Product Details

The StrongArm 6168 Hood Lift Support is a precision-engineered gas strut designed to provide reliable support for automotive hoods. This pressurized cylinder delivers smooth, controlled lifting and lowering action to safely hold your vehicle's hood in the open position during maintenance and inspection.

Key Features:

  • Custom-engineered design manufactured to exceed industry standards
  • Pressurized gas cylinder for consistent, smooth operation
  • Durable construction for extended service life
  • Direct replacement for worn or failed OEM lift supports
  • Designed for automotive hood applications

Lift supports gradually lose pressure over time, causing hoods to drop unexpectedly or fail to stay open. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to ensure balanced support and safe operation. Regular replacement of worn lift supports prevents potential injury and damage to your vehicle's hood and painted surfaces.
