Hood Strut Kit for '05-'15 Toyota Tacoma (High-Lift) by Spiker Engineering

Description

Pop
your Tacoma's hood
open
and watch it rise smoothly and effortlessly to a height of up to
8" above stock height
with this SPIKER Engineering ULTIMATE Lift hood strut kit.
Our kits utilize professional quality components, and are
100% Made in USA
, with an industry leading
5 year warranty
.
The custom designed gas struts are selected for their stroke and force profile to provide the perfect balance of high lift capability and good tactile feel for both opening and closing.
The mounting brackets are coated in a beautiful high-gloss black powder coat finish, for OEM look and ultimate durability.  Our kits use heavy duty multi-grip rivets, which grip perfectly even in oversized holes.
Our kits even include a positive drill bit stopper, which makes for safer drilling than using electrical tape as with other kits.
Please see our website for additional accessories such as the #10 drill bit that's recommended for the installation.
Lose the Hood
Prop Rod
Eliminating the prop rod gives you an engine compartment free and clear of obstacles, with easier access to all your projects.
No More Two-Handed Hood Opening or Closing
The struts in this kit have been selected to lift the hood smoothly to its fully open position, and to latch securely when closing, all with an easy one handed operation.
Selectable Height of Open Hood
A unique feature of this kit is the ability to choose the open hood
height, ranging
from the stock prop-rod height up to 8" higher, for unparalleled
lighting and access to the engine bay.
Installation
The kit comes with complete, detailed, color-illustrated step by step installation instructions.
