Hopefully will let everybody know of a set that costs half what eBay sellers ask for.


The main concern is you need enough room at max compression. If the compressed length is too long very bad things will happen.

I've heard of bottom stops with a spring built in to get the tailgate started. Much better than pushing mostly downward to get the gate moving up.
