Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-255496
$29.99

Raise the hood with a smooth, controlled motion and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-255496, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications), and at 25.57 inches it's engineered for this specific application. This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with the extension speed and damping tuned for the part, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
  • Easy to install: requires no special tools.
  • Based on the OE design: to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.

For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.
