RIVAL 2A.ST.2703.1 Hood Lift Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK
The RIVAL 2A.ST.2703.1 hood lift kit is designed for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Two Stabilus gas struts assist with hood operation and support it in the open position, eliminating the need to use the original prop rod during routine checks or work in the engine bay.
Key benefits
- Two Stabilus gas struts selected for this vehicle application.
- Vehicle-specific brackets mount to existing OE fixing points.
- No drilling or cutting is required.
- Zinc-flake coated mounting components provide corrosion protection.
- Struts, dedicated brackets, installation hardware and instructions are included.
Practical engine-bay access
The twin gas-strut arrangement supports the hood without the original prop rod getting in the way. This makes routine inspection, maintenance and work around accessories in the engine compartment more convenient.
Vehicle compatibility
Part number 2A.ST.2703.1 is specified for the Jeep Wrangler JK from 2007 to 2018. The installation instructions list compatibility as “all types”. RIVAL's regional product information additionally states that the kit is intended for the factory hood and is not compatible with aftermarket hoods.
Before installation, check that any additional engine-bay equipment does not interfere with the brackets or the travel of the gas struts.
Construction
RIVAL lists steel as the product material and specifies a 4.0 mm material thickness. The mounting components use a zinc-flake coating, while the gas struts are supplied by Stabilus.
Installation
The vehicle-specific brackets use the Wrangler JK's original mounting points, with no drilling or cutting required. The official installation guide specifies an approximate installation time of 30 minutes and identifies 10 mm and HEX 4 tools among those required.
After installation, RIVAL recommends smoothly opening and closing the hood several times and checking that the struts and brackets do not contact surrounding vehicle components.
