Anyone build, design or make a gas strut conversion to raise the rear trunk?
Thanks! |

thanks for all the replies...seems like some like it and some dont. on mine, the torsion bars had ripped one side of the hinge mount off and the PO put it back in there with some screws. I think ill order the JWest kit to fix that.
