I recently installed my rear spoiler and now that lid is rather heavy. I understand that the Judges came with a support to hold it open. Are these available anywhere?

They did not come with a support to hold the trun lid open. In '69 both torsion rods were thicker to counter the added weight. In '70 one thicker torsion rod was installed.

I do not know of anywhere you can get repros of these rods. The best you can do is to adjust your rods to the furthest notch to add torsion to them.

I measure several rods for 69s & found NO difference.
The rods must be in the middle & the closest to the bumper slots. my deck stays up in 50 MPH winds

I agree with Sweet i have messured a few agains my Judge and never found them to be any different, its all in the positioning in of the rods in the three adjustment slots. Years ago i put a auto trunk release on my GTO and when i was done and hit the button the deck lid tried to fly off the car! just needed to adjust the rods for a little less tension. Same is true of adding a spoiler only the rods have to be adjusted the other direction.

YES, they are different, when looking at them alone they may not sppear different but put them side by side and it becomes obvious. I sold a pair on Ebay for 350.

If I remeber correctly one of the pair was 3/16", I can not remember if the Judge was that size or non Judge.

i have an extra set of rods & spoiler. BUT I HAVE FOUND NO DIFFERENCE
