Todd, Sorry for the extended delay (Six weeks!) in answering this but we do offer a heavy duty lower door strut mounting kit for exactly this purpose. The part #'s are 108653G & 108654G and are $19.50 each. We've been installing these brackets for over ten years with no failures reported.

It looks like over the years with the doors being closed 99% of the time all of that force has bent the mounting plate for this post outward. Is this right? Or were these posts always a little bent out even when new.
