The Replacement Lift Cylinder # UWSLIFTCYLIND referenced in your question measures 10 inches from ball socket center to ball socket center when it is compressed. You will want to measure your existing lift cylinder when it is compressed to see if it matches the dimension on this replacement unit. Also note that this particular cylinder has a 45 pound weight capacity and is designed for UWS toolboxes with heavy-duty, gas lifts.

This is the only replacement toolbox lift cylinder we currently have available. I have also attached a link that will take you to our selection of other replacement parts for truck toolboxes that you can look through if needed.
