Hey Mark, welcome back and thanks for the measurements. I've got two options that are close to the dimensions you provided.
Gas Shock item # 372-5200-40. This one has a compressed length of 9.66" and an extended length of 17". It provides 40 lbs of force.
Universal Gas Strut item # ATL37BR. This one has a extended length of 18-7/16" and a compressed length of 10-11/16". It provides 42 - 52 lbs of force.
