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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lid that no longer stays up, or that needs a shove to open, has a tired gas strut. Gas springs lose pressure with age and cold, and they are a wear item, not a failure. This is the standard UWS cylinder and replacing it restores the self-opening action the box had when it was new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935848280308,"sku":"UWSUWS-LIFT-CYLIND","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-uws-lift-cylind-hero-front-three-quarter-studio-view-on-white.jpg?v=1785303398","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-replacement-truck-tool-box-lift-cylinder-45-lb-gas-spring-uws-lift-cylind","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
