Raise your tailgate with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-1516RP (also written 4B1516RP). This gas-charged Lift-O-Mat support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2009 KIA Sorento, measuring 21.46 inches and using an internal compression spring to help release the liftgate from the latch during initial opening.
