Euplokeer 16in 45lb Gas Strut for Truck Topper & Camper Shell – Pair, 15.7" Extended, Quick-Release Clips

Euplokeer 16in 45lb gas strut (C16-15208) is a pair of replacement lift supports designed to open and hold truck topper and camper-shell rear windows safely and smoothly.

These two gas shocks are built for pickup caps and camper toppers where a 15.70-inch extended length and a 9.40-inch compressed length are required. Each cylinder delivers roughly 45 pounds of force and installs without specialty tools—just a flathead screwdriver. They are ideal when your original lift supports have weakened, leaked, or failed and you need a straightforward, OEM-interchange replacement.

Will this gas strut fit my Leer or Snugtop truck topper?

Euplokeer’s 16in strut is compatible with many common Leer/ARE and Snugtop part numbers, but fit depends on matching the original cylinder’s measurements and interchange numbers. Always compare the extended length, compressed length and OE part number from your existing strut to ensure a correct fit.

• Matches interchange numbers including ARE 14269, C16-15208, C16-22331 and several TAG/OEM codes.
• Extended length: 15.70 inches; compressed length: 9.40 inches.
• Rated around 45 lb of lifting force suitable for mid-weight rear windows and hatches.

How easy is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and designed for DIY replacement. The package contains two gas shocks and standard ball-stud compatible end fittings; you only need a flathead screwdriver to pop off retaining clips and swap the supports in minutes.

• Quick-release clip style makes removal fast and tool-light.
• No specialty press or hydraulic tools required—flathead screwdriver sufficient.
• Swap both sides for balanced operation and consistent lift performance.

What are the exact specifications and what should I check before ordering?

Know the critical dimensions and force before purchasing so the strut matches your topper’s requirements. Confirm the OEM part number from the original cylinder and measure the extended length to avoid fitment issues.

• Extended length: 15.70 in (approx. 16 in nominal).
• Compressed length: 9.40 in.
• Pound rating: ~45 lb lifting force; intended for mid-weight caps and rear windows.

How long will these gas shocks last and what support does Euplokeer provide?

Longevity depends on usage, environment and seal condition; replacing both supports when one fails is recommended to restore balanced lift. Euplokeer offers responsive customer support and a product exchange window to address defects or fitment problems.

• Package includes two piston-style gas lift supports for paired replacement.
• Customer support available via email with a 15-month exchange option.
• Store your original part numbers to speed support and compatibility checks.

Who is this for: The Euplokeer 16in 45lb gas strut set is suited to pickup owners, RV and camper enthusiasts, and service technicians who need an OEM-style replacement for Leer/ARE and Snugtop-style truck caps and camper shell rear windows. Choose this kit if your current lift supports are sagging, leaking, or no longer hold the hatch up, and confirm the OE interchange number and extended length before ordering to ensure a correct match.
