Hold the hood up and take the strain out of every under-hood job with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-190523 (also written 5B190523). This hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2003 Ford F-150, the 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, the 1995-1999 Ford F-250, and the 1997-2003 Ford Lobo — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Measuring 13.19 inches, this Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses an oil-channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston, finely tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations, to provide the smooth, controlled motion engineered for this application. A precision seal-guide system and high-quality materials back its durable, reliable performance. If a worn or leaking strut can no longer hold your hood up, this replaces it — for best results, replace lift supports in pairs.

Should I replace both hood lift supports at once?
