Default Tailgate Cables

I snapped both cables that hold the tailgate while it is down, where can I get inexpensive replacements?

Only place I know of is the stealer, replaced them on my HD couple years ago. Think they were 60 if I remember correct. Cdn so back then dealers were really screwin us for parts up here, probably cheaper now (or state side)

Because I load my ATV behind the toolbox, a good bit of the weight sits on the tailgate. I bought an extra set from this place for spares, just in case. About $20 each...
