Hold the tailgate open smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-235446, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2022 KIA Sportage (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications), measures 21.50 inches, and needs no special tools to fit.
- Dynamic damping speed control: Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat uses a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston at an extension speed tuned for this application, creating a fluid opening motion.
- Controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled finish with minimal impact — no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards.
- OE-based design: engineered to match the original's fit, form, and function.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs. Choose Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus for a dynamic damping solution engineered for smooth, consistent control.
