Default Silly question!

Hey guys I was wondering where I should look to find good lift gate hydraulics for my XJ. I looked at some local places and they can order them for me for around $40? Is that reasonable?

NAPA has them with new brackets depending on what year you have.

+1 to pull a part and hope they last. Or just spend the 60$ and get new.

Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna check out the yards, but it's not that expensive so I might just go with what I know I can trust. And btw, its a 92
