A-Premium Front Hood Lift Supports for Ford F-150/F-250/Expedition — 13.3" Extended Length, Pair

A-Premium front hood lift supports are a two-piece replacement strut set designed to reliably hold open the hood on select Ford trucks and SUVs, restoring smooth, safe hood operation.

If your vehicle’s hood no longer stays up or opens unevenly, this pair of gas lift supports provides the force and fitment needed to return the hood to factory-like performance. Manufactured to match common OEM reference numbers and shipped in protective packaging, the set includes both left and right front hood struts for an easy, one-stop replacement. These struts are sold as a pair and are intended for specific Ford model years — confirm compatibility before ordering.

Which Ford models and years are these lift supports built to fit?

These lift supports are engineered to fit front hood applications for several Ford vehicles across model years in the 1990s and early 2000s. They cover popular trucks and an SUV but exclude some heavy-duty variants.

• Ford Expedition: 1997–2006
• Ford F-150: 1995–2004
• Ford F-250: 1995–2004
• Ford F-250 HD: 1997 (front hood, left and right)
• Not compatible with F-250 Super Duty models

How do I confirm correct fitment for my vehicle?

Before purchasing, match the strut length and part references to your vehicle’s requirements. The correct extended length for this set is specified to avoid ordering the wrong size.

• Extended length: 13.30 inches — this set is not the 15.79" length
• Cross-reference numbers: 4478, SG404016, 8195691, 10466, 3372LV
• OEM reference examples: F65Z-16C826-AA, 2L1Z-16C826-AA, 2L14-16C826-AA
• Use your vehicle year/make/model selector at the top-left of the listing to verify fit

What comes in the package and what quality assurances are included?

The product ships as a two-piece set with protective packaging and a warranty offering buyer protection. This helps ensure you receive both matching struts ready for installation and support if issues arise.

• Package contents: 2 lift supports (left and right front hood)
• Packing: thick cardboard protection to reduce transit damage
• Warranty: 1-year unlimited-mileage quality guarantee
• Support: customer service available for fit or quality concerns

How do these lift supports perform and how are they installed?

These gas struts provide steady lifting force and smooth damping when opening or closing the hood. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools and includes clip-style or bolt attachments depending on vehicle bracket type.

• Function: steady gas-assisted lift and hold for the hood
• Replacement ease: remove old struts and attach new units to factory brackets
• Hardware: fits common hood mounting points; check bracket style before starting
• Do not modify length or mounting points — use exact fitment for safe operation

Who is this for: Drivers and mechanics who need a reliable, like-for-like replacement for worn or failed front hood gas lifts on compatible Ford trucks and SUVs. This two-piece A-Premium kit suits owners restoring proper hood support on Expedition, F-150, F-250, and similar models from the specified years, and it’s especially useful for anyone replacing both sides at once to achieve balanced performance.
