Safely Raise and Lower Your Hood, Hatch, and More with Stabilus Lift Supports
Stabilus Lift Supports make opening hoods, hatches, tailgates, and trunks safer and easier. By gently closing these components, Lift Supports greatly reduce slamming and wear on your vehicle. Stabilus offers many different types of Lift Supports for a variety of applications, all designed to provide long life and reliability in any weather condition.
Hood and Hatch Lift Supports
You know it when your hood or hatch supports are shot. They’ll keep closing when you’re trying to put something in your car or working under the hood, making it look like your car is trying to eat you for dinner. Or worse, maybe you accidentally ram your head into the edge of the hood or hatch a time or ten because it no longer stays fully open.
Whatever the case, Stabilus has you covered with high-quality replacement Hood Lift Supports and Hatch Lift Supports that will put an end to these problems. Features include:
- Engineered for specific vehicle applications
- Easy lifting with reduced closing effort
- Consistent opening and closing force
- 50,000 cycle life expectancy
- Rust-resistant piston rod
- Made from machined steel and protected with a black oxide coating
- Easy installation—no special tools required
Did you just finish fabbing a custom panel and need a sure-fire way to hold it open? Or maybe you want to ditch the annoying factory hood prop on your ride for a side-mounted unit that provides more room for engine maintenance. No matter the reason, a Stabilus Universal Lift Support will fix you up. They are available in more than a dozen models with various extended and collapsed lengths to fit virtually any application you can dream up. The Lift Supports have patented labyrinth-style pistons for smooth operation and dynamic damping speed control for safety and long life. Easy to install with no special tools required, the Lift Supports are built to OEM specifications to ensure proper function.
