Keep the liftgate rising smoothly and holding overhead with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-111379 (also written 3B111379), a temperature-compensating, gas-charged LIFT-O-MAT strut measuring 26.30 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008 Dodge Town & Country, and 2008 Chrysler Town & Country — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking.
- Temperature Compensating Valve (TCV): an internal, temperature-sensitive valve adjusts gas holding force, adding force in cold weather while reducing it in warm conditions for easier closing.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Easy installation: designed to install with no special tools required.
Based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, the Stabilus LIFT-O-MAT TCV delivers OE-equivalent performance for vehicles built with temperature-compensation systems. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a liftgate that drops on its own, won't stay up, opens slowly, or feels weak in the cold. These struts work as a matched pair — for best results, replace both sides together for balanced operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the 3B-111379 lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008 Dodge Town & Country, and 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What does the Temperature Compensating Valve do?
An internal, temperature-sensitive valve automatically adjusts gas force with conditions — adding holding force in cold weather and reducing force in heat for easier closing, so operation stays consistent across temperature extremes.
How long is this lift support?
The manufacturer lists it at 26.30 inches. Compare it to your original strut and confirm fitment through the Buyer's Guide before ordering.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs for best results. Renewing both sides together gives balanced holding force and smoother, even liftgate operation.
What are signs this lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a liftgate that slowly drops, won't stay open, rises weakly, or feels sluggish in cold weather. Diagnose the cause before replacing to confirm the strut is at fault.
