Default Where to find liftgate struts for SW2

Been looking for liftgate struts (supports) for my '97 SW2. Anybody have a good site for these? Thanks for any leads. Greg

Check out RockAuto.com. They have them under Body & Lamp Assembly, ranging from $6.39 to $12,47 each.

I found these on amazon.
Amazon Amazon
I've used the Mighty Lift supports for years. I owned several Dodge Caravans in the past and they all got new Mighty Lift supports. What an improvement. You unlatched the hatch, you'd better be standing clear or the hatch would fly up and hit you. I usually got mine at autozone or advance. IDK if they even sell them anymore as I don't shop at either one unless they're running a sale on chemicals I need.

You're welcome. Make sure you have someone to help you. Those hatches and liftgates are a LOT heavier than you'd think. If you have nobody to help, get a 2x4 to prop it open while you do one side at a time. It's not a one handed procedure.
