Rear trunk shocks/lifts

Guest

Just purchased Hall "Super Trunk Lift" shocks for the rear deck on my 72 pre-L. In taking them out of the box I noticed the part numbers differ slightly, but more importantly I tried to compress each shock and I find I cannot. These shocks were ordered for a car with no wing. In calling Hall he indicated I could send them back, however they "do work great", says Gary Hall.
I'm guessing the trunk lid weighs around 80 lbs. I don't want to take the chance of bending my lid. I believe these shcoks would hold in excess of 125-140 lbs. Has anyone tried these, (part number 4618 0311)
I tried putting one end on the garage floor and putting all my weight on a screwdriver thru the other end. They will not move!!!
