I think there's something wrong with the trunk on my 2006 IS 250. It pops open, stays open and closes fine but it's very difficult to lift (it takes 2 hands). Does anyone know what might be causing this issue? Could it be the trunk struts?

Make sure that your trunk liner isn't misaligned and rubbing the "hinges" for the trunk that go into the two slots in the upper left and right corners. I can tell you from installing numerous sub boxes that if it is off even a little, it will cause the liner to rub and it will be harder to open/close.
As for the deadening, it should be pretty easy to tell. Just tap on a door or a quarter panel with your finger. If you tap on the trunk lid and it sounds "solid". It's probably been Dynamated. Mine is probably ten to fifteen pounds heavier because I did mine. When I shut mine, I just hold it about three inches from closed and let it drop.......
