## Overview

The Suspa C16-08316 gas props are premium 20-inch lift supports delivering 40 lbs of force each, engineered to OEM standards and made in the USA. Designed for camper rear windows and tonneau covers, these durable gas-charged struts ensure reliable, long-lasting lift performance with easy installation, making them the go-to upgrade for professionals seeking quality and strength.

## Description

Gas Charged Lift Supports are energy storage devices which create force by compressing gas inside a cylinder. Unless shown as a universal, each Lift support listed in this desertcart item is specifically manufactured to OEM specifications for the listed application. Each support is tested to perform as well as the original units and in many cases to exceed the manufacturers specification. Lift Supports lose pressure over time, even sitting on shelves in most auto parts stores and many of the inventory liquidators on the web. *Please Note* If your existing part number does not exactly match this part number internal components could be different.

Review: Great Quality - These were very easy to install with no problems whatsoever. Took about 5 minutes to install both of them. They were replacements for the old one that had worn out on the windshield of my Polaris Ranger. I really think they are stronger then the old ones. Will buy again if ever need to.
Review: Work in conductive applications like Glass-Tite truck caps - Used these to replace originals that came with my Glass-Tite truck cap (Suspa 162000/162001, now known as C16-12476A). I got these because they were cheaper, are the same length, and are only 6lbs weaker (40lbs vs 46lbs). Besides, the correct replacement also doesn't come with electrical terminals and is hard to find. I reused the conductive ball sockets with electrical terminals (for the center brake light) from the old ones, and they work fine and support the door. If your old sockets are no good then this trick may not work. Will update review should the struts develop any issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a queen size bed in a travel trailer, will this work to lift the bed to get to the storage area? Do I need any other hardware?**
A: If the bed already has a lift cylinder you should measure the old one and check the lifting capacity of the old shock. It should be written on the side of the cylinder. If the bed does not have a lift cylinder already installed, you will need to add and install the ball mounting brackets on each end of the cylinder. Will take a little math work to determine bracket placement, but not a complicated job. The lift capacity of those cylinders should do the job for the bed unless the mattress is very heavy.

**Q: My tonneau cover has a pair of Suspa C16-08316 one of the spring retainer clips is,missing. Where can i buy a few extras? lehmann55@aol.com**
A: Probably online

**Q: Dose it come with both shocks ?**
A: Yes 2 come in a set

**Q: Are then ends metal or plastic?**
A: Plastic outside with metal connectors inside.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect direct replacement !
*by D***S on May 28, 2025*

Ordered these to hold my sundeck up on my pontoon. Very easy to replace old, I custom built my sundeck so was also aple to get new mounting brackets that these worked well with. I have these mounted to the bottom of a 30lbs sundeck and it holds it up with no hesitation, I have to lift the deck maybe 4 inch's before the struts take over and do the rest with lifting it . Great quality
