Trunk & Tailgate Lift Supports

A trunk lid and tailgate act as a door found at the rear of a car, wagon, pickup truck, or SUV that opens to provide access to your tools, spare and other gear that you haul in your vehicle. When you want to reach your trunk or truck bed to get your stuff in or out, you need the lid to stay open on its own so that you can use both of your hands. Providing the ultimate both in convenience and safety, the trunk/tailgate lift support shocks are what lets you pop open your vehicle’s trunk or tailgate with confidence.

Rear hatch/trunk/liftgate lift support shocks are gas charged cylinders which apply an accurate amount of pressure on the lid's bottom. As soon as you release the trunk or tailgate from inside of the vehicle and it raises about halfway, this is when shock struts come into play. What these do is elevate the lid to completely open position and support it firmly in place as long as you need it, leaving both of your hands free for added convenience when loading or unloading your trunk or truck bed.

How much pressure should be put to keep open the trunk or liftgate is precisely measured between lift support struts and the weight of the lid. When you open or close the lid, properly functioning lift supports ensure that it does it smoothly as well as securely hold the lid up once you've opened it, making all the processes safe and easy. If gas support shocks are not working properly, this won't be smooth and the lid can unexpectedly slam down. When the lid is difficult or heavy to lift from the closed position, doesn't stay open without assistance, falls on its own, or is slow to drop in cold weather, your support struts may be weak, worn out or faulty and need to be replaced.

Keep in mind that any lift support will eventually fail over time. These components are subject to wear from exposure to the elements during the lifetime of use. It’s critical that your trunk or tailgate lift support shocks work correctly for your personal safety. If your lift support shocks are defective or too weak to keep your trunk lid, liftgate or hatch up, be sure to replace them as soon as possible if you don't want to have the lid to come crashing down on you and cause injury.
