I have, and have replaced lots. Easy 5 minute job, just have someone help hold the gate open while you pop off the clips on the struts.

I bought mine replacement from AutoZone. They are around $30. If one is bad it will make liftgate shift on opposite side and loft haye will hit rear bumper and scratch it

Check out RockAuto. They usually have coupon codes around the internet

Rock auto or ebay for cheap, o'reillys has sachs brand, lifetime warranty...may be worth the extra price.
Also on a side note, should they push the hatch up under their own power or do you guys have to help yours up? Mine will hold it up if I pull up the hatch manually, but I have to help it.

I remember in my 92 gt having to use a hockey stick lol. Push the hatch button and push with the stick

But I don't think they are supposed to just make the glass fly open...everyone has to help them, unless I'm wrong

I had to do mine. I bought them from the dealer. If I recall, they were about $40 apiece. Tipped the guy $20 and he put them on.

Took them longer to wash the truck then it did to install them.

They are as easy as changing a set of windshield wipers.
