Aeagle Rear Hatch Lift Supports for Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999–2004 — Pack of 2, Direct-Fit Gas Struts

Aeagle rear hatch lift supports are a pair of direct-fit gas struts designed to replace worn liftgate shocks on 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, restoring smooth opening and secure hold of the rear hatch.

If your Grand Cherokee's liftgate sags, slams, or no longer stays open, these replacement lift supports provide an exact-fit option engineered to match original mounting points and restore factory-like operation. Manufactured to interchange with common OEM part numbers (4699, 8194753, 3521VC, 55137022AB, 55137023AA, 55137023AB), the pair offers an economical, straightforward way to renew hatch performance without modifying the vehicle.

How do these lift supports improve my rear hatch's operation?

Worn or leaking gas springs lose pressure and fail to hold the hatch open, making access awkward and sometimes dangerous. Installing new Aeagle lift supports returns consistent gas pressure, enabling controlled lift and reliable hold in the open position.

• Restores original lift force and smooth opening motion
• Prevents unexpected hatch closure and reduces wear on hinges
• Engineered to the same mounting dimensions for direct replacement

Are these compatible with my Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Yes — these supports are specifically made to fit 1999 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear hatch applications. They match the OEM mounting style and interchange with several original part numbers for straightforward replacement.

• Fits model years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
• Works as a direct replacement for listed OEM numbers
• No modifications required; installs using factory brackets

What does installation involve and how long will it take?

Installation is simple and can be completed with basic tools and one helper to support the hatch. The design mirrors original strut attachments, so removal of the old supports and clip-on installation of the new pair typically takes 15–30 minutes for most DIYers or a short shop visit.

• Remove old supports from factory ball studs or clips
• Align new struts to the same mounting points and snap into place
• Test hatch motion to confirm proper operation and secure fit

What are these lift supports made to withstand?

These Aeagle gas springs are built as hydraulic/damper style lift supports intended for daily use on the hatch, designed to resist typical road and weather exposure. While no part is maintenance-free forever, these are manufactured to offer consistent service life comparable to quality aftermarket replacements.

• Hydraulic gas design for steady, damped motion
• Durable construction suited for exterior vehicle use
• Sold as a pack of two to replace both sides simultaneously
