04 GX470 hood shocks replacement

I noticed the hood shocks on my GX needs a replacement. Where can I get it cheaper than $300?

We'll the OEM ones are only 55 bucks... I am sure you can find after market ones for less....300? Are we talking about the gas struts that hold the hood up

I was told at the dealership $300 installed. If its $55 each, I can install it myself with a piece of wood stick. Anyone knows the part number of it?
