## Description

Material: Constructed from black carbon steel with a polished piston rod and cylindrical body, this gas spring strut is built for long performance under regular hood
Design: Features eyelet mounting ends for secure, straightforward installation, and a compression-type gas spring with a 485 mm total length and 197 mm stroke for smooth, controlled movement.
Function: Acts as a-lid lift support rod that assists with opening and holds the vehicle front compartment lid a raised position, reducing strain during under-hood checks and tune-ups
Charging System: Filled with N2 as a N2-charged gas spring, delivering consistent, reliable tension and damping for secure hood positioning without sagging over time.
Compatibility: Designed as a direct replacement for vehicle hood support on pickup pickup 1500 and 2500 models produced between 2002 and 2010, ensuring a proper fit and matching performance.

This carbon-steel gas spring support support rod practical direct replacement for worn or failing hood struts on compatible pickup trucks. Built with a black carbon-steel cylindrical body and a polished piston rod, this gas spring strut resists and stands up to repeated use, so you can count on it for daily under-hood access and routine maintenance. Engineered with eyelet-style mounting ends on both sides, this compression-type gas spring installs cleanly and operates smoothly across its 485 mm total length and 197 mm stroke. The eyelet design creates a secure rotation center that lets the rod extend and retract naturally as the hood opens and closes, without binding or clumsy angles. As a-lid lift support rod, its primary job is to help you lift the hood with less effort and hold it safely in the open position. Whether you are checking fluid levels, replacing, or performing more detailed engine work, the rod takes the weight of the hood off your hands, giving you a stable, hands working space. Inside, it functions as a N2-charged gas spring, using compressed N2 to provide consistent lifting force and controlled damping. This pressurization helps the hood lift gently and rest put once open, reducing the risk of sudden drops and giving you predictable performance every time you lift the hood. Built specifically for vehicle hood support on pickup pickup 1500 and 2500 models from 2002 through 2010, this support rod is shaped and sized to match the original equipment fit. If your factory strut has lost its holding power or feels weak when you open the hood, swapping in this replacement can revive simple hood for everyday use and servicing tasks.
