Oh, I bought out a toolbox manufacturers inventory of lift supports, I've probably got 20 or so left (probably more) and they are the wrong size thread for my 1999's lift supports as I don't have the end that the pin goes through min are all the ball socket type

Order these:
Amazon.com: Qty (2) Strong Arm 4782 liftgate Tailgate Hatch Lift Supports Struts Shocks: Automotive
They are custom made to order and then shipped from China, so admittedly they take a long time to arrive, but they are just plain great. Very high quality and an exact fit. Work wonderfully. I'm exceptionally pleased with them.

PSI rating and extended length is important also. Too long and the hinges will overextend, too high of pressure and hatch will open too quickly and hit you in the chin.
1996 and earlier have a fiberglass hatch, 97+ uses steel. Not sure what the weight difference is.

btw, I've been to China. I've seen some of their manufacturing facilities in Xian and Beijing and Tianjin. It's not what most folks here in the states expect. I was blown away by some of their facilities, QC processes, etc. Of course you can buy cheap garbage products as well, but not everything from China is crap these days.
