Default Lift gate closes on the way up

2009 Tahoe LTZ lift gate won’t fully open. It opens and then at the half way point it closes.
This is frustrating

Default Same issue i had recently

I am not a mechanic. I had the same problem on my 07 chevy tahoe ltz. After watching youtube and reading online i decided to try replacing the support struts for the lifgate. Went online and found some on Amazon for $35. Installed myself (it is best to have someone help bc without the support struts on that door is extremely heavy) and now it opens and closes perfectly.
