AiYiGu Front Hood Strut Shock for 02-10 Dodge Ram

Built for compatibility across multiple Ram models and covered by a two-year warranty, this pair aims to bring back safe, reliable hood support without modification.

Which Dodge Ram years and models will these hood struts fit?

How do I install these replacement hood shocks?

Installation is designed to be simple and requires no extra screws or custom fasteners; the replacement lift arms snap into the vehicle’s existing brackets. Basic hand tools and a helper or support rod to hold the hood are all you typically need for a safe swap.

• Prop the hood securely with a rod or have an assistant hold it before starting.
• Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the old bracket clips and remove the worn struts.
• Line up the AiYiGu strut, press the new ball-socket ends onto the factory studs until they click.
• No screws included or required; verify secure engagement and test hood motion gently.

What are the physical specs and part replacements to check?

These gas struts are manufactured to match the compressed and extended lengths of many factory units and serve as replacements for several OEM numbers. Confirming length and part crossover ensures the correct fit and proper hood travel after installation.

• Compressed length: 10.98 inches; extended length: 18.98 inches.
• Sold as a pair (left and right); mounting hardware is not included.
• Replaces OEM part numbers such as 55276321AA/AB/AC, SG314036 and related codes.

Who is this for: These AiYiGu hood struts are aimed at Dodge Ram owners, mechanics, and restoration enthusiasts who need a direct-fit replacement for failing hood supports on 2002–2010 model years. Choose this pair if you want a straightforward swap that restores reliable hood lift and safety with a backed two-year warranty.
