86cfm is plenty - but don't have one pulling & one pushing... Use a passive air intake (down at the bottom of the fixture) both fans at the high point pulling hot air out; try to ensure you're not restricting the intake (lots of info on how to size an air intake can be found on google).

As for the gas charged shocks - Bet you'd find they're useable, but you might have to play with the moment arm a bit - becomes a trade off between opening enough vs opening/closing easily... Betcha bandit could make you a pretty drawing to show what I'm trying to say...
