Lift gate height

[cbahleda2669]

Good morning everyone. I have a 2022 Tahoe LS that I bought a few weeks ago. It has a manual lift gate. I’m 6’4” tall, and I’m constantly having to duck the edge of the lift gate when it’s opened. The lift gate cylinders are fully extended when opened. It just isn’t high enough for my height. Anybody else run into this ? How did you solve it ? Can longer cylinders be used without damaging the lift gate or body.

seems like you have tall guy problems lol. Vehicles are designed around average height people with a standard deviation. You’re outside that. If they designed it to yoir height than the shorts wouldn’t be able to reach the handle.

From my understanding there are no aftermarket or oem lift actuators that will lift it higher. Learn to duck lol.
