Features
For UWS Side Boxes and UTV Boxes
UWS specifies this cylinder for its truck side tool boxes and UTV boxes. The crossover boxes take a different strut, part UWS-LIFT-CYLIND.
Pneumatic Gas Spring
It does the work of raising the lid and holding it open. Gas springs lose pressure with age, which is why a lid that used to self-open eventually stops.
Clips Onto the Ball Stud and Top Bracket
Attaches to the existing ball stud and top cylinder bracket, so there is nothing to drill.

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.
This is the strut for the smaller lids: the truck side boxes and the UTV boxes, which use a different cylinder from the crossover line. If your side box lid has stopped self-opening or has started dropping on you, this is the part.
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.
