They match original mounting geometry and force rating so the hatch opens with the right balance and stays securely raised. Built from heavy-gauge steel with precision cylinders and OE-quality end sockets, the pair is tested to resist corrosion and repeated cycles for long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these struts fit my Jeep Cherokee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese struts are manufactured to fit Jeep Cherokee model years 2014 through 2019 that do not have a power liftgate.
