A breeze, June 30, 2010
By Delano
Replaced both lift supports on my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am not mechanically inclined in the least, but I installed them myself in about 15 minutes with no special tools or assistance required. They work great.
StrongArm Gas Charged Lift Struts, June 5, 2010
By JKP
I replaced 3 pairs of my original struts (hood, rear hatch, rear window) and I’m really happy I did. I did the installation by myself and the hardest thing about it was holding the rear hatch up while I did the swap. Of course, it would be easier if you had a helper, but I am proof that you can do it by your.
Everything works like new now.
Perfect Replacement, Easy Install, April 17, 2010
By Pete
I just bought a complete set of strongarm lift supports for the liftgate, rear glass, and hood for my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It works perfectly. They were very easy to install. I read the reviews and made sure I had a buddy help me hold things up, but it was so easy I think I probably could have done it by myself with a prop (although I wouldn’t recommend it… safety first!).
The liftgate is the most difficult of the three to install, but the only difficulty is making sure you have the right torque bit (T-40?) for your ratchet (I borrowed it from a neighbor). Once you have that, it’s as easy as removing two bolts and bolting the new lift supports in. I was worried about the supports being under pressure so I cautiously approached putting them in, but it turned out to be absolutely no worry at all. When the liftgate is open, the supports are in it’s rest position so you don’t need to pull or push on the supports at all. About the only thing you need to do is rotate the support arm 1/4 turn so you can bolt it in right. Also make sure you bolt the support in exactly the same way as the original (canister side up).
The other supports are easier to put in. The rear glass has only one bolt per support. I used a T24 bit which was a little small, but it was all I had and it worked good enough. I did this set on my own with a stick to prop to glass. The hood supports were even easier. No bolts required! You’ll need a friend to hold up the hood, but just pop out the thin metal housing, wiggle off the supports and reverse the process for the new supports (took maybe 3 minutes to do both).
I am so thrilled to have these new supports in. I’ve been living with sagging supports for a few years now and had always meant to replace them, but thought it’d be a hassle or excessively expensive. With Amazon’s great price ($5 discount for each pair) and free shipping (prime) I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner.
I’ll post this on the other support product pages so it’ll be there too.
Parts on Amazon – How convenient., April 11, 2010
By Donald Repp
While searching the web for some car parts, I saw a link to Amazon. I hadn’t known that Amazon dealt with vehicle replacement parts.
The product is just what I needed – no surprise there. The exciting part is that now I have all five of my vehicles set up in Amazon’s “parts Finder” and whenever I need a part, it is so easy to find.
A word of advice, it helps to have a second person to hold up the tailgate. I was alone and used a 2X4 to prop it open. But installation was easy and the lifts work great!
Thanks, Amazon
Does exactly what I hoped!, March 26, 2010
By S. Mejeur
I gambled and only ordered one for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, figuring I could remove both originals and test each to see which was failing and only replace that one. Well, with both removed, they both had more than enough pressure for me to figure out how to test them. If I had to do it again, I’d remove one, test the pressure on the door with only one, then reinstall the first, remove the second and test the one that was removed first. So I didn’t think about that at the time & just decided to replace one at random. It did the trick, door works perfect. This replacement does appear to be a little longer than stock, which makes starting the second mounting bolt easy to cross-thread or not start at all. As other people have commented, you can work around this easily by simply having a second person to lift the door to full extension. Simply propping the door up with a ladder or board will not do. Good luck!
