Thanks, don't think i'll need to lift tailgate with cycles on and don't want to hang on tailgate to close it, so the 958N will probably suffice then? All i'm after is a suitable strut that will open with an empty cycle rack on and stay up with no sag.
Thanks for your help
These are the ones I bought mate, I had the same issue as you. Unfortunately out of stock.
Just look for some 1200Nm struts. I wouldn't spend over 100 pounds on some OEM struts if your not carrying a bike rack.
Your tailgate will open up nice and smooth after uprating them.
