Stronger Lifts for tailgate?

Anybody know where I can get stiffer liftgate strongarms?? i'm looking to make a release button on my dash somewhere which will unlatch and POP the liftgate open with a regular door popper!

This would be a nice addition to my car, Don't ya think?

i think i posted before. if you could place the popper in the right place it may work without the stronger lifts. it may be kind of hard to do , but if you can put them toward the top of the door , on the sides or side , then it should push the door out more , and maybe enough that the lifts would do the rest. also if you are loading or unloading someone will be at the door anyway , unless you have a robot loader. if so , then the robot should also be able to open or close the door. you do nice work. i hope you get it figured out and post some very nice pix , like you did before.

Just buy some linear actuators and have a fully automatic open/close setup.
