hte pair, its basically a plate that has a shaft on it with a rubber thing on the end, there is a spring behind it and it screws into the plate, you rivet it to the door, and when yuo close it, it compresses the spring and when you hit the button on the remote for hte solenoid it aids in "popping" the door out



    now give me my plus 1 bitch lol. jk
