Product Details

The StrongArm 4278 is a premium liftgate lift support designed to provide reliable, smooth operation for your vehicle's rear hatch or liftgate. This gas-charged strut uses pressurized cylinder technology to safely support and assist in opening and closing your liftgate, reducing strain and preventing sudden drops.

Key Features:

  • Custom-engineered design manufactured to exceed industry standards
  • Pressurized gas cylinder provides consistent lifting force throughout operation
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance and reliability
  • Smooth operation reduces wear on hatch hinges and latches
  • Direct replacement for worn or failed OEM lift supports

Important Installation Notes:

  • Lift supports should always be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced support and safe operation
  • Replacing both struts simultaneously prevents uneven wear and potential safety hazards

StrongArm lift supports are designed for automotive applications including SUVs, hatchbacks, and vehicles with rear liftgates. Each unit is precision-manufactured to provide the correct force rating for your specific application, ensuring your liftgate operates smoothly and stays securely open when needed.

My second time ordering from Autoplicity. I price shop online and Autoplicity had the lowest price both times. Fast ship with email notifications. Autoplicity will now be my "First" site I go to for my auto accessories. Great job Autoplicity.

Great prices, quick shipping, customer service a bit difficult to reach. But, after reaching customer service, issue was resolved without a problem.

I hope the product is as good as the speed I received the item. I even made a mistake on my order, and it still arrived fast. Thanx, will do business with again.

Excellent low price, super fast shipping, and great communication. Top notch seller. Recommend highly!!

fast and easy

Order arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Great prices and service!
