The Tailgate Lift Support in GMC Jimmy vehicles just covers the responsibility of holding the rear lid to facilitate the loading and offloading of tools, and other equipment. These lift supports make use of gas charged cylinders to exert recommended pressure on the lid and the mechanism allows the lid to be lifted and stay ajar, useful for loading and unloading without having to hold the lid. Through the years, altogether with other models, the GMC Jimmy has used a lot of designs of Tailgate Lift Support especially Gas Support Shocks. These components are made to be wear resistant from exposure to the environment and they are very important for safe operation. If lift support collapses, whether it is due to deterioration of strength, or failure of the equipment, a dangerous situation may arise, for instance where the lid suddenly closes. It is always advisable to carry out routine checkups and change these supports to avoid grievous injuries as well as let the tailgate work as expected.
