Does anyone have a set of lift gate support they don't want anymore?

 

You can always cut a broomstick handle and prop it... I did it for 2 years in college.

 

i use my rear tire carrier to prop my liftgate up lol

 

I had a pair I didn't want anymore because they were kaput so I bought new and I threw the old away, you should too.

 

Yeah most don't take them off unless they are replacing them.Try rockauto or amazon either should be cheaper then a local parts store.

 

Check this out:

 

Don't know where you are, but they are less than $6 each at the local pullapart here.

 

The best thing about replacing hatch struts is that old ones can be used to lift and hold the hood. No more hot hands.

 

I did this for many years on my 91 S10 blazer

 

How do you fry the eggs and bacon & hash browns with all that insulation on the hood?

 

Round back in the kitchen of course. That's where the running water, coffee and paper towels are. lol

 

I knew that was coming had seen his setup before lol......If I had that much insulation my POS would overheat for sure the heat couldn't get away!

 

Just replaced mine about 20 minutes ago! Its lovely to have the liftgate lift itself once you help it past about 20% open. No more surprise attacks!

I was going to say you can have my old ones but someone just said that they are strong enough to keep the hood open. So I may venture into that arena now. Sorry!

Invest in some supports, the feels are totally worth it!

 

Order these:


They are custom made to order and then shipped from China, so admittedly they take a long time to arrive, but they are just plain great. Very high quality and an exact fit. Work wonderfully. I'm exceptionally pleased with them.

What's the difference between the 97+ and the older models lift supports?
