The factory hood prop rod on the 2021-2026 Bronco is a minor but persistent annoyance every time you pop the hood for a fluid check, filter swap, or engine inspection. Rough Country's hydraulic hood struts replace that rod with a pair of gas-charged struts that automatically raise and hold the hood open, freeing both hands for whatever work is at hand. Mounting brackets position in the center of the hood for a clean, purposeful appearance that improves on the bare look of the stock setup.
Gas-charged lift, every time. The struts provide consistent lifting force so the hood rises smoothly and stays firmly open without any assistance. No more propping, no more balancing the hood against the windshield, and no risk of it dropping while your hands are inside the engine bay.
Bolt-on installation in about 30 minutes. The complete kit installs using standard hand tools with no cutting, drilling, or wiring required. Every bracket and fastener needed for a finished install is included in the box.
Limited lifetime replacement warranty. Rough Country backs these struts with a limited lifetime replacement warranty covering manufacturer defects, including structural and workmanship damage after the date of purchase.
