AUCLIDIS C16-11028 12in Gas Strut – 40lb Lift Support Kit for Truck Toolboxes, Set of 2

When a toolbox lid, camper shell, or topper stops lifting with ease, AUCLIDIS C16-11028 12in gas strut offers a dependable, non-medical solution to restore smooth operation. This 12-inch lift part provides a measured, controlled motion, helping you access tools and gear with less effort and more confidence during everyday tasks.

Key specifications matter for fit and performance. The strut delivers a 12.20-inch extended length and an 8.66-inch compressed length, with nylon ball sockets at both ends for straightforward mounting. It exerts about 40 pounds (178 N) of lifting force, designed to support typical toolbox lids and doors without sudden shifts or drops. The kit ships as a two-pack, giving you a ready-to-install pair for both sides of a lid or canopy, or for extra reliability in high-use areas.

The design emphasizes consistency and reliability. Expect a steady lift, a controlled hold when the lid is raised, and smooth, predictable operation as you swing from storage to access. The materials and geometry are chosen to balance strength with lightweight handling, making routine top-access tasks more comfortable in day-to-day use.
