Re: SnugTop Lid Power Lift Kit??????
I'm not too familiar with snug tops or the aftermarket "lift kits" available for them but I think a linear actuator with some gas shocks to assist would be your best bet. Linear actuators aren't cheap though, try to get one from a surplus place if you can. You'll probably need a relay to power it too.

You ever watch the TV show "Monster Garage"? They do this kind of stuff all the time.
