ARANA 10 inch 60 lb Gas Struts for Truck Tool Box & RV

ARANA 10-inch 60 lb gas struts are a two-piece set designed to support and smoothly lift heavy lids on truck tool boxes, RV cabinets, hatches and custom boxes.

Each strut extends to 10 inches and compresses to 6.46 inches, offering a 3.54-inch stroke and a 60 lb (254 N) support rating recommended for lids between about 48–66 lbs. Built with corrosion-resistant finishes, they are engineered for reliable action in outdoor conditions like rain, snow and cold weather.

What makes ARANA struts more durable than originals?

ARANA focuses on stronger materials and refined finishing to improve longevity and smoothness of motion. The finish and seals are chosen to resist corrosion and maintain consistent gas pressure, helping lids open and hold reliably in changing weather conditions.

• Corrosion-resistant exterior finish for outdoor use
• Sealed gas cylinder for consistent lift over time
• Precision manufacturing for smooth extension and retraction

Can these struts be used for other projects beyond truck boxes?

Yes—they’re versatile for many applications that need controlled lift and hold. Common secondary uses include RV overhead cabinets, boat hatches, tanning beds, toy boxes and custom-built storage lids.

• Suitable for boat hatches and RV cabinets
• Works for custom DIY boxes and hobby furniture
• Great for replacing worn or broken original gas shocks
