I have a 03 22v limited. The bow front flip up seats are a pita! To hold up when getting stuff out. Is there a kit to add gas shocks to these seats? Or do I go to the local parts store and get gas trunk shocks?

I am not sure if there is a kit but I have the same boat I agree that this would be a good mod. I hate trying to hold those things up to get stuff out of there.
If you cant find what you are looking for at the parts store mcmaster has a lot of options.

X3 PITA! While working on it last night I tied a dock rope around it and to the tower while I was working in there to hold it up.Originally posted by LTtige22v View Post
I vaguely remember a thread on here that had someone upgrade it. My shocks need replacing and I found something about that when I was looking. I am thinking it might have been Mike/Chpthrl. I will try a search and see if I come up with anything.
EDIT - Found it.
