Features
For Extra-Wide LBTA Crossover Boxes
UWS specifies this larger cylinder for the extra-wide crossover boxes, identified by LBTA in the part number. The standard cylinder, part UWS-LIFT-CYLIND, explicitly does not fit those boxes.
Pneumatic Gas Spring
Raises the lid and holds it open. Losing that action is the usual sign a strut has aged out rather than failed.
Clips Onto the Ball Stud and Top Bracket
The same no-drill attachment as the standard cylinder, onto the existing ball stud and top bracket.

About UWS
UWS is short for United Welding Services, a truck storage brand in the CURT Group, a Lippert company. The reason UWS catalogs a part like this one at all is the same reason its boxes are worth buying: a tool box is a long-lived thing bolted to a working truck, and the pieces that actually wear out are the handle, the lock, the gas strut, the gasket and the cables. UWS keeps those available as individual service parts instead of treating a worn latch as the end of the box.
The extra-wide UWS crossover boxes carry a longer, heavier lid than the standard line, and they use a correspondingly larger gas strut. Fitting a standard cylinder to one of these boxes will not hold the lid. Check your part number for LBTA before ordering either one.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. This is a genuine UWS service part in factory packaging, not an aftermarket copy, so it carries the fit and the finish the original part left the plant with.
