Dukuge 713119 Gas Struts – 26in 80lb Replacement for Tonneau Covers & Truck Beds

Designed as a direct replacement part, the Dukuge 713119 gas struts restore confident, controlled motion to your cargo lid. With 26 inches of travel and an 80-pound lift, these struts help smooth the process of opening and closing your tonneau cover, truck bed lid, RV bed undercover, or teardrop trailer hatch. The build uses OEM-inspired tolerances to deliver reliable performance in everyday use. Whether you are loading gear after a long day on the job or prepping for a weekend adventure, you will notice the feel of measured resistance that slows the lid gradually instead of letting it slam shut.

Start by removing the old unit, then align the new strut with the mounting points and secure with the included hardware. The process is designed to be approachable for both hobbyists and professionals, with a straightforward path from old to new.

1. Remove the existing strut using a screwdriver or appropriate tool.
2. Position the new strut and attach the ball studs and mounting hardware.
3. Test the lid in multiple positions to confirm smooth operation.

Reliability and support are part of the design. Dukuge backs this replacement set with 18 months of replacement support, aiming to reduce downtime and maintenance costs. If you need extra mounting brackets, you can purchase the bundle separately.

Common uses include a tonneau cover, a truck bed cover, an RV bed undercover, a teardrop trailer cover, or a basement lid. The 80 lb lift is designed to cover a typical range while still allowing manual control for those who prefer a steady, deliberate motion during opening and closing.
