Hood gas shocks

[sakahowdah]

Just bought a 2026 Gladiator. I'm looking for some hood gas shocks that actually work. My hood is NOT aluminum or fiberglass. Can anyone advise on a no drill pair of shocks that can lift a metal hood?

Redline Tuning, but make sure you get the version for the Mojave (steel hood).

I have these also. Work great.

I have Hooke Road on my Mojave with steel hood.

Another vote for Redline Tuning for Mojave. Had them on both Gladiators for years and they have held up…pun intended!

Didn't know I needed these until I tried to lift the steel hood I got from a bubbling paint warranty claim.

The Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT PLUS System is exactly what you need.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered shocks for Mojave version. Got my fingers crossed that this will work.

^^^ This. Got my Gladiator back from paint/replace warranty, and the new steel hood is heavy!

Another vote for Redline. My JTM hood is steel and weighs a ton. The struts lift it like it's a feather. Absolutely no drilling required. Just make sure you pick the correct struts for your rig.

My 2024 Mojave hood is not aluminum. The hood struts work fine.

They're currently a little cheaper if you buy them direct from Redline.

$90 + about $9 shipping vs $130 from Amazon.

These are the steel hood ones from Redline for those who need a link:

Whoa. We're getting steel hoods? Is it the same style, just steel? Or something different?

My truck is going in later this year to claim the hood corrosion

Mojave have steel. Apparently newer model Rubicon also
