Tailgate Lift Support 86291

The FCS Struts 86291 is a transparent lift support designed for automotive tailgate applications. It replaces a worn or failed original strut to restore smooth opening and controlled closing motion. Vehicle owners who notice sagging, slow movement or sudden drops will find this part returns the tailgate to reliable daily operation.

Replaces Worn Tailgate Strut

This unit upgrades from a factory strut that has lost pressure or developed leaks over time. The jump is worth it when the tailgate no longer stays open on its own or requires two hands to lift safely. It is not for buyers who need a heavier-duty rating than the original equipment specification or who are converting to a different hinge geometry.

Fitment And Mounting Checks

Confirm the 86291 part number matches the original equipment listing for the specific vehicle year, model and tailgate configuration. Verify that both upper and lower mounting points use the same ball-socket or eyelet style as the removed strut. Ensure the transparent finish is acceptable for the installation location and that no additional brackets are required.
