Description

Raise your tailgate with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-914453 (also written 3B914453). This gas-charged lift support measures 25.51 inches and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 Ford Explorer and 2013-2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. A worn or leaking support that lets the liftgate drift down, feels weak, or slams shut is a sign this part may need replacing.

Stabilus builds this as a Lift-O-Mat unit with dynamic damping speed control, using a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold — pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston at an extension speed and damping tuned for this application.

Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Gentle end-of-stroke stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled, low-impact stop.
Based on the OE design: engineered to match proper fit, form, and function.
Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.

Easy to install with no special tools required. For best results, replace in pairs.
