C16-20651 18.7in 40lb Gas Strut for Truck Topper Camper

Euplokeer C16-20651 is a pair of 18.7-inch, 40 lb gas struts designed to support and smoothly lift truck toppers, camper shell rear windows and pickup toolbox lids.

This replacement kit provides two gas lift supports sized for many LEER, ARE and SnugTop-style camper shells and topper rear windows. Each strut extends to 18.70 inches and compresses to 7.9 inches, delivering about 40 pounds of lifting force per cylinder to steady and assist the opening and closing motion of heavy shell windows or caps. The Euplokeer kit is intended as a direct-replacement option for owners who want a durable, easy-to-install support with common OEM interchange numbers for quick verification.

How do I confirm these struts fit my camper shell or topper?

Match three details from your old lift: the part or interchange number, the extended length, and the pound force. Euplokeer lists the compatible interchange numbers and the exact extended/compressed dimensions so you can compare quickly before buying.

• Compare OE numbers: C16-20651, C1620651, C16-33313 and others listed in the product details.
• Measure your current strut fully extended; this kit is 18.70 inches extended, 7.9 inches compressed.
• Verify lift force: this model provides approximately 40 lb of support per cylinder.

What tools and steps are needed to install the Euplokeer gas shocks?

Installation is straightforward and designed for most DIYers. You only need basic hand tools — primarily a flat-head screwdriver — to remove and replace the ball-socket ends on most camper shell brackets.

• Kit contains two gas struts for swapping both sides simultaneously.
• Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry off retaining clips on ball studs.
• Align the socket ends, push onto the ball studs, and ensure clips or fasteners are secure.

What interchange numbers and brands are these struts compatible with?

The Euplokeer C16-20651 supports many common OEM references so you can often use it as a replacement part across multiple topper makes. Still, always confirm by checking your original cylinder’s printed number and dimensions.

• Common interchange references: C1620651, C16-20651, SE187P40, SE187P40S10.
• Also cross-references: C16-33313, Lift-O-Mat #025248, TAG#68272 and #51630.
• Works with many LEER, ARE and SnugTop style rear windows and pickup toolbox lids.

Who is this for?

This Euplokeer gas strut pair is aimed at pickup owners and DIY mechanics who need a reliable, direct-replacement lift support for camper shell rear windows, toppers, and toolbox lids. It suits people who can measure their old strut and confirm an OEM interchange number, want a straightforward swap with minimal tools, and prefer a supported aftermarket option with customer service and a 15-month exchange policy. If your application requires a different length or pound rating, compare those specifics before ordering to ensure safe, optimal operation.
