AUCLIDIS 14-inch 35lb Gas Strut Pair for Camper Shells & Truck Topper — 10mm Ball Sockets, Direct-Fit Replacement

AUCLIDIS 14-inch 35lb gas strut set (C16-10176 / C16-33276) is a direct-fit lift support kit for camper shells, truck toppers, canopies and toolbox lids, supplied as a pair with nylon 10mm ball-socket ends and clear interchange numbers.

These replacement gas shocks are engineered to match common OEM measurements and interchange references so you can restore smooth, controlled opening and secure holding for rear windows, hatches or caps on trucks and campers. Each two-pack includes an installation guide and is backed by AUCLIDIS customer support and a 12-month replacement guarantee. Before ordering, check the original gas strut cylinder for the OEM or interchange number to confirm fit.

How do I know this gas strut will fit my camper shell or topper?

Verify fit by comparing the interchange numbers stamped on your existing strut or by measuring ball-center-to-ball-center lengths. This AUCLIDIS kit lists multiple equivalent part numbers used by popular manufacturers to simplify matching.

• Interchange numbers: C16-10176, C1610176, C16-33276, C1610493 and others.
• Extended length: 13.98 inches (ball center to ball center).
• Compressed length: 8.90 inches (ball center to ball center).
• Ball/socket size: 10mm nylon on both ends.

What lifting force and motion should I expect from these AUCLIDIS supports?

Each strut supplies approximately 35 lb (156 N) of force, adequate for many medium-duty camper shell rear doors and toolbox lids that require steady lift and hold. They provide consistent damping to prevent slamming while supporting the panel in the open position under normal load conditions.

• Rated force: 35 lb / 156 N per strut.
• Smooth extension and retraction for controlled opening.
• Designed to hold typical shell hatches in open position reliably.

How do I install these replacement gas shocks on my vehicle?

Installation is straightforward for most DIYers and professional installers: remove the old struts by popping off the ball-socket ends, align the new nylon ball sockets to the existing studs, and snap them into place. The included guide outlines step-by-step points, but basic hand tools and a second set of hands for support will speed the job.

• Remove old strut: support hatch, detach ball-socket clips.
• Attach new strut: press 10mm nylon sockets onto ball studs.
• Check motion: open/close panel several times to seat sockets.
