How do I know if my gas strut needs replacing?

If your hood struggles to stay open or falls down on its own, the gas strut has likely lost pressure and needs to be replaced. Replacing the strut will restore the hood's ability to stay open without manual support.

Is this gas strut sold individually or as a pair?

This Rugged Ridge gas strut is sold individually. If you want to replace both struts on your hood lift kit, you'll need to order two of these.

What tools are needed for installation?

The manufacturer states this is easy to install. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific tools and procedures.

Product Details

Features stamped steel construction with a sturdy 3-bar handle, 20-liter capacity (5.28-gallons), a red gloss finish and also includes hinged fuel cap with safety latch and locking pin. Meets DOT regulations for safe transport of fuel in an approved can carrier, such as 12021.62. For flexible spout, use 17722.32. For green Jerry Can, use 17722.30.Your gas strut is filled with inert gas at several hundred psi to provide the spring force that lifts and holds open the structures they support. Eventually, oil and gas makes their way out of the strut, resulting in a hood that won't stay up on its own. This replacement hood lift gas strut from Rugged Ridge fits the 11252.50 hood lift kit and replaces those that lose the spring force over time. Sold individually. Easy to install.
