Product Description
StrongArm gas charged lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to provide smooth operation and durability. The hardened chromium plated steel shaft is precision ground and polished for superior corrosion resistance and leak free sealing. The self cleaning piston assembly automatically opens during each compression cycle to keep the orifice clear of fluid contaminants and provide smoother operation and reliable performance. Most units also utilize StrongArm's patented temperature compensation module valve which ensures consistent operation even in extreme weather conditions. It does so by compensating for normal gas pressure changes caused by temperature variations. The metallic upper bushing is manufactured with bearing quality precision to provide exact fit with pistion rod and promote a long operating life.

Hood Lift Support - Installation a breeze!! August 16, 2010

The StrongArm 4048 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hood Lift Supports I purchased did not disappoint. They arrived lightning fast. I did not wait for my husband to get home. I wanted to try to install them myself and surprise him!! Sooooo simple my child could have done it!! Very pleased with this product. Once installed, I shut the hood and re-opened it to see how they worked and the hood sprung right up! Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price.

I had to replace both lift supports on my '03 Jeep grand cherokee and was able to do so in only about 10 minutes with two of these. Installation is quick and simple with no special tools required.

Perfect fit for a 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Great price and quick delivery from Amazon. One-person installation in just 5 minutes for a pair using just a screwdriver. A pair of these holds the hood up with no slippage whatsoever.

I just bought a complete set of strongarm lift supports for the liftgate, rear glass, and hood for my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It works perfectly. They were very easy to install. I read the reviews and made sure I had a buddy help me hold things up, but it was so easy I think I probably could have done it by myself with a prop (although I wouldn't recommend it... safety first!).
The liftgate is the most difficult of the three to install, but the only difficulty is making sure you have the right torque bit (T-40?) for your ratchet (I borrowed it from a neighbor). Once you have that, it's as easy as removing two bolts and bolting the new lift supports in. I was worried about the supports being under pressure so I cautiously approached putting them in, but it turned out to be absolutely no worry at all. When the liftgate is open, the supports are in it's rest position so you don't need to pull or push on the supports at all. About the only thing you need to do is rotate the support arm 1/4 turn so you can bolt it in right. Also make sure you bolt the support in exactly the same way as the original (canister side up).
The other supports are easier to put in. The rear glass has only one bolt per support. I used a T24 bit which was a little small, but it was all I had and it worked good enough. I did this set on my own with a stick to prop to glass. The hood supports were even easier. No bolts required! You'll need a friend to hold up the hood, but just pop out the thin metal housing, wiggle off the supports and reverse the process for the new supports (took maybe 3 minutes to do both).
I am so thrilled to have these new supports in. I've been living with sagging supports for a few years now and had always meant to replace them, but thought it'd be a hassle or excessively expensive. With Amazon's great price ($5 discount for each pair) and free shipping (prime) I wonder why I didn't do it sooner.
I'll post this on the other support product pages so it'll be there too.
