Euplokeer 17.10" 40 lb Gas Strut Pair for Truck Topper Camper Shell - 17in Lift Supports, Drop-In Replacement

Euplokeer C16-06874 is a matched pair of 17.10" extended, 40 lb gas struts designed to lift and support rear windows, camper shell toppers, and pickup truck caps safely and smoothly.

If you need a direct-replacement lift support for a LEER, ARE, or Snugtop-style truck camper shell rear window or toolbox lid, these gas shocks deliver controlled opening and secure holding. Each listing includes two gas struts engineered for common camper-shell dimensions: 17.10 inches extended and 10.80 inches compressed with a 40-pound nominal force. They are sold as drop-in style replacements for specific OEM numbers and offer a fast, simple installation requiring only a flat-head screwdriver.

How do I know if these struts will fit my camper shell?

Compatibility depends on three details: the OEM part number stamped on your original cylinder, the extended length, and the rated force (pounds). Compare those values to the Euplokeer C16-06874 specifications before ordering.

• Check original cylinder numbers: C1606874, C16-06874, C1609450, C16-21824, C16-21704 match these struts.
• Measure extended length of your old support; this product is 17.10 inches extended and 10.80 inches compressed.
• Confirm the force; this model is rated around 40 lb to match lifting requirements.

What tools and steps are required for installation?

Installation is straightforward and intended for do-it-yourself replacement. Euplokeer designed the top and bottom ball-socket ends to snap on and off with minimal tools and no special hardware.

• Tools needed: flat-head screwdriver only to release retaining clips.
• Installation: open the window or lid, remove old gas strut clips, compress and remove old strut, snap new strut onto ball studs, and verify secure clip engagement.
• Time estimate: typical replacement for both sides takes 10–30 minutes depending on access and experience.

What are the build details and performance features?

These gas struts are built as multi-purpose lift supports with corrosion-resistant finishes suitable for outdoor use on truck caps. They provide steady, damped motion and hold open under normal load conditions when matched to the correct pound force.

• Extension/compression: 17.10" extended, 10.80" compressed for common 17" mounting applications.
• Pound rating: approximately 40 lb force for controlled opening and secure support.
• Included parts: two gas shocks per listing, ready to install with ball-end fittings.

Euplokeer also provides guidance: confirm your OE interchange number and pound rating before purchase, and measure the extended length of your existing lift support to ensure a correct match. These steps reduce the risk of incorrect fitment and ensure the proper opening angle and holding strength for your topper or lid.
