Sometimes its a rough ride, sometimes its smooth motorin'.*

Clockwork,
There is some tension when you try to close the hatch, but I don't believe it is enough to cause any issues. I got the shocks from ECS Tuning more than a year ago. Here is the brand:
BMW E53 X5 M54 3.0L By Brand S-T Stabilus - ECS Tuning
Here a picture of the springs installed.
