        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.

            Great hood lift

            Rough country hydraulic hood lift was a great addition when my hood prop broke, supports the hood when it’s open, one hand opening and looks great

            Horrible design

            After 5 hours of trying to align the gas shocks, I finally got one to hold closed the hood heard a large bang, and yes the shock had popped out. Extremely poor design, the upper portion is ok but mounting the lower u-clamps to the thin jeep support rods is a horrible design. Don't waste your money.

            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.
