How many come in one order, 1 or 2 struts? 2 How many come in one order, 1 or 2 struts? 2 Review: Easy installation, better design - I bought these struts to replace the liftgate on my 2001 4runner, and I was very pleased with the result. A few tips for an easy install. 1. If you are installing by yourself, use a 6' step ladder, and some towels to prop up the liftgate. 2. To remove the OEM c-clips, use a flat head screw driver that will fit into the slots. Insert screw driver into one of the slots, and twist counter clockwise. 3. Use a small punch and pop out the pins. 4. There's a nylon bushing that goes inside the top of the struts, and it will need to be replace. Unfortunately they are not available individually, however you can make your own. Go to your local home improvement store that has the intitials "HD", and they have a section call "nylon spacer". Get 1 spacer, and cut it in half, with some sanding it will fit nice and snug. I've included a picture of the part number for the spacer, and the tools I used for the fitting part ( 60 grit sandpaper and vice grips). 5. Don't forget to put back the OEM metal spacer when you install the lower part of the struts. You Willsee what I'm talking about when you take the old ones off. Installation should take 10-15 min, the longest part was cutting, and fitting the nylon bushings. I like the design of these replacements, they seem more solid than the OEM. Threaded bolts on the upper, easy clip pins on the bottom. I hope this will make your install a simple job. BTW, if you can get a second person to help, it's much easier. I did one side, and help with the other side. Update: It's 4-5 months since I installed these, and it was a cold winter here in VA. They work fine in the cold months, so let's see how they hold up in the summer (gases expand in the heat). 4/18/21 Update: It's now going into the fall, and they still work fine. During the summer months here in VA, they seem to be a bit "stiffer", gases do expand. I just wanted to comment on one reviewer that left a 3 star review, with an image of the upper strut. He left out the nylon bushing that I had mention previously! If Toyota put a bushing there, there must be a reason for it. 10/12/2021 Review: great fit and lift - i did not take long to install and now it lifts all the way up and stays there on cool 35* mornings. i did add a steel washer to each top as other reviewers had suggested. it would have been fine without the addition of the washers to shim but i had them in stock and if that is any concern they could easily be added later. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B010V041F8 | | Auto Part Position | Rear | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,416,072 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #13,572 in Automotive Replacement Shock Lift Supports | | Brand | Maxpow | | Brand Name | Maxpow | | Compressed Length | 16.06 Inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 510 Reviews | | Extended Length | 23.94 Inches | | Item Weight | 1.76 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Partsam | | Model | 4286 | | Part Number | 126146 | | UPC | 702373949701 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | ## Images ![Maxpow Rear Hatch Support Tailgate Gas Charged Lift Support Struts Shocks Liftgate Cylinder Compatible with 4Runner 1996-2002 2Pcs 4286 SG229011 (Fit for 4Runner Tailgate Without Added Ladder) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51niSbZ5gbL.jpg) ![Maxpow Rear Hatch Support Tailgate Gas Charged Lift Support Struts Shocks Liftgate Cylinder Compatible with 4Runner 1996-2002 2Pcs 4286 SG229011 (Fit for 4Runner Tailgate Without Added Ladder) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jjFaxLcCL.jpg) ![Maxpow Rear Hatch Support Tailgate Gas Charged Lift Support Struts Shocks Liftgate Cylinder Compatible with 4Runner 1996-2002 2Pcs 4286 SG229011 (Fit for 4Runner Tailgate Without Added Ladder) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617hAlZv8TL.jpg) ![Maxpow Rear Hatch Support Tailgate Gas Charged Lift Support Struts Shocks Liftgate Cylinder Compatible with 4Runner 1996-2002 2Pcs 4286 SG229011 (Fit for 4Runner Tailgate Without Added Ladder) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61itzeklYhL.jpg) ![Maxpow Rear Hatch Support Tailgate Gas Charged Lift Support Struts Shocks Liftgate Cylinder Compatible with 4Runner 1996-2002 2Pcs 4286 SG229011 (Fit for 4Runner Tailgate Without Added Ladder) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I4jhB15tL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this product for tailgate only?** A: Yes, this product is only available for Rear Hatch/Liftgate/Tailgate, and compatible with 1996-2002 4Runner only. **Q: How do I find out if it fits my car?** A: You can use Amazon's fitment function, enter your car model to find it.

I had to get used to closing my rear door again. I put these on my 4runner’s rear hatch door. It started closing itself & bonking me on the head so I bought these & totally fixed the the problem! Now I find myself having to push it closed again with a pretty firm push. I encourage all who read this to trust that these will work for your doors. The s Klee is great as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/26343271-maxpow-rear-hatch-support-tailgate-gas-charged-lift-support-struts](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/26343271-maxpow-rear-hatch-support-tailgate-gas-charged-lift-support-struts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
