Heavyweight rear hatch struts?
Has anyone found struts for the rear hatch to upgrade after adding sound dampening and speakers?

I see the ones listed on Amazon, but they have mixed review's.

seen these used

I put on the Gobi that came with the roof rack. They work fine, I have a lot of weight on the rear hatch. The Amazon ones seem like they would do the job well at a quick glance, plus a lot cheaper than Gobi.

When fully opened my rear cargo hatch touches my garage door. Anyone got a lead on shorter lift supports?

I've been using these from Amazon for 2.5 years.

Zero issues, but I have nothing on my hatch.

It takes a bit of effort to get them down the first few times but no complaints here beside my GF not being able to reach the hatch to close it LOL

I know a few people who uses these for their GOBI or C4 Ladders and it works great.
