Default rear trunk door not staying up

Hi guy.
i was wondering if this is common that rear door is not staying up. Looks like those hydrolic rods are shot.
Anybody know part number for them, and where can I get them.
I have 98 Blazer with 110K on it.
Thanks an advance.

The lift arms can be found at most auto parts stores for ~$20 per pair. They wear out on any type vehicle.

You take a small screwdriver, pull the clip back a little, and pull straight out on the ball end of the lift arm where it slides onto the stud. When installing, make sure the clip is in a position that it is opened enough for the arm to press onto the stud.

I never bothered to measure. Unless the auto supply store is staffed by 10 year old monkeys, they can show you the correct part.

Most of the time they are, at least where I live.
