Gas springs under bed?

My king bed came with 2 80lb gas springs to help with opening the bed storage compartment and hold it open. Soon after buying the rig, we picked up a 3" memory foam mattress topper. It makes the bed great, but the storage springs will not support the new weight of the topper and mattress.

I'm finally going to do something about this. Should I just replace the 2 80lb gas springs with something stronger? I'm figuring I added ~30lb by adding the topper.

anyone tackled this problem?
