AUCLIDIS 14-inch 24 lb Gas Struts Set of 2 — 13.98" Ball-Center Lift Supports for Camper Shells & Toolboxes

AUCLIDIS C16-06389 are 14-inch gas struts (set of 2) rated 24 lb / 107 N designed to replace worn or broken lift supports on camper shells, truck toppers, toolboxes, and canopy doors.

These replacement shocks deliver controlled opening and steady support for hatches and lids that rely on gas-assisted lifting. Manufactured to match common OEM interchange numbers, the C16-06389 struts are sized and specified for direct swap-in installations where the ball‑end connectors and force rating align with the original parts.

How do these gas struts match my existing camper shell or toolbox?

The C16-06389 struts are engineered with ball‑center measurements and nylon ball sockets to mirror many OEM lift supports. Use the part number printed on your old strut or measure ball-center length to confirm compatibility before purchase.

• Extended length: 13.98 inches (ball center to ball center)
• Compressed length: 8.90 inches (ball center to ball center)
• Connections: 10mm nylon ball sockets on both ends
• Force: 24 lb / 107 N for steady lift and hold

Will these fit the OEM interchange numbers listed on my original part?

Yes — these struts are cross-referenced to several common OEM codes so they often replace older listings. Check the interchange table stamped on your original cylinder for numbers like C1606389 or SE140P25 to confirm a match.

• Common interchange references: C16-06389, C1606389, C1628554
• Also cross-referenced to SE140P25, SX140P25S10, Lift-O-Mat #025721
• Match force and ball‑center lengths to ensure correct fit
• Use the original part number as the primary replacement guide

How easy is installation and what hardware is included?

Installation is straightforward when the mounting points and ball sockets align with your hatch or lid. The package ships with two gas struts and a concise installation guide to walk you through removal of old supports and attachment of the new ones.

• Package contains: two 14" gas struts and one installation guide
• Pre-fitted 10mm nylon ball sockets snap onto standard ball studs
• No special tools required for most installations — basic hand tools usually suffice
• Confirm mounting orientation (compression vs. extension) before final installation
