I found them under mechanical>body hardware>liftgate>liftgate>lift cylinder

Seems kinda steep.

Autozone has them for ~$21
Advance Auto Parts has them for ~$40

hmm, but those shops probably don't have the OEM's. You think quality wise there ok though?

If you want OEM, then they have about the best prices around. $40 per shock isn't bad. Personally, I wouldn't trust the cheap one, but I am kinda weird like that.

I have a guy local that gets parts for me at his employee discount, and it's not much less than through their site.
