    Kit Description: Introducing Rough Country's Hydraulic Hood Assist for Jeep TJ, and LJ models. Easily and effortlessly access your engine components with this handy device. A set of gas charged struts help automatically raise the hood, increasing safety by avoiding the need to mess with the prop rod or rest the hood on the front windshield. An "RCX" branded mounting bracket rests firmly in the center of the hood, helping to facilitate the opening and closing process while giving a killer look to an otherwise barren area. This kit is incredibly easy to install, taking as little as 10 minutes. A handy extra you'll wonder how you ever did without!

    1 Top Rated Question

    With this would you be able to open the hood all the way back and lean it against the windshield? Or does it have a maximum opening allowance before the cylinders get extended too far?

    • These will limit the extent that the hood can be opened, but it will allow full access into the engine bay, giving roughly 70 degrees of movement.

      Hydraulic Hood Assist

      Recently installed the kit and it does make opening the hood much easier. I no longer have to hold the hood with one hand while wrestling with the strut with the other hand. I once had an experience with a strong gust of wind flipping the hood back against the windshield frame. Hopefully this item will guard against a repeat of that.

      Love this

      This works great, easy to install! Now I don't have to worry about dents in the hood from the windshield. I get a lot of comments on it.

      Pretty nifty add-on for your jeep

      Adds enough support that you can open your TJ hood with one hand! The pistons take over just a little bit into lifting the hood and props the hood about an inch higher than if held by the prop. Installation was a headache. The instructions where ok seemed not well written. The Youtube video helped a lot. Worth it and adds functionality.

      helpfull

      This product does the trick. Hands free, out of the way so you can work under the hood. It even lifts the hood up more than the standard holder does. Simple install. Thanks

      Works well

      Overall good product. Instructions could be more clear. When mounting lower ball joints be sure they are facing towards the engine. Also the correct wrench for the u clamps is 9/16 not 5/16.

      Rough Country Hydraulic Hood Assist

      I like the hood assist. It was a little harder to install than I originally thought, but still pretty simple.

    I have owned YJ’s and TJ’s in the past. After not owning one for several years I got the bug again and decided to go buy one. On a whim I saw this one and went to the dealership on the same day while my wife was at work and came home with it. She was a little bit surprised (mad) to see the Jeep in t...
