Expert Reply:

A gas strut like the Gas Shock - 80 lb Force - 20" Extended, 11.41" Compressed - Black Nitride # 372-2300-80 is designed to replace an existing strut where mounting brackets are already present. If you're adding one completely new, you'll need the mounting brackets # 3691880 and potentially a ball stud like the UWS 10-mm Ball Stud for Toolbox Lift Strut (Qty 1) # UWSBALLSTUD.

I've also linked some of our available tool box parts if that's the application you're looking to use these parts on.

Do you only need 1 side (new) we don't have any? Or need 2 both sides, how are they packaged?

@Jenn The shocks are rated individually so that will depend on your specific application and the weight of the door. The shock comes in manufacturer packaging but we also package and box it here before we ship.
