PAMAGOO 20" Gas Struts 60 lb (2-Pack) — 19.69" Extended 12.2" Compressed, Snap-On Ball Socket Lift Supports

PAMAGOO 20-inch, 60 lb gas struts (model C16-08260) are heavy-duty replacement lift supports sold as a two-pack to hold and assist lids, hatches, tonneau covers, tanning bed tops and RV storage doors.

If your original lift supports are weak, leaking or no longer hold open, these PAMAGOO gas springs offer a direct-fit alternative engineered to replace common OEM numbers and part codes. Each strut measures 19.69 inches when extended and 12.2 inches when compressed, delivering about 60 pounds of force per strut — suitable for lids that weigh roughly 48–66 pounds. They arrive ready to snap onto standard ball-stud mounts and remove the need to prop open covers manually.

How will these gas struts make opening and closing lids easier?

The PAMAGOO struts provide controlled lift assistance so heavy lids open smoothly and stay supported without slamming. Closing is dampened for safer, quieter operation and reduced wear on hinges. They restore the intended original motion for equipment that has sagged or fallen due to worn-out shocks.

• 60 lb push force per strut for steady lifting of medium-weight lids
• Extended length 19.69" and compressed 12.2" for predictable travel
• Snap-on ball socket for quick, tool-minimal replacement
• Reduces sudden drops and prevents lid slamming

What vehicles and enclosures will these struts fit?

These 20" gas springs work across a wide range of applications where the force and dimensions match the original. They’re commonly used on tanning bed tops, RV queen bed lift systems, boat engine covers, tonneau covers, basement or cargo doors, camper shells and shed lids. Check the extended and compressed lengths and required force to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Sunquest tanning beds and similar models needing 60 lb shocks
• RV bed storage, basement doors and cargo compartments
• Boat hatches, engine covers and truck topper lids
• Tonneau covers or other hinged enclosures with matching specs

Are these PAMAGOO struts a direct replacement for my OEM part?

Yes — the C16-08260 two-pack is designed to replace many common OEM references and fitments. The listing matches several manufacturer numbers so you can cross-check your original part codes or sticker information. If your original strut uses a ball-stud mounting system and the stroke/force match, these will usually swap in without modification.

• Compatible replacement codes include C16-08260, ML34-60 and GSNI-5300-60
• Matches numerous OEM numbers such as 87-60, 4B-291749 and 612605
• Designed for ball-stud snap-on attachment for easy fitment
• Measure original extended/compressed lengths to verify fit

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward and typically completed in minutes by one person. Most users remove the old clips or sockets with a screwdriver and pop the new struts onto the existing ball studs. No specialty tools or professional service are required in standard installations.

• Remove old clips with a flat screwdriver
• Align ball sockets and snap new struts into place
• Two-person help may be useful for very large lids
• Dispose of old, leaking struts responsibly

Who is this for: This PAMAGOO 2-pack is aimed at DIY owners and fleet/service technicians who need a reliable, cost-effective replacement for worn gas springs on RVs, tanning beds, boats, truck toppers and storage lids. It’s suited to anyone who wants a quick upgrade to restore safe, controlled opening and closing for medium-weight hinged panels without buying vehicle- or model-specific OEM assemblies.
