Default tailgate shocks

how hard is it to change out the tailgate struts that hold the tailgate up? I found the struts for about $50.00 a piece. also do you have a recommended supplier for parts?


Thanks

It's fairly easy, instructions are on Bay 13.

50 is pretty expensive in my opinion, Groton or IPD are probably cheaper than that.

Cross,
Go to ebay,There is a set listed from a place called eEuroparts.com (item#8010330416) for $44.90, free s&h. I have ordered from these people and they took good care of me. Good quality parts good price and same day shipping. As soon as I get a couple of other issues straightened around I think I'll grab a set for my wagon.
Jim
