Aeagle Rear Hatch Lift Supports for Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999-2004 — Pack of 2, Direct-Fit Gas Struts

Aeagle rear hatch lift supports are a pair of direct-fit gas struts designed to replace the worn or weak liftgate shocks on 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, restoring smooth, controlled opening and secure support for the tailgate.

These two rear hatch lift supports (also called liftgate struts or gas shocks) are engineered to match the factory fit and function for Jeep Grand Cherokee years 1999 through 2004. Manufactured to align with the listed interchange numbers, they provide a ready-to-install replacement that saves time and avoids modification. The design focuses on reliable compression and extension performance so the liftgate opens smoothly and stays open without drift.

How do these lift supports restore my Jeep’s rear hatch operation?

Installing fresh gas struts replaces the worn internal gas pressure and seals that allow a hatch to sag or slam. The Aeagle units use the same mounting geometry and stroke length as the original equipment to recreate the correct lift force and travel.

• Pair includes both left and right rear hatch supports for balanced operation
• Factory-matching dimensions and mounting points for straightforward swap-in
• Sealed gas and piston construction to resist leaks and reduce noise

Will these fit my Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999–2004 model without modifications?

Yes. These lift supports are specified for 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 Grand Cherokee vehicles and use common OE-style fittings. They are sold as a pack of two to replace both supports at once, ensuring consistent feel and balanced movement.

• Compatible with Jeep Grand Cherokee model years 1999 through 2004
• Interchange numbers included for cross-reference: 4699, 8194753, 3521VC, 55137022AB, 55137023AA, 55137023AB

What benefits will I notice after replacing the hatch struts?

New lift supports restore smooth opening, protect the hatch from slamming, and keep the rear cargo area safer and easier to access. A matched pair reduces asymmetric wear and prevents the door from drifting or falling unexpectedly.

• Consistent, controlled lift and hold—reduces risk of accidental closure
• Quieter operation with less vibration or rattling at the hinge area
• Durable seals help prolong service life and reduce maintenance intervals

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

Installation is typically simple and can be completed with basic hand tools in under an hour. Support removal and replacement often involves releasing spring clips or bolts at each end; having a second person hold the hatch open is recommended for safety.

• Prepare a flat, stable work area and a helper to hold the hatch
• Common tools: flathead screwdriver or pliers for clip removal, socket or wrench if bolts are used
• Inspect mounting sockets and clean before install to ensure proper seating
