OTUAYAUTO Toyota 4Runner Rear Tailgate Lift Supports 2010-2023 (Pack of 2) OEM-fit gas shock struts, corrosion-resistant

OTUAYAUTO rear tailgate lift supports are a direct-fit pair of gas shock struts that restore smooth opening and reliable holding for Toyota 4Runner hatchbacks from 2010 through 2023.
