Trunk air springs too long!
I got a pair of those trunk air springs on the ebay and now it seems they are a tick too long to just pop on. I would have to compress them alittle to install them but that's almost impossible. Is there a way to over-open the trunk? maybe removing both shocks?

NOTE:just tried it and taking off both shocks doesn't do anything.

Aaaaand DONE! Thanks so much! I was about to spend half a day figuring out how to compress the shocks and install! 44 bucks and 5 minutes. I love the internet again!

I got generic lifters for 44 bucks from ebay that said they "fit the LS430". 44 dollars is over 100 bucks less than the dealer charges for oem.
When you look at the hinge you will see two small black plastic tabs. One near the bottom of the hinge and one near the top. the one near the top keeps the trunk lid from over-opening. If you carefully remove the top tabs (you will want to replace them when you are done) you can open the trunk that 1/4 inch you need to snap the lift into place.
