Tool box shocks

[ron in sc]

Need two tool box shocks for a 42" wide CSPS box.

Anyone know where I could get these items. Not shocks for car liftgate.

Check with your local truck cap retailer. The rear window shocks come in all shapes and sizes. A lot less heavy duty than a car trunk shock

I bought some DeeZee shocks from pep boys and made them work. They're for truck tool boxes.

Google the numbers on the side of the shock most end in nm the newron meter is the weight that it lifts, hope this helps

You are looking for "Gas Springs" not shocks Search on the correct term and you will find lots of vendors. As said most have numbers on them and I get mine from McMaster Carr.

I have used a place called Austin Hardware to get replacements. They have a website and you can find a pair that will work.
