After 10 years of service my UFS truck box lid fell from vertical open position and the corner hit my head so after bleeding stopped I realized the gas shocks had finally failed. These are exact replacements in fit and function so hopefully I’ll get 10 more years of service. Thanks for good service and product. 595673

The struts are exactly what I needed. The quality appears to be outstanding. I am excited about finding your site as I probably will be needing additional parts for my aging tool box . Installation was simple even though their was no instructions provided. You might need to include instructions for those folks less mechanically inclined. Thank goodness I was raised on a farm! 593063

- Lift Cylinder Recommendation For Truck Toolbox On 2007 GMCThe dimensions of the Replacement Lift Cylinder for UWS toolboxes, part # UWSLIFTCYLIND sound like they are the same as the lifts on your GM Cargo management system. The problem may be how the lift cylinder attaches. The cargo box you have may be a different style or made by a different manufacturer. If the GM toolbox you have was manufactured by UWS, the replacement cylinder may work for you. If you cannot determine that you have a UWS toolbox we may have a solution for you. We do...

- Replacement Lift Cylinder for UWS ToolboxWe do carry a replacement lift cylinder, or shock, part # UWSLIFTCYLIND, and it is designed as a replacement for UWS toolboxes. The replacement ball stud for UWS toolboxes is # UWSBALLSTUD.
view full answer... - How to Install the Replacement Gas Lift Cylinder for UWS ToolboxesTo remove the current gas strut on your UWS toolbox you will simply need to take a flathead screwdriver and pop the clip on either head. This will allow you to pull the strut right off. Once the strut is removed you just have to push the ends of the Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND onto the mounting points until they pop into place. I confirmed this with my contact at UWS.
view full answer... - Length of Replacement Tool Box Lift CylinderThe Replacement Lift Cylinder for UWS toolboxes, part # UWSLIFTCYLIND measures 7 inches in length when fully retracted, and 11 inches long when fully extended.
view full answer... - Will UWS Replacement Toolbox Strut Fit a Husky Toolboxthe replacement strut # UWSLIFTCYLIND is designed for UWS toolboxes. To determine if it will fit on a Husky box you will need to take some measurements. The strut fits on ball studs mounted in the toolbox that are 9.75mm in diameter. For a replacement ball use # UWSBALLSTUD. The strut measures 7 inches in length when fully retracted, and 11 inches long when fully extended.

- Recommendation For Aluminum Toolbox Replacement StrutWe do not carry the Contico brand of tool box but we do offer a Replacement Lift Cylinder, Item # UWSLIFTCYLIND, which works with all kinds of tool boxes because it has a fairly universal fit. This strut measures 10 inches from ball socket center to ball socket center. The strut fits on ball studs like Item # UWSBALLSTUD and it has a 45-lb lift capacity. Let us know if this will not work for you and we will make other recommendations.
view full answer... - Replacement 10-Inch Gas Strut for Lid of Husky Tool BoxWe offer a replacement heavy-duty gas strut with a 10-inch dimension between its ball/socket mounts, part # UWSLIFTCYLIND from UWS which is the item you referenced. This item has a weight capacity of 45-lbs. I could not find a cross reference for the part numbers you provided (thank you) but since the dimensions match up exactly, so long as your tool box lid does not weigh more than 45-lbs (unlikely since it is aluminum) you should be fine using this item in your Husky tool box.
view full answer... - How Does UWS Replacement Lift Cylinder Install to ToolboxI contacted our representative and she informed me that the Replacement Lift Cylinder for UWS Toolboxes, part # UWSLIFTCYLIND, mounts to a ball stud on the toolbox. The replacement lift cylinder snaps or pops on to the ball stud and does not use a tab or clip. If you have a UWS Toolbox and need a replacement lift cylinder, it is recommended to use the UWS replacement parts. The other parts sound like different brand replacement parts.
view full answer... - Replacement Lid Lift Strut for Tool BoxWe do not carry your specific brand of tool box but we do offer a Replacement Lift Cylinder part # UWSLIFTCYLIND which may work for you since often tool box parts like lid-lift struts share common fits. This strut measures 7-inches in length when fully retracted, and 11-inches long when fully extended. The strut fits on ball studs like # UWSBALLSTUD that are 9.75-mm in diameter and it has a 45-lb lift capacity.

- What Tool Box Does Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND FitEasiest way would be to start with the brand of tool box you have. If it's a UWS we have the part # UWSLIFTCYLIND which will fit it. But if it's a different brand we wouldn't be able to help.

view full answer... - Compatibility of UWS Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND With Husky Truck Tool BoxThe UWS Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND is intended specifically for UWS tool boxes with heavy-duty gas lifts. It uses ball socket attachments at both ends as shown in the linked photo. I checked on the Stabilus struts and they appear to use the same type of ball socket but since dimensions were not available for me to compare to the UWS I cannot tell you for sure if the UWS part will work. Part # UWSLIFTCYLIND measures 10-inches from center of socket to center of socket.

- How to Measure for Replacement Lift Cylinder on Tool BoxThe Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND referenced in your question measures 10 inches from ball socket center to ball socket center when it is compressed.

The cylinder measures 7 inches in length when fully retracted, and 11 inches long when fully extended.
view full answer... - Will the UWS Toolbox Lift Cylinder Lift the Lid When the Handle is PulledThe lift cylinders for the UWS toolboxes will lift the lid of a UWS toolbox, but you will need to assist the lift cylinder by lifting the toolbox lid a few inches before the lift cylinder opens the lid the rest of the way. It will not immediately begin to lift the lid once you pull the handle.
view full answer... - Replacement Struts for Payload Plus Truck Bed ToolboxI may have a solution for you, but since we do not carry the Payload Plus brand of truck mounted toolboxes, we won't have anything that will mount directly to the existing mounting hardware on your box. You can use the top bracket # UWS-TCA and bottom bracket # UWS-BCA to install new mounting points on your existing toolbox and then connect those to the # UWSLIFTCYLIND to give yourself gas powered struts for your toolbox. These struts have a compressed length of 7" and extended length...
