well the problem is that they have an 850lbs shock and they have an 1150lbs shock. which one is my dilemma because i dnt want it 2 be too strong to the point to where its impossible to get the door down.

I'd go with the 1150lb shock pushing up and the 850lb pulling down, that way you'll only have 300lbs to deal with. Or you could reverse the shocks and make them true scissor doors.
