Good day,

I tried the search function to no avail. The tailgate struts need to be replaced. I've done it before but cannot remember the recommended pressure. Can someone assist? Thank you in advance.

You shouldn't have to order them by pressure, just whatever is made to fit a Liberty. I grabbed these part numbers from a parts store lookup (Rock Auto), but there are probably others too:

StrongArm 4365
Monroe 901512
Sachs SG314048
AMS Automotive 4365
Mopar 55360171AD

Thank you Joe & WW.

I can Get Gabriel Gaslift struts locally for a fraction of the OEM price, but they have to "pump" the strut (probably universal) to the pressure I recommend. I appreciate your replies.
