2013 Jeep GC, Replacing the tailgate lift support struts.

Recently I've become annoyed with having to push up my tailgate; although it would stay in place once up, but I figured it's just a matter of time before they completely failed. In this video, I show you how to easily replace these gas charged lift supports.

I found them cheaper at CarID where I eventually purchased them. www.carid.com/...

You just made me look like a hero in my wife's eyes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.
Blessings and more Blessings to you and your family

Hey man, thanks. I have a 2012 and I was going to loosen up the bolt, then I thought, huh, maybe not. Came to your video, saved me a lot of grief. Thanks man.

[@zandztv28]

same thing happened to my 2012 GC

[@frednurks8528]

I am follicaly challenged and the encounters I have had with my tail gate lately has taken its toll on my forehead. Ordered some new gas struts and your video has made the the replacement task so easy. Thank you very much.

[@Muziq4tune]

Brilliant! Thanks. the End actually broke off of my left side strut while opening the hatch. You saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks

[@redsoles174]

Ah, yes....Thank you again to the University of You Tube!!! Great job explaining the process. Very clear and to the point! Great job and many thanks!

[@4StonesHandcraft]

I will echo C.M.’s comment, I am now hero for a day at our house. Thanks.

[@rodwillis105]

Your video helped me replace my struts today - thanks! Took only about 20 minutes and I still have all of my fingers.

[@242Shaker]

Glad you kept your fingers!

[@Joe-eu3th]

Great video thank you
A six-foot ladder works great

[@ozzyruleshere]

Thanks a million, mine just went out on 2011 liberty and looks exact to yours. Was thinking rear panel had to come out to access bolts inside door. You saved me a huge headache, now to just find replacement. (Update, found parts at AutoZone same day and 5 min later back in business)

[@65MK]

Thanks for the video. I have to get new ones on my 2011, and this video let me know what I need to do. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@greg_d]

Thank you for the video. Wasn't sure how to un-do the clips.

[@tomweadick4156]

Thank you. Your video was very helpful.
Keep making videos!!

[@somrtony]

Thank. I just changed my lift gate supports. Very easy. Just make sure to remove the strut at the gate end first. Also, you don't need to losen the clips on the new ones. They arrest by themselves

[@barrybebenek8691]

You don’t need to open the retaining clip on the new shock, to replace. In fact it’s better if you don’t. If that new clip pops off, it’s a pain to make right again. Just grease the pin, and push. Done.

[@oliverhall9127]

Thank you very much! Worked great on my 2012 Jeep

[@DSFaulk]

Thanks for saving me some cash! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@jerryonly9350]

Thanks dude

[@CCsnrs]

Just replaced mines! Thanks to your video. Much appreciated 🫡

[@eltonyutzy530]

i am getting ready to change mine. Good Tip. But i was looking for a video that changes out a lift gate latch on a 2012 Jeep

[@joshualuissaldivar8069]

cool, thank you Sir for sharing

[@alihsas]

I have a 2013 GC overland with the powered liftgate.
How can I open the liftgate manually in case if there is a problem and the liftgate cannot be opened by remote and by the handle and I want to replace the electric lifter or the air strut?
Could you please make a video showing that because there is no video on the entire internet showing that till this moment.

[@ronaldnayda4394]

I can’t find the correct size for my 2015 Grand Cherokee where did you find it?

[@242Shaker]

I got mine from CarId... here's a link for you (double check yourself that these are correct) www.carid.com/2015-jeep-grand-cherokee-trunk-tailgate-lift-supports/?filter=1&sub-model[Liter][]=3.6L

[@tientrinh943]

Should the body (big part) of the lift be closer or after away from the glass?

[@242Shaker]

Tien Trinh if installed properly, there should be no difference from it originally.

[@jasona2837]

Mine didn't pop off. How did you get the old one off?

[@242Shaker]

I just removed the compression ring and it comes right off the mounting pin. czcams.com/video/qX0pSYw84ag/video.html

[@charliemurphy9761]

Nice change where do you get your mats from mate?

[@242Shaker]

Charlie Murphy the rear mat is from weathertech, the interior mats are from mopar (justforjeeps.com); I think they fit better and they say “grand cherokee” across them... cuz I’m a nerd. 😬

[@charliemurphy9761]

thats amazing exactly what im looking for, also i want to get a JEEP front license plate haha they have some cool designs, never heard of justforjeeps before haha thanks for that too

[@jackolson3502]

You don’t need to release the clips on the new ones. They will click right into place

[@242Shaker]

Correct! I learned that later.
