Product Details

The StrongArm 6178 is a precision-engineered liftgate lift support designed to provide reliable support for your vehicle's rear hatch or liftgate. This pressurized gas cylinder strut ensures smooth, controlled opening and closing operation while safely holding your liftgate in the open position.

Key Features:

  • Custom engineered and manufactured to exceed OEM industry standards
  • Pressurized gas cylinder design for consistent support throughout the product lifespan
  • Provides smooth, controlled motion for safer operation
  • Direct replacement for worn or failed factory lift supports
  • Durable construction for long-lasting performance in automotive environments

Installation Notes:

Lift supports should always be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced support and safe operation of your liftgate or hatch. Replacing only one side can result in uneven lifting force and potential safety hazards. Worn lift supports that fail to hold your liftgate open should be replaced immediately to prevent injury or damage.

StrongArm lift supports are engineered as direct-fit replacements that restore your liftgate to proper factory operation, eliminating the need for props or manual support.

Excellent e-merchant. Awesome service, great products and super low prices !!!

Quick and easy with the option to pay using my amazon account

Good store to deal with.<br><br>Will purchase from them again.

Everything was great just the returning could use help. The first ine i ordered was wrong and shipping back to you is more costly than i hoped.

Autoplicity had the exact part I wanted at the best price upfront with no gimmicks or hidden conditions. Prompt shipping at a fair price. Simply excellent!

I had been searching many sites for a better price on shocks for my 1999 Ford Explorer, upon finding Autoplicity the savings was 13.00 cheaper than all others. I instantly made the purchase. wish i had knew about them before I purchased the other items for my truck. will return as a customer .

I placed an order and 2 days later it was at my door!!! Very fast shipping and easy to navigate website! I would definitely recommend this site to all my friends. Keep up the great job!
