If your tool box lid, bed cover, or boat hatch keeps closing when you need it to stay open, it's time to change your strut. Replace it with this universal fit gas strut and make your lid operate like new again. Quick, tool-free installation.

Specs:
Note: Always replace your struts in pairs, where applicable. Most lids, covers, or hatches have a strut on each side. Failure to replace both struts can result in a warped or damaged hinge.
Gas Strut with Exceptional Stability
Most gas struts consist of a tube filled with pressurized nitrogen gas, a piston, and rod. The Atlas Lift strut, however, has a dynamic damping groove inside the tube that regulates gas movement across the piston. This ensures your tool box lid, bed cover, or boat hatch stays open when you want it open and shuts slowly without bouncing or slamming. Lastly, in contrast to struts that only have gas in the chamber, a few drops of oil have been mixed in to help seal the piston and lubricate the rod. This allows your lid to move more smoothly as the rod travels in and out of the tube.
How to Find the Right Gas Strut for Your Application
Determining which gas strut is right for your application is easy. All you need to do is remove your worn-out strut and locate the force printed on the side of the tube:
Then, pull the rod out so it's fully extended and take the following measurements:

Hi everybody, my name is Andy with etrailer.com and today we're taking a look at this universal lift support. Now, this is going to replace one worn out or damaged ball and socket gas strut for your truck cover or your boat hatch or your toolbox and more. The dampening technology provides smooth operation that eliminates bouncing or jumping and this is going to ensure frictionless movement in all weather conditions. Now, the arm extends to hold your hatch open and gently compresses while closing and the nylon ball and socket connectors install directly to your existing original manufacturer's fittings. And this nitride coated steel shaft is corrosion resistant for long lasting performance and with this, you will get one lift support. If you are replacing one of the supports that's part of a pair like on your boat hatch or your truck cover, it is recommended that you replace both of those lift supports at the same time, so it might be a good idea to pick up another one.
Now, the connection type is gonna be a 10 millimeter ball and socket and let me give you a measurement on that extended length. And I'm gonna be measuring socket to socket, center of socket to center socket. Let me get that lined up here for you. We're gonna be sitting right at 19 and five eights inches long from center of socket to center socket and the compressed length is gonna be 11 and five sixteenths inches long and then the stroke is going to be eight and five sixteenths inches and the compression in force pounds is 75 to 85 pounds and this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today at this universal lift support.
Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

I called etrailer and talked to Randall V trying to locate a special door shock for my RV. I needed a special length with added pressure rating. Randall spent the neeed time to find a shock to meet my needs. The shock shipped immediately and was received on time and in new condition. Installed and fits and works perfectly!
This is the second item I have purchased from etrailer for my RV with the same excellent results.
I would recommend etrailer to anyone who is looking for RV parts.

The struts fit and delivery was fast. Made in China is always a one to two star deduction.
These worked fine during warm weather, however, when it got cold they quit working and would not hold nor lift the glass lid. These have been replaced with factory units.
just took longer then expected .
So far so good. We will see if they last another winter here in Colorado. The struts we have had in the past seem to fail in the winter time.
They worked perfect. Glad I made the purchase at etrailer
