AiYiGu front hood strut shocks are a direct-fit replacement pair that lift and hold the heavy front hood on 2017–2022 Ford F250, F350, F450 and F550 Super Duty trucks.

If your Super Duty hood feels heavy, drops unexpectedly, or its factory lift supports are worn, these gas struts restore smooth, controlled opening and reliable support. Designed to match OEM lengths and mounting style, the AiYiGu set replaces specific OEM part numbers so you get the correct compression and extension range for safe daily use.

Will these struts fit my 2017–2022 Ford F250/F350/F450/F550?

Yes — these hood shocks are built for Super Duty trucks from model years 2017 through 2022. They are supplied as a left and right pair and match common OEM replacement codes so installation uses the existing mounting points.

• Compatible models: Ford F250, F350, F450, F550 Super Duty (2017–2022)
• OEM cross-reference: PM3986, 669930, 670169, 670886, 671125 and equivalents
• Supersedes part numbers like HC3Z16C826A and LC3Z16C826A
• Sold as a 2-piece kit (left + right), no screws included

How do these struts compare in size and motion to the originals?

AiYiGu hood struts are manufactured to the same working lengths used by the original equipment to keep hood travel and clearance consistent. The pair performs predictable compression and extension so the hood lifts smoothly and stays open at its designed angle.

• Compressed length: 10.24 inches (approx.)
• Extended length: 17.28 inches (approx.)
• Gas-charged damping for controlled opening and closing
• Left and right units matched for balanced operation

What’s involved in installation — do I need tools or parts?

Installation is designed to be straightforward and uses the truck’s existing brackets; no additional screws are required. A flathead screwdriver is typically all that’s needed to remove the old bracket clips and snap the new strut into place, but always support the hood before removing any supports.

• No extra fasteners supplied — uses original mounting points
• Remove old clips with a flathead, then press new ball-socket ends onto mounts
• Prop the hood with a rod or have an assistant hold it for safety
• Installation time: usually under 30 minutes for both sides

What warranty and durability features does AiYiGu provide?

AiYiGu backs these hood struts with a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects so you can replace worn supports with confidence. They are built to withstand repeated cycles typical for pickup truck hoods and to resist everyday road and weather exposure.

• 24-month manufacturer warranty from AiYiGu
• Durable seals and gas charge designed for regular use
• Corrosion-resistant finish for external durability
• Quality checked to meet replacement part expectations

Who is this for? These AiYiGu front hood strut shocks are ideal for owners of 2017–2022 Ford F250, F350, F450 and F550 Super Duty trucks whose factory hood supports are weak, noisy, or failing.
