Euplokeer 17in 28lb gas struts are a matched pair of lift supports designed to hold and smoothly lift compatible truck topper rear windows and camper shell tailgates.

If your LEER, ARE or Snugtop truck cap rear window or pickup toolbox needs reliable assistance opening and holding in place, these 17.13-inch extended gas shocks offer a straightforward replacement. Supplied as a pair, the shocks provide 28 pounds of lift each and install with basic tools. They are intended as direct-fit alternatives for a long list of OEM and aftermarket part numbers—confirm measurements and interchange numbers before ordering.

Which camper shells and lids are these 17in struts compatible with?

These Euplokeer struts are made to work with many LEER, ARE and Snugtop-style rear windows, toppers and related pickup accessories when the original cylinder matches the listed interchange numbers. Compatibility depends on matching the OE part number and extended length rather than brand name alone.

• Designed for LEER/ARE/Snugtop-type rear windows and pickup toolboxes
• Matches numerous OEM interchange numbers such as C16-02622 and C1615041
• Work with models listed in product compatibility notes—verify your old cylinder number

How do I confirm these gas shocks will fit my tailgate or topper?

Measure the extended length from mounting ball to ball and check the pound-force or OEM interchange number stamped on your current strut. Compare those values to the Euplokeer specifications before purchasing to avoid misfit.

• Measure extended length: 17.13 inches for these struts
• Check pound rating: 28 lb force per strut
• Compare your OE or cylinder part number to the compatibility list provided

What’s included and how difficult is installation?

The package contains two gas struts ready for direct replacement; installation is simple and requires only a flat-head screwdriver to pop off retaining clips. No specialty tools or professional installation are usually necessary, making it a quick DIY repair.

• Includes two gas shocks—one left and one right replacement
• Extended length 17.13 in; compressed length 10.75 in
• Easy installation: flat-head screwdriver to remove and refit retaining clips

How should I choose between different lift supports when replacing mine?

Match three key attributes: the extended/compressed length, the lifting force (pounds), and the OEM interchange number on your old cylinder. Choosing based on these specifics ensures correct geometry and safe operation of the opener.

• Match extended length to your old strut for correct opening angle
• Match 28 lb force rating to maintain proper lift assistance
• Verify interchange/OE numbers listed to confirm fitment

Who this is for: This pair of Euplokeer 17in, 28 lb gas struts is aimed at truck owners, mechanics, and DIYers replacing worn or weak lift supports on LEER/ARE/Snugtop-style camper shell rear windows, pickup toolbox lids, and similar toppers. If you need a direct-fit alternative to specific OE numbers and prefer an easy-install option you can fit with a screwdriver, these shocks provide a practical, economical replacement—just double-check your old cylinder’s measurements and part number first.
