PAMAGOO 16-inch Gas Struts for Camper Shells - 45 lb Lift, 15.7" Extended Two-Pack

PAMAGOO C16-15208 are a matched pair of 16-inch gas struts delivering 45 lb (200 N) lift each, designed to replace camper shell, truck cap, and topper shocks for smooth, reliable hatch operation.

These PAMAGOO gas springs are built as a two-pack replacement set for most camper shells and truck caps that use 16" struts with 45 lb force. Each strut measures 15.70" extended and 9.40" compressed, offering a compact fit and consistent lift performance. The kit comes pre-assembled with ball-stud ends so they snap on quickly, making it an easy weekend repair or upgrade.

How do these struts fit my camper shell or truck cap?

The C16-15208 struts match common OEM and aftermarket part numbers used on many canopies and toppers. Check the extended and compressed lengths and the required 45 lb force to confirm compatibility. They include standard ball-stud end fittings that install where the old shocks attach.

• Extended length: 15.70 inches (measured center-to-center)
• Compressed length: 9.40 inches
• Lift force: 45 lb / 200 N per strut
• Interchangeable with listed part numbers (e.g., C1615208, SE150P45M10)

How simple is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes about five minutes per strut for someone with basic tools. Most setups use spring clips or ball studs that release with a flat screwdriver, and the new struts snap into place without additional hardware. No special compressors or hydraulic tools are required.

• Tools: flat-head screwdriver recommended
• Remove old clip or pop the socket off the ball stud
• Snap the new strut onto the existing ball stud until it locks
• Repeat for the second strut; test operation of the hatch
