Rear Hatch and Rear Window Lift Supports for 1999-2006 Yukon Escalade

In this review of the TadaMark replacement set, the verdict is practical: this 4-piece kit is for owners who need straightforward, OEM-style lift supports for the rear hatch and rear window on late 1990s to mid 2000s GM SUVs. Installation is the main draw - these gas springs are designed to match factory fitment for Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe (specified years) and GMC Yukon, so a buyer replacing worn struts will appreciate the near direct swap and the clear fitment references. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of correct lengths for both the liftgate and glass supports that keeps the tailgate and rear window operating as intended.

Key Features

• Direct fitment: Designed to replace factory rear hatch and rear window part numbers for 1999-2006 Escalade and 2000-2006 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon models so installation lines up with original mounts.
• Complete kit: Includes two rear hatch liftgate struts and two rear window glass supports so both functions are renewed at once for consistent performance.
• Correct stroke lengths: Liftgate struts extend to 24.69 in and compress to 15.69 in, while window supports extend to 18.06 in and compress to 11.31 in, providing the expected lift and hold across both components.
• Multiple replacement numbers: Cross-references many factory and aftermarket numbers to help confirm compatibility and reduce selection mistakes.
• Value proposition: Customers report easy installation and a proper fit, making this kit a cost-effective way to restore tailgate and rear window function.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY owners and independent shops working on Cadillac Escalade (1999-2006) or Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe and GMC Yukon models from 2000-2006 who want a straightforward replacement for failed rear hatch and rear window struts. It suits people who prefer a single purchase that addresses both the liftgate and the glass so both components feel balanced.

It is not for owners of the 2005 Tahoe LT if the vehicle uses a different strut variant, or for buyers who need a custom-length or heavy-duty aftermarket upgrade; those users should look for model-specific heavy-duty struts or OEM originals verified by dealer parts numbers.
