Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6646 Hood Lift Support is a specific fit part designed to meet the exact requirements of Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty models. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish provides durability and resistance to environmental wear. The lift support features a 15.25-inch compressed length and extends up to 26.0 inches, allowing for full hood opening and secure holding. The 18.0 mm cylinder diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter contribute to the strength and stability needed for heavy truck hoods. Equipped with nylon ball socket ends—one 10mm and the other a 16-degree angled 16mm—this lift support ensures a precise and secure fit to the hood and frame mounting points. The absence of an internal rebound spring reduces complexity and potential failure points, while rubber and Teflon materials enhance smooth operation and longevity.
