Hood gas shocks (no-drill) - recommendations?

[Wheelin98TJ]

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

I got same style, just steel.

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

If they don't, call them and let them know.
They will work with you to get the right ones for your ride.

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?

I did the Redline Tuning set off Amazon 2 years ago and they work great! 2020 Overland. Well made product. They use existing bolt holes and also unhook easily if you ever need to lay the hood back for easier access to anything like battery changeout + Aux battery changeout (located under the fuse box array).
Aluminum hood version is $99
Steel hood version is $129: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JN9PH3J?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ct_WEJE2H1FW4C3VZDNAZ1R

It appears so. Others have commented on this too. I have a Sport S that came with an aluminum hood. Same style as my old one.

Redline. Easy install.

I have Rival on my JK, (steel hood), and Gladiator, (aluminum hood). Have worked well and easy to install.

Sorry old and confused. Have a 2020 gladiator overland. Is the hood steel or aluminum. Actually thought the thing was plastic. how do I tell if aluminum or steel.? Thanks

 

[Svenable]

Try a magnet. Probably the easiest way to tell if it is steel.
