How Lift Supports Work?

Gas-charged lift supports are energy storage devices which create energy by compressing gas inside a cylinder. When closed, the energy is stored. When opened, the energy is released to raise hoods, trunks, hatches and hold them safely in an open position.

StrongArm gas-charged lift supports typically store a gas charge of over 1500psi and cannot be compressed by hand. For safe and effective operation, the lift supports must match the specific application.

Why Replace Your Lift Supports?

Opening your vehicle’s hatch or checking under the hood should not be a serious safety hazard for you and your family.

Just like tire wear, your hood lifts and struts will lose strength over time. Temperature changes, frequent usage, and driving environments all affect the lift power. Smart drivers and mechanics periodically check the function of all vehicle lift support parts especially if the vehicle is five years or older.

Here's the best part - StrongArm lift supports are designed for the everyday driver to be installed in minutes with no special tools required.

  • Original lift supports
  • Easy, quick installation
  • No special tools required
  • OEM design and performance

StrongArm Lift Supports Installation Guide

StrongArm Lift Supports Installation Guide

Easy, Step-by-Step Instructions

Have someone hold the hatch, hood, trunk or rear window open while replacing the lift support. Do not use a prop rod.

  1. Turn off ignition. If old lift support has a window defogger electrical connector, carefully disconnect the fittings.
  2. Before removing old lift supports, examine any hardware provided to determine which components must be reused.
  3. Work on lift supports one at a time and do not remove both lift supports at the same time. Replace one, then remove and replace the second one.
  4. The new lift support must be installed in the same position as the old one which was removed, unless otherwise instructed. Do not nick or scratch chrome rod.
  5. Compare the end connectors of your lift support to the illustrations provided and see additional instructions below.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Always replace both lift supports when applicable to assure top performance
  • Carefully inspect all hinges and connecting points and replace if broken, old or fractured
  • Do not use a prop rod and have someone help you

Removable Ball Connectors

If your lift supports come with the ball connectors, remove old lift support by prying the retaining ring, cap lock or the security lock ring. Then press new lift support onto ball stud and properly install retainer.

Eyelet Connector

If your lift supports come with the eyelet connector, remove old lift support by unscrewing the mounting bolt or retaining clip. Install new lift support by using mounting bold or removing the retaining clip. Then, remove old lift support by prying the retaining clip off. Install new lift support by pressing against the vehicle mounting stud until the retaining clip snaps into place.

Eyelet Connector with Retaining Clip

If your lift supports come with the eyelet connector with retaining clip, remove old lift support by prying the retaining clip off. Then, install new lift support by pressing against the vehicle mounting stud until the retaining clip snaps into place.

Keyhole Slot Connector

If your lift supports come with the keyhole slot connector, slide the lift support so the keyhole slot can be lifted off the vehicle mounting stud. Then install the new lift support by sliding the keyhole slot over the vehicle mounting stud.
