Default Best Place to Order Lift Gate Struts

Like the title says, I'm in major need of new lift gate struts. The stealership wants something like 60 bucks a piece for them. I found a set on partsavenue.us for under 30 bucks, but I don't know anything about the site. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

O'Reilly's has them for like $19 and usually in stock and RockAuto has them for $12 if you're willing to wait a week to get 'em.

Just saw some on eBay for 7.95 each (new) and about 6.00 shipping. Made by strong arm. I'm ordering a couple myself at that price.

I was going to suggest RockAuto. They are great for ordering OEM parts.

Yeah, I usually go through them if I can afford to wait. Otherwise I goto O'Reilly's if I need it ASAP or it's only like a dollar cheaper. I've never bought anything except books off of Amazon, though I have heard complaints of super long wait times. I only goto Advance or AutoZone to drop off my old oil.

That's where I went first, but my Autozone didn't carry the correct ones.
