Pamagoo C16-09209 16 Inch 38 Lbs Shocks

PAMAGOO 15.7" 38 lb gas struts are replacement lift supports designed to restore smooth, reliable opening and holding power to truck cap windows, camper shell lids, and toppers.

If your camper shell, topper, or truck cap window no longer stays open or lifts unevenly, these PAMAGOO gas springs bring back the original performance. Each strut provides about 38 pounds of force and fits many common part numbers and models, making them a direct-fit replacement without complex modification. They arrive as a two-pack and install quickly using only a screwdriver to remove and snap on retaining clips.

Will these struts fit my truck cap, camper shell, or topper?

These PAMAGOO struts are made to match popular OEM and aftermarket interchange numbers so they replace original worn shocks directly. Check the stamped or printed part number on your old struts or measure center-to-center lengths to confirm fitment.

• Extended center-to-center length: 15.7 inches
• Compressed center-to-center length: 9.4 inches
• Rated lift force: 38 lbs per strut (supports ~30–42 lbs lid weight)

How easy is installation and what tools are required?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes under five minutes per strut. You only need a standard screwdriver to release the retaining clips on the old shocks; the new PAMAGOO struts snap into place on the existing ball studs.
