Product Details

The StrongArm 6496 Hood Lift Support is a pressurized gas cylinder designed to provide smooth, controlled support for automotive hoods. This lift support replaces worn or failed original equipment struts that no longer hold your hood open safely.

Key Features:

  • Custom-engineered pressurized cylinder for reliable hood support
  • Manufactured to exceed OEM industry standards for durability
  • Provides smoother operation and longer service life than standard lift supports
  • Direct replacement for factory hood lift struts
  • Designed for easy installation with OEM-style mounting points

Important Installation Note: Lift supports should always be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced, safe support of your hood. Replacing only one side can result in uneven operation and potential safety hazards.

StrongArm lift supports are precision-manufactured to provide consistent gas pressure throughout their service life, ensuring your hood stays securely open during maintenance and inspections.

I Received the jack with a bent frame and unusable. The right side side plate at the rear caster was bent such that I can't pump the jack. The box packaging looked ok until I took the jack out of the box and tried to operate the jack. I called Brunnhoelzl Racing and spoke with Mr. Brunnhoelzl and he told me to return the jack due to freight damage. I called this morning to your Customer service department and spoke with Elzert who told me to take some pictures and email them to [email protected] as I have. The jack cost me $914.17 and I can't it. Bill Pagnano 707 544-3020

This site is great

Thank you.

It was fine. I would however like more detail on these parts. I looked into this gas cap with a lock that was under my search criteria but the description of the part was enough to determine if this will fit as it should. Pretty much going on a wim and making an assumption based on what I could see and it being under what I searched.

Very Convenient.
