Product Description

StrongArm gas charged lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to provide smooth operation and durability. The hardened chromium plated steel shaft is precision ground and polished for superior corrosion resistance and leak free sealing. The self cleaning piston assembly automatically opens during each compression cycle to keep the orifice clear of fluid contaminants and provide smoother operation and reliable performance. Most units also utilize StrongArm's patented temperature compensation module valve which ensures consistent operation even in extreme weather conditions. It does so by compensating for normal gas pressure changes caused by temperature variations. The metallic upper bushing is manufactured with bearing quality precision to provide exact fit with pistion rod and promote a long operating life.

you will most likely need a left and a right.
on jeeps you may need a TORX female socket to remove and replace arms.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Trying to decide which lift struts would work on my 98 Grand Cherokee Latredo would work was more difficult than I thought - Lots of brands to choose from. The picture online helped me decide that these the right ones to try. They were right side and left side specific. They also came with the bracket and fit perfectly. I do not know how the lifts that will work with either side and do not come with the top bracket would work. Glad I chose the strong arm supports. Had to pick up a 1/2" star socket to remove the screws on the jeep that hold into place. Only took me about 10 minutes to install both. Now the tailgate does not fall on my head - especially when it is cold out.

These are a perfect fit for my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was an easy install and they work perfectly. And felt really good to toss the 2x4 that I'd been using to prop the door open.

Many thanks to the reviewers who recommended this female Torx socket set. The E8 socket was the one I needed, and I ordered everything together so they arrived on the same day. (It's always good to finish a project with no extra trips to the store.)
