The Beach-Burban had a set of lifts on the hatch that were completely dead when I got it, so I bought a new set online from "Lift Support Depot" for $18.90 each. Easy install for me because the ball studs were already in place! They are USA made by "STRONG ARM", model 4220 (which I believe does fit the Volvo Wagons as FLYNAVY30 said). Specs are: 21.50 extended; 12.75 compressed and 81 lbs of force (goes up very nicely, plus it's very comical watching my wife try to close it!). I feel very confident that the hatch won't come down on us while sitting on the tailgate. These would be way too HD for the Blazer hatch, though!
