Re: need source for long, weak compression springs

We are using the springs inside telescoping tubes. We are also considering gas springs, but would need two or more in a stack to compress down to our required height (29") and extend as far as we need them to go (70"). The springs can be weak, as they only will be lifting about 2 pounds of telescopic tubing and a hook. Thanks for your ideas and input!
