PAMAGOO C16-08941 Gas Strut 16 inch 28 lb 125 N

PAMAGOO's C16-08941/C16-33278 gas strut set is a pair of 16-inch, 28 lb (125 N) lift gas springs designed to replace worn shocks on camper shells, truck caps, and rear doors to support smooth, controlled opening and closing.

If your Leer, A.R.E., SnugTop or similar pickup camper shell lid or rear window no longer stays open or moves unevenly, these PAMAGOO gas springs restore reliable lift and damping. Each strut measures about 15.71 inches fully extended and 9.41 inches compressed, delivering approximately 28 pounds (125 newtons) of force per strut. The package includes two gas struts and a simple installation guide so one person can replace both in minutes.

How do these gas struts improve opening and closing of camper shells?

Replacing tired or leaking shocks with this PAMAGOO set returns consistent, damped motion so lids open smoothly and stay up without propping. The gas pressure provides steady upward force while the piston controls descent, reducing slams and sudden drops.

• Approximate extended length: 15.71 inches; compressed length: 9.41 inches
• Rated force: 28 lb / 125 N per strut for balanced lift
• Two-strut set replaces both sides for even support
• Compatible with many Leer, A.R.E., SnugTop and generic camper shell applications

Are these struts easy to install without special tools?

Yes — installation is straightforward and typically requires only a screwdriver to release the retaining clips on the old struts. The PAMAGOO replacements snap into the existing ball-stud mounts in most common camper shell setups, so you can finish the swap quickly.

• Estimated install time: about 5 minutes per strut for one person
• Only basic hand tools needed to remove clips or fasteners
• New struts snap onto factory ball studs; retainers included where required
• Comes with an installation guide and access to online help
