zactek Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I just installed a pair from liftsupportdepot.com,who sell on eBay. $55 shipped for both sides. Fit perfect and working properly so far. The OEM ones I took off from my 05 were completely dead with no pressure whatsoever. Zack K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therieldeal Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The p/n's i mentioned above are available on amazon for ~$23 each My originals have been working marginally since i got the car... they would hold the gate up, barely... and provided hardly any resistance when closing (i would close it slowly by hand so that it wouldnt slam so hard).

I couldn't thread one of the bolts in, and then I found that out and had to file one of the holes to make it bigger. 2nd issue: after spending that extra time modifying the brackets, I tried to close the hatch and found that the struts hit the hatch rubber seal while closing. I'm returning these and getting the 6222 everyone used ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
