Gas Assist Struts on Front Cargo Box

Somewhere I have seen a picture of an TAB 400 aluminum front cargo box with a gas assist strut mounted in the center of the lid.  I don't think it was a retrofit.  I might have seen it in a YouTube video of someone's new 400.  Does anyone know if this is new with the 2020 TAB 400's?  Seems like a good idea but there are several thousand types of struts on the market and it doesn't need to be a strong lift strength for that light box lid.

OK, I found the video showing that gas strut!  It was  2020 T@B 400 BoonDock Lite - w/"The Air Force Guy"               
Right near the beginning of his video.

Is the lid on a 400 really that heavy to need a lift?  Ugh.

No, @GatorEgg, it’s really not heavy. It just won’t stay up. I keep a yellow plastic tent peg in the tub and I wedge it into one rear corner of the tub to hold the lid up. It works.
