Hood Strut Kits & Gas Hood Lift Supports

What Is a Hood Strut Kit?

A hood strut kit is a set of gas struts (hood lift supports) that hold the hood open on their own. It replaces the manual prop rod, so you do not have to prop the hood by hand.

Every hood strut kit in this section is a complete vehicle-specific installation kit, not a bare replacement strut. Each kit is supplied with the gas strut(s), vehicle-specific mounting brackets and hardware, and a vehicle-specific installation guide - a DIY-oriented complete solution designed to install in up to 30 minutes using factory mounting points, with no drilling and no body modification.
