I'd just use the old broom you've been using. ;-)

Re: Help with sourcing Lift Struts for 89 Cherokee LTD
I just replaced mine on my '91 Cherokee XJ. It was less than $40.00 shipped
from:
http://planetautoparts.com/
Search for part number 4782 ... that's for StrongArm lift supports ... some
of the best you'll find.
They have free shipping on all orders over $50.00 ... so order a little more
and you'll get the free shipping.
It was really easy to replace them ... I wondered about it like you did, but
once you get going with it, you'll be fine. Pull out the little clips that
hold them in, then just pop it off the ball stud. The new one pops on, then
put the clip back on.
Good luck.
