Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift Plus for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007–2017 — Bolt‑in gas springs, black corrosion‑resistant finish

Redline Tuning's Hood Quicklift Plus 21-20002-02 replaces the factory prop rod on Jeep Wrangler JK models (2007–2017) with a durable, bolt-in pair of progressive-rate gas springs that lift and hold the hood smoothly and securely.

If you’re tired of wrestling a loose prop rod or want a cleaner, easier-to-access engine bay on your Wrangler JK, this Hood Quicklift Plus kit offers a direct-fit upgrade that requires no drilling or permanent modification. The system uses vehicle-specific mounting hardware that installs with simple hand tools and provides corrosion-resistant black-finish components plus a four-year warranty on Quicklift Plus parts.

How does this Hood Quicklift Plus make hood access easier?

The gas springs are engineered to assist one-handed opening and to hold the hood at full height without the prop rod. Progressive-rate valving provides controlled extension, so the hood rises smoothly and slows near full travel to reduce impact stress.

• One-hand lift: start the hood and springs complete the motion.
• End-of-stroke dampening: slows final inches to protect mounts and hood.
• Positive hold: keeps hood open securely for maintenance or display.

Will this kit fit my Jeep Wrangler JK and require modifications?

The 21-20002-02 Quicklift Plus is designed for Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2017 and uses existing factory mounting points. Installation is bolt-in only with standard hand tools — no drilling or cutting — however it is not compatible with AEV-modified hoods (see model 21-20005 for AEV specific fitment).

• Vehicle-specific brackets: uses OEM locations for a secure fit.
• No drilling or welding: reversible install preserves vehicle integrity.
• AEV hood exception: not compatible with AEV hoods — check alternate part.

What are the construction and corrosion-resistance features?

Quicklift Plus components are finished for long-term durability: steel mounting hardware is zinc-plated then black powder-coated, and the gas springs have black e-coated bodies with black annealed rods. These finishes reduce corrosion and maintain a factory-like appearance under the hood.

• Double-treated mounting hardware: zinc plating plus black powder coat.
• Black e-coated gas springs: resist rust and match engine-bay aesthetics.
• Tailored end fittings: designed specifically for the JK hood application.

How does the quick-release feature work and why is it useful?

Each lower strut attachment includes a quick-release mechanism so the struts can be detached easily when you need the hood to close fully against the windshield. Reattaching the struts is a simple snap-on action, returning the Quicklift function without tools.

• Quick-release lower fittings: detach the struts for full hood travel.
• Tool-free reconnection: snap struts back on to restore operation.
• Useful for transport, storage, or when hood must fold back.

Who is this for: The Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift Plus 21-20002-02 is tailored for Jeep enthusiasts and DIY owners of 2007–2017 Wrangler JKs who want a cleaner engine bay, easier one-handed hood access, and durable corrosion-resistant hardware. It’s ideal for owners who prefer bolt-in upgrades that preserve factory mounting points and for anyone avoiding AEV hood variants (which need a different part). If you value convenience, appearance, and long-term reliability without modifying the vehicle, this Quicklift Plus is a practical upgrade.
