100% worth it! Fix your failing trunk strut and move on!
Worked awesome for my 2019 Dodge Challenger. I'm not a handy man, so this sat on my counter for almost 2 months thinking it would be a whole ordeal to swap out. Literally took me 6min with a flat head screw driver. Pop off the ring clips, remove top and bottom from ball joint, and pop on the new ones. Only thing I needed was a stick to hold up the trunk while I removed the old ones. No longer will my trunk fall and hit me in the head. Very strong lift and holds up trunk lid; needs some effort to shut. Awesome for the price.

Amazing!
96-02 Toyota 4Runner:These are the replacement struts you're looking for. They're super easy to install, lift the factory tailgate like factory and are so well priced! They are well built and seem like they'll last many years.I purchased the same brand for my wife's 09 Honda Pilot and they work so well that sometimes the tailgate refusals to close by itself.If you need replacement struts, these are it. Based upon quality, price, durability, and everything you need.

Satisfied
Easy to install, works great, and quality seemed to be good. Only thing I saw as an issue is that they each come in a sleeve to keep them compressed and the label for left and right side is hidden under the sleeve, so if you only need one opened, you have to hope you open the correct side or you uncompress both.

You’ll want to purchase some nylon washers with it depending on your vehicle.
5/5. Easy to install on my 2000 4runner but you will want some new nylon washers to limit the wobble. Open great. Even repurposed the nylon theh come compressed in to use as a rear hatch handle.

Quality replacement part
The struts were surprisingly better than I expected. They fit well and worked well with the weight of the hood providing a smooth and easy closing without a sharp opening. I was pleased with what I ordered and the cost was right.

Maybe too strong for my trailblazer
These are very strong. They were supposed to be replacements for my 2004 trailblazer rear hatch and they do work but are almost too strong. It is difficult for an older person to close now. Easy to assemble though

Strong
Worked perfect for 2000 Porsche Boxster. Previously bought a set from a different seller and they weren’t strong enough. These are super strong.
