two 120 pounders... would that be pretty difficult to close once the hatch was opened?

The pair of 120s might be too much, that's why I ordered the pair of 101s to test. They shipped today by USPS from New York, so they should be in my hands tomorrow or Monday.

I have a spare set of OEM ones from Crashy. I did a test today where I measured the compression force at ambient (72F) and then again after putting one in the freezer for an hour (20F). At 72F the compression force was 80 lbs. At 20F it decreased to 72 lbs.
