🚪 Gas Springs Shocks Struts for Mercury Mountaineer 2001-2007, Ford Explorer 2002-2005 Rear Liftgate Hatch Tailgate Supports - Pack of 2, 4584 SG204043 Review

Post ok; the trunk seems much lighter. Suggested course of action: Support the tailgate with a 2x6 wheel, find a bar to remove the old rack (some are much better than others), the tailgate is easier to start with. All problems were on my conscience.

They could only keep it open after I picked it up. Took them back and replaced with these that worked much better and at a fraction of the cost. Now I barely have to lift and the racks do the rest. This gate is very heavy so it was a huge relief.

Installed on my 2003 Ford Explorer, in short they are much stronger than they should be. I left them as a secondary vehicle and I don't need them to be perfect but I can't get the back gate to open on its own as the jambs push so hard the gate bounces at the top. vibrate, which worries me they'll break something. Therefore, the gate must be kept all the way up to avoid possible damage. I'm not sure if they accidentally sent me the wrong ones, but in my experience they are too powerful for the…
