Hold your Jeep's rear hatch open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 2B-297834, a temperature-compensating gas-charged strut for the LEFT position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This 29.11-inch Stabilus LIFT-O-MAT unit uses a Temperature Compensating Valve (TCV): an internal, temperature-sensitive valve that adjusts holding force so the liftgate opens with enough force in cold weather and closes more easily in warm conditions for consistent operation across temperature swings.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs. Sold individually — this listing is for one left-side support.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this lift support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that holds the liftgate open and controls its opening motion. The Stabilus LIFT-O-MAT uses dynamic damping speed control for a fluid motion with no bouncing or jerking.
Which vehicles does the 2B-297834 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
Which side does this support mount on?
This is the LEFT-side liftgate lift support. For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing both left and right supports in pairs; this listing is for one unit.
What is the Temperature Compensating Valve (TCV)?
It's an internal, temperature-sensitive valve that automatically adjusts gas force with the weather — adding force in cold conditions and reducing it in heat for easier, more consistent operation.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. Stabilus states this support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and fasteners.
