Recommendation For Aluminum Toolbox Replacement Strut
Question:
I have an aluminum truck toolbox and need 2 struts for it. The contico part number shows 40231545. There is also AVM P3550B listed on it. Thanks.

We do not carry the Contico brand of tool box but we do offer a Replacement Lift Cylinder, Item # UWSLIFTCYLIND, which works with all kinds of tool boxes because it has a fairly universal fit.
This strut measures 10 inches from ball socket center to ball socket center. The strut fits on ball studs like Item # UWSBALLSTUD and it has a 45-lb lift capacity.
Let us know if this will not work for you and we will make other recommendations.
