How much pressure can you specify? Why not higher than 110lbs? Maybe 120 or 130 lbs? Have you installed this unit yet?
Before you use higher pressure springs, consider the forces being applied to the supports in the wheel well - not only the gas spring supports, but particularly the force exerted on the top of the well by the actuator to overcome the spring (there have been delaminations). Although, if the actuator rips its support out of the well, the gas spring will push out and lock the nose gear. Another consideration is that if the nose gear is shoved out even faster during normal operation, will the wheel and fork push the gear door out of the way, thus abrading the door.
