ARANA 10.5 inch 25 lb Gas Struts for Truck Tool Box & RV

ARANA 10.5-inch gas struts (25 lb) are a two-piece kit that replaces worn lid supports on truck tool boxes, RV cabinets, and similar lids to provide smooth, reliable opening and hold at about 20–30 pounds of load.

These aftermarket gas springs are built to match common commercial tool box fittings while offering long life and weather resistance. Each strut measures 10.5 inches extended (center-to-center) and compresses to 6.7 inches, supplying roughly 111 N (25 lb) of lift so lids stay open without slamming. The sealed carbon-steel body withstands outdoor exposure and has been cycle-tested for durability, making it a practical option for replacement or upgrades on trucks, boats, RVs, and household storage lids.

Will these gas struts fit my truck tool box or cabinet?

ARANA gas struts are made to be drop-in replacements for many popular brands and styles. They include 10mm pre-attached ball ends and match common center-to-center mounting dimensions used by Weather Guard, Husky, Better Built, UWS, Delta, and Dee Zee boxes.

• 10.5" extended / 6.7" compressed center-to-center measurements
• Pre-attached 10mm ball end fittings for direct swap
• Compatible with tool boxes, RV cabinets, boat hatches, and DIY lids
• Reuse original brackets or purchase universal mounts if needed

How strong are these struts and what lid weights do they support?

Each strut delivers about 111 N (25 lb) of force, intended to support lids in the 20–30 lb range depending on hinge placement and lid geometry. Proper positioning and two-spring installation balance lift and holding force to prevent sag or over-extension.

• Rated force: ~25 lb (111 N) per strut
• Recommended lid weight: 20–30 lb (use two struts for even support)
• Hinge and mounting location affect effective lift
• Tested for 50,000+ cycles for consistent performance

Are these gas springs weather‑proof and durable for outdoor use?

Yes — the sealed carbon-steel construction resists moisture and temperature changes, so the struts remain functional in rain, snow, and cold. ARANA has cycle-tested these units to ensure smooth extension and reliable support over extended service life.

• Sealed body to keep out contaminants and moisture
• Carbon steel construction for strength and longevity
• 50,000+ cycle testing for sustained performance
• Suitable for truck beds, boats, and RV exteriors

What’s included and how easy is installation?

The kit contains two gas struts with 10mm ball ends already attached, plus an instruction guide and an after-sales contact card. No mounting brackets or screws are included, so reuse your original hardware or buy brackets separately; installation is a straightforward DIY task that usually only requires a screwdriver and basic measurements.
