Mine are beginning to fail and not hold the lift gate up properly and I am looking to replace with something slightly stronger. I do NOT have anything attached to it, so not needing to over do it.

The struts can lose pressure over time and you really notice it in cold weather. There are several threads about this for aftermarket replacements. Some successful, some failures. If/when mine fail on my 5th Gen I’ll get either new OEMs or get them rebuilt with increased pressure like I did with my 3rd Gen.
This thread talks about it:
