I did another mod to the Suburban today. I got some gas support struts that were the proper length and a little heavy on the lifting force, but not too bad. I swapped them out for the sliding/locking supports for the rear hatch. It is a lot easier to open the rear hatch now since you only have to give it a pull and the supports open the rest of the way.
Next I am going to swap out the tailgate scissor supports for some cables, so I can use an EZDown gas support like the modern trucks come with. There is not a lot of room between the tailgate and the side of the rear hatch opening. I got the EZDown already, but the cables I ordered were too short, got some longer ones on the way now.
