Liftgate Support for Toyota RAV4 Applications

The Stabilus 3B-838471 is a gas liftgate lift support engineered for controlled opening and closing action on select Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Prime models. It uses Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping to manage extension speed and deliver a smooth, gentle stop at the end of travel.

Fits 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4, N/A. Fits 2021-2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime, N/A. This part cross-references Gates 7449 for the same application.

Key Features

  • Lift-O-Mat design with dynamic damping for refined motion control
  • Gas-charged construction for consistent liftgate support
  • Ball socket ends with nylon end materials
  • Extended length: 22.8 in. (579 mm)
  • Compressed length: 16.2 in. (411.5 mm)
  • Stroke length: 6.6 in. (167.5 mm)
  • Maximum force: 145 lb (645 N)
  • Cylinder outside diameter: 0.866 in. (22 mm)
  • Inner shaft diameter: 0.394 in. (10 mm)

How It Works

Stabilus uses a velocity manifold groove in the tube wall to regulate gas flow around the piston as the lift support extends. The groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke, which helps slow the liftgate before full extension and reduces abrupt impact. That controlled damping is a key reason this Stabilus 3B-838471 lift support is specified for applications that need precise motion and consistent hold force, including Toyota RAV4 and Toyota RAV4 Prime liftgate service.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Liftgate that drops too quickly when opened
  • Rear hatch that no longer stays raised securely
  • Harsh or abrupt liftgate stop at full extension
  • Weak support in cold-weather conditions on listed Toyota applications
  • Uneven or inconsistent liftgate motion during operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the part number, end style, and compressed and extended lengths before installation. This lift support uses ball socket ends and does not include mounting hardware. For best results, replace only with the exact application listed for your vehicle and confirm the liftgate operates smoothly after installation.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is known for OE-style gas spring engineering, and the Lift-O-Mat line is built around controlled damping for precise motion. The 3B-838471 is designed to meet the application-specific requirements of the listed Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Prime fitments.
