Application Details

Use this liftgate lift support on 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ vehicles when the rear liftgate no longer stays open or moves with inconsistent resistance. Tuff Support 611681 is built for the liftgate position and matches the listed Jeep Cherokee fitment for the XJ body code. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Liftgate drops after being opened
• Weak or uneven liftgate support force
• Rear hatch that will not stay in the open position
• Hard-to-lift or poorly controlled liftgate movement
• Wear-related replacement need on aging Jeep Cherokee XJ models

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee with Body Code XJ before ordering. Match the liftgate position to the existing support and compare the part number 611681 to the removed component when possible. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear before installation.
