Has anyone used the replacement tailgate support springs from LMC are they worth the $25 each or do they break within the year?
Thanks

I made one out of spring steel. A bit hard to bend, not as pretty as OEM, but it's possible without a ton of effort. It's been on there a few years now.
 
Yep. Just a lot of square bends instead of rounded, but easy enough to knock out with a vise and the previous spring (broken) to use as a template.

Just make sure to use spring steel.
