Whitecap 17" Gas Spring - 60lb - Stainless Steel

The Whitecap 17" Gas Spring - 60lb - Stainless Steel is a precision support component designed for applications such as hood props, tonneau covers, toolbox lids, and other vehicle access panels that require reliable hold-open capability. This product is ideal for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts looking for an upgrade in custom fabrication work, restorations, and heavy-duty truck builds.

Engineered to operate on sealed nitrogen pressure, this gas spring delivers consistent force throughout its travel stroke, avoiding the friction and wear that can affect mechanical hinges. Its stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion from road salt, moisture, and chemicals, making it suitable for truck beds, marine applications, and off-road vehicles exposed to harsh environments.

Installers and fabricators will appreciate the reliability of this spring in high-cycle applications, such as utility beds that open frequently, custom tonneau systems on work trucks, and aftermarket storage solutions. The 60-pound force rating is perfect for medium-weight applications, providing smooth support without the risk of slamming, which can extend the lifespan of vehicle panels and mounting hardware.
