OTUAYAUTO Hood Lift Struts for Lexus GX470 & Toyota 4Runner (2003-2009) — Pack of 2, OEM Fit & Tested

OTUAYAUTO front hood lift struts replace worn original shocks on 2003–2009 Lexus GX470 and Toyota 4Runner hoods, restoring smooth, secure opening and stable support.

If your hood no longer stays open or opens unevenly, these replacement gas struts are built to match the original equipment geometry and restore reliable hood lift. Designed to the same fit points and lengths as OEM units, the pair comes with ball studs and lock washers to make installation straightforward. The assembly is bench-tested for long-life operation and supplied in a two-piece set for the vehicle's front hood.
