easy to install.
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.)

I bought my Grand to be an inexpensive daily driver. I have no desire to throw much money into it. These struts for the liftgate, were inexpensive, easy to install and keep the lid off of my noggin. You do have to buy a special socket to install them, but I'm a sucker for new tools.

This is the same product they had at my local NAPA store, but at a lower price. Installation was easy (required E8 external torx socket that was hard to find on its own). Lifts great.

I bought 3 different sizes for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are pretty easy to replace, but they are really strong. I have no problem at all now with the heavy rear door. I actually just pop the handle and start to open the hatch door, then these take over and raise it up. Buy them without hesitation.

This product is excellent, very easy to install, it tooks me about 20 minutes to replace the 2 Glass lifts and the 2 Liftgates. Highly recommended.

These struts are identical to the original struts in my Jeep. Replaced within 10 minutes, although you do need a special socket to remove the E-type screws that attach the struts to the vehicle. Note that there are struts for the Left and Right side of the liftgate. DO NOT buy struts that claim to fit either side of the liftgate. I originally bought Sachs trunk struts from a local parts shop, which were supposed to fit either left and right sides - but I needed to use a few metal washers as shims so the door would close.

Great price. Delivered on time. Works great. Easy to install. Remember there is a Right and a Left version of the support. Remember to prop the door up with something sturdy while you make the repairs. Great to have my tailgate operational again.

Bought the left and right for my newly acquired Cherokee. This year Cherokee (1994) requires a left and right lift support; they are not interchangeable.

You may need a second set of hands and a flash light. After you take out the old ones, putting in the new ones are breeze.
