Review on Premium Tailgate Supports Compatible 2014 2015 by Matt Estrada

I'm giving these two stars because they say they fit my 2015 Kia Sorento LX but they didn't. The extended length of 18.9 inches was as advertised but should fit my 2015 Kia. The Sorento LX is a little tight. Yes, they technically "fit" ball joints, but they're about an inch shorter than stock jacks. It might not sound like a big deal, but it means the tailgate opens about 6 inches less. So if you don't mind crouching and banging your head on the tailgate every now and then, then yes, they match the same OEM part number. 81771-1U500. However, I strongly recommend that you measure the axle-to-axle ("extended") length of your existing lifts and make sure you purchase these. so they are the same length. They weren't. I returned them and bought the correct extended length 19.69 inch lifters elsewhere. Hope that helps.
