Look through McMaster Carr to appropriately size and select gas struts. You can get them in varying pressures.
I actually did this on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and replaced the rear hatch struts because the brand new struts were not enough to hold it up when it was 5°F outside.
Turns out the weight of the lift at that point on the pivot was over 350 LB (divided by two) so I had to throw in some very high pressure struts, but it works great now in all weather and I don;t have to do pullups to get it down.
That is so cool! So you can leave the bed propped up for bumping around in the truck during the day, and then drop the bed down at night and climb in through the sunroof? That would come close to passing the wife test.... close.
Nice out of the box build. Curious why leave the sun roof?
Yes I have some pics at home, believe it or not they are stainless cooling racks for baking!!!
I looked high and low for something automotive that would protect my Depos and struck out..
So I rednecked my own!
Had them powder coated black.
Yes, in fact that was a major selling point for the wife on this project! On our RTT with annex she could get below to our chem toilet without having to leave the tent.
She wanted the same ability with this setup so I designed it to accommodate her!
RTT is for sale BTW..

I wanted the cockpit to be stock looking, with the sun shade closed you can't tell there is a hatch above you, and it is super quiet no rattles or squeak' s
In the plan to enter from the side door or tailgate with the interior build?

Thats much better than mine I have to reconfigure was looking at Deltas offering but its steep But now that I have a piece of thier gear its really well made. I got the 5in panhard bracket.
Any details on that tent setup? Is it just their gen3 expedition on your roof? How'd you seal it down?
Very interested in the pics of how you did that!!
this is what I did a couple weekends ago. the first 2 are above bigpine, ca on mcmurray meadows road.
the second set is on casa diablo road. I found out the stock 80 and the extra weight does not do very well in snow...
