Minor drilling on the passenger side is required. Please see our YouTube Video and Installation Instructions for more details.
We accept product returns within 30-days after you have received your order. All returns are subject up to a 20% restocking fee after approval.
My 3rd set and these are great. Hood opens further than stick springs, it’s smooth to open and close, and I’m not worried about creasing the hood now.
This is a long overdue kit. worked great. Thank You
Works smooth!
The truck I just bought was missing its hood springs. This is a far better option than tracking down a new set and rolling the dice on if they’d be in good shape. Parts arrived well packed and were shipped quickly. The install was super smooth with the slick little template provided. They attach firmly and open smoothly. Way better than some generic kit with tiny brackets and pop rivets. The guys are killing the game with their innovation and quality!!
Doing a frame up resto on my 96 F350 CC LB 4X4 Diesel. This kit is a great clean upgrade to the OEM hood springs. Install was quick and easy. All mocked up before paint.
Looks amazing
Couldn’t wait to install my brake lines on my OBS ford with super duty axles. They went right on, no problems, and look great.
I loved how simple they made this kit to install and how it incorporates the cooler mounts too. Super clean and straightforward.
Almost like they read my mind. I was trying to figure out a solution for a backup camera for so long. This is absolutely perfect. Amazing fit and finish.
The part fit perfectly and was easy to install. Keep making parts I need to get another 30 yrs out of this truck
Thanks
These went in pretty dang easy on my crew cab. Install took me a day, and most of that was just the wiring. The brackets fit perfect and they make for a sturdy step. My only hang up were the switches, after putting some noalox on the sheet metal screws they worked great.
Brake light bushing kit solved the problem. Kit wasn't available from a dealer thankfully I could get it here.
They are nicely designed and work as intended, and barely noticeable which was what I wanted, and that's why I'm not dropping a star. That said, I should also mention that $80 for a set of 4 small die cut plastic pieces is a bit too much.
