Frequently asked questions
Before You Order
Quick answers about fitment, installation, protection, and care.
Does installation require drilling?
No. The brackets install at the existing factory mounting points without drilling, cutting, or permanently modifying the vehicle.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes two gas hood struts, vehicle-specific steel mounting brackets, installation hardware, and installation instructions.
Can the hood be opened with one hand?
Yes. Lift the hood slightly and the gas struts help raise it smoothly, making under-hood access easier without positioning the factory prop rod.
Do the hood struts replace the factory prop rod?
They replace the need to use the factory prop rod during normal hood operation. The dual gas struts support the hood from both sides once correctly installed.
