You should be able to get them through autopart stores. You can also go to a auto recycler and have them get them from one of their vehicles. You can always get them from the dealer if this fails.

Body lifts are delicate things. I would suggest you invest the money in buying one vs making one. Both Skyjacker and Daystar are a good way to go if your short on funds.
I have the same problem on my 2002 jeep grand Cherokee. Both hood lifts no longer hold the weight of the hood. I found that you can buy brand new aftermarket hood lifts from eBay motors for about $20 plus shipping. To remove the old lifts have a friend hold up the hood. Then take a small screw driver and pop off the safety ring on each end of the old lift. Push the old lift off the small mounting posts. The new lift just snap on those posts...it takes 10 minutes total. Be sure the fat gas cylinder is mounted on the top and the shaft at the bottom. This ensures the shaft is properly lubricated. Just put them in in the same position/direction as the old struts.
Make sure you have a friend support the back hatch while you take off the supports. They are bolted on. Do this because the hatch is quite heavy without the lifting arms.

Most lifts use a nitrogen-charged system that uses pressure to help lift the door, and are balanced to the weight of the door. Replacement of one or both of these struts are required in order to return the door to proper operation.
