I bought 2 x 225lbs struts and I was wondering how I should mount it to the trailer and especailly to the LID? Seeing that the lid is aluminium should I reinforce were I mount it? Can you please help and maybe also send me photos of how to mount the your struts to lid and trailer? Are they lasting? I dont want to bend or rip the aluminium lid. Thanks

Lid attachment is dead center on 1"square tubing with a rivnut. Tub attachment is 8' from front with bolt on attachment for strut. Used two 175 struts. Lid is steel and about 125 lbs. Tent is about the same.
