Rear Hatch Struts

[jhartz4533]

Has anyone found any heavier-duty rear hatch struts for the LC 250 (1958)? Added a Prinsu Ladder and the hatch won't stay open anymore...

I've noticed the struts on the units with the assisted door open are quite a bit larger. Any chance these may fit?

I don't have the ladder but I wish I could change mine as well to go higher on the 58.

If there was an aftermarket solution for stronger and or higher struts, I would jump on it.

Thanks! They should fit, but they are significantly more expensive. I’m confident there will be aftermarket ones in the future, as they were for my 5th gen 4Runner. Joys of having a first year model!?

For sure! I will continue to keep a lookout for struts that fit and make sure I update the forum.

Pretty sure assisted struts have motors built in.
