Tailgate lift support 84138

The FCS Struts 84138 is a transparent automotive lift support designed to hold a tailgate open. It replaces a worn or failed original strut on compatible vehicles. Buyers who need a different length, force rating or mounting style will not find a match here.

Direct replacement for failed strut

This unit serves as a direct swap when the factory lift support no longer keeps the tailgate raised. The jump is worth it when the gate drifts down, slams shut or requires manual propping. Vehicles with non-standard hinge geometry or heavy aftermarket accessories may need a different specification.

Consistent force under repeated cycles

The strut delivers steady lifting force through daily open-close cycles without the fade seen in short-burst tests. Internal seals and gas charge maintain performance across temperature swings typical in automotive use. Installations that exceed the designed stroke or mounting angle will reduce service life.
