ROUGH COUNTRY Hydraulic Hood Struts | Jeep Wrangler TJ

The Rough Country Hydraulic Hood Struts are the simplest and most useful upgrade for your Jeep Wrangler TJ (97-06) and Wrangler Unlimited (04-06). They replace the awkward factory prop rod with a hydraulic system that lifts the hood smoothly and holds it firmly in place.

• Assisted lift: the hood rises on its own when unlatched.
• Firm hold: resists wind and vibration, perfect for engine work.
• Heavy-duty build: steel hydraulic pistons with corrosion-resistant finish.
• Easy install: bolt-on, no cutting or welding. Hardware included.
• Complete kit: 2 struts for balanced operation.

A practical upgrade you will notice every time you pop the hood, both in the garage and out on the trail. No more pinched fingers or prop rods slipping while you check the engine.

Installation: approximately 30 minutes with basic tools. No permanent vehicle modifications required.
