The perfect solution for those hard to handle Jeep hoods! Each hood lift kit features two gas shocks and all the necessary mounting hardware to turn your manual opening hood to a soft opening hood design. Once installed, this hood lift will hold open your hood when fully extended. Replaces that cumbersome hood prop. Double shocks assist in hood opening making it easier and more convenient to work on your engine or check fluids.
Simplefies working under the hood. Wish it opened a little more.
I wanted this to work but my first issue was that the "u" bolts did not line up with the flat plate holes and the holes were too small to fit the "u" bolts. I ended up having custom bracket made to fix this problem. Then I went to finish the install and the support lifts are too powerful that you cannot even close the hood without bending the radiator support rods. Now I have to go out and purchase ones that are not so powerful. I called Rugged Ridge and after several calls about the bracket they said I could return and get money back or they would give me a $100.00 credit to purchase another product from them (which I got floor mats). Of course this part happened after the bracket issue and before I found out about the lift supports :( I would strongly advise not to buy this product as after doing more research that this problem dates back to 2019 and still not fix, poor quality control on their part.
