Midas sells the Gabriel ones. They can adjust the pressure to suite your needs.

Chris,
They don't have the Jeep item listed.
You will need to take the sample.
I bought at Midas Midrand (John) a set for the tail gate window on my WJ Grand Cherokee about 18 months back.
Hope this help.

Re: Lifting Struts (or whaever they called)
A problem I had with the spares guys are that they match more or less on length and never on pressures. My wife's Merc has a massive glass bootlid and the new ones I bought from the A zone nearly decapitated her when it unexpectatley closed on her neck. Since then I rather go to Diesel Electric, they start by measuring the existing one, then pump a new one to a higher pressure as required. On top they were nearly 50% cheaper than the spareshop

You can also try MacNaughtans, they can supply the correct length and pressure of the existing ones.

Andries,
I was told by Midas that they order the Safaries from Diesel Electric in PTA central.
One less middle man.
