OTUAYAUTO Rear Tailgate Struts for 2000–2006 Chevy/GMC/Cadillac, Pack of 2 OEM-Style Gas Supports

OTUAYAUTO rear tailgate struts are a pair of gas lift supports engineered to replace worn or weak hatch shocks on 2000–2006 GMC Yukon, 2000–2006 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, and 2002–2006 Cadillac Escalade models.

These replacement gas springs restore controlled opening and secure holding of the rear hatch, matching common OEM lengths and mounting patterns used across GM SUVs from the early 2000s. Built with design input from German engineers, the pair is tested to industry durability standards and supplied as a ready-to-install kit that helps revive a sagging or unstable liftgate.

Will these fit my vehicle and how do I confirm compatibility?

They are intended to replace lift supports on Chevrolet Tahoe (2000–2006), Suburban 1500/2500 (2000–2006), GMC Yukon/Yukon XL 1500/2500 (2000–2006), and Cadillac Escalade/ESV/EXT (2002–2006). To be sure, measure your current strut center-to-center lengths and compare them to the listed dimensions.

• Extended center-to-center length: 23.9 inches
• Compressed center-to-center length: 16.4 inches
• OEM cross-reference numbers: 6262, SG230064, 10389051, SG230068, SG230035, SG230056
• Check vehicle year and hatch mounting style before purchase

How do these struts improve tailgate performance?

New gas springs replace worn units that no longer hold weight or slow the hatch correctly, returning a smooth, controlled lift and reliable support when open. That reduces slamming, prevents sudden drops, and makes loading or unloading cargo safer and easier.

• Restores controlled opening and holding force
• Prevents sudden or noisy closures
• Makes one-person loading/unloading safer
• Simple swap of two bolts or pop-on ball mounts (vehicle dependent)

What quality standards and testing back these supports?

OTUAYAUTO designs these gas springs using German engineering principles and proprietary features, then validates them against recognized industrial test cycles. The components are subjected to extensive life-cycle testing to confirm consistent damping and pressure retention over time.

• Engineered with patented technologies
• Tested to TUV NORD-like industry benchmarks
• Life-cycle endurance: up to 180,000 cycles in testing

What comes in the package and what after-sales options are available?

The listing includes two rear hatch gas shocks—one for each side—so you can replace both supports at once for even performance. OTUAYAUTO offers customer support for missing or defective items and will work with buyers to resolve quality issues.

• Pack of 2 gas struts for rear hatch application
• Instructions and mounting hardware depend on vehicle and local installer
• Contact seller via the order page if parts are missing or defective
• OTUAYAUTO customer support for warranty or fitment questions

Who is this for: This replacement kit is aimed at owners of late-model GM SUVs listed above whose rear hatch no longer stays open or opens unevenly—the do-it-yourselfer wanting a straightforward swap, independent mechanics replacing worn supports, and fleet managers keeping multiple vehicles safe and operational. If you need OEM-length, tested replacement lift supports that match common GM part numbers, this OTUAYAUTO pair is built to meet those requirements and restore dependable hatch function.
