OBS-HOOD-KIT
Our 1980-97 Ford OBS F-Series and Bronco Hood Strut Kit is designed to be a bolt-on replacement for the OEM Hood Support Springs. This product utilizes a gas strut on each side to support the hood, provides smooth operation and a clean modern look for your truck. Installation is almost entirely bolt-on utilizing pre-existing factory mounting locations.
The kit includes everything you need: Powder coated upper and lower mounting brackets, new hardware and struts.
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.
If you have a slightly bent hood don’t use the top bolt on the hood side of the mount it will hit the shock and take your minimum bent hood to a full on unusable hood 😑…
Very easy Install, and looks great. Works way better than the original hood springs.
Replaced the old hood springs with these gas filled struts and let me tell what a difference it is to open and close the hood…pure bliss.
Super easy install
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.
The block heater is very helpful for the older trucks, and adding the trickle charger was a stroke of genius on the part of OBS solutions and Carrick Customs! The bumper plug mount was easy to install, and it wasn't necessary to remove the front bumper. I recommend other enthusiasts purchase a rivet nut kit (from Harbor Freight or similar) to mount aftermarket accessories into sheet metal. This was my favored method to mount the charger, and it's possible to mount it so that the indicator LED is visible through the front grille when looking from a certain angle. Overall, I feel this kit has improved my ol' truck subtly, but significantly. It's very nice to have the block heater and charger all "nice and neat" instead of messing with dangling cords.
The s&b body mounts are great the make my truck ride so much better even with my bad shocks it rides night and day and the install tool that comes with them is a HUGE help thanks obs souloutions for all your help and always answering any questions i have had

Thought I had to purchase a new door because the tabs were broken off until I found this, super easy to install would definitely recommend

It wasn’t easy to adjust the doors correctly to the new hinges and strikers but was worth the work. Soon I’ll be installing the power amp steps so this was a must.
Super easy install
