Keep the liftgate lifting and holding smoothly with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-273695 (also written 3B273695), a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. This 23.41-inch unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2015 Lexus RX350 and 2010-2015 Lexus RX450H. A lift support like this uses charged gas pressure to raise and steady the liftgate; a weak or leaking support that lets the gate drop, feel heavy, or refuse to stay up is a common sign it may need replacing.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Easy installation: installs with no special tools required.
- OE-based design: based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form and function.
The Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.

What does this lift support do?
It is a gas-charged lift support that uses charged gas pressure to raise the liftgate and hold it steady, with dynamic damping for a smooth, controlled opening motion.
How do I know if my lift support needs replacing?
Signs it may need replacing include a liftgate that drops on its own, feels heavy to raise, or won't stay open. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both lift supports at the same time?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides provide balanced, consistent support.
