AiYiGu Front Hood Strut Shocks for Dodge Ram 2002–2010 — Pair, Gas-Charged OEM Fit (10.98"–18.98")

This pair of hood lift supports from AiYiGu restores smooth, controlled opening and secure hold of the front hood on compatible Dodge Ram trucks. Built to match the OEM fit dimensions, each gas-charged strut compresses to 10.98 inches and extends to 18.98 inches, and the set replaces several factory part numbers so installation is straightforward for most DIYers and pro mechanics.

Will these struts fit my Dodge Ram and which years are covered?

These hood shocks are designed specifically for many Dodge Ram pickups across the 2002–2010 model range and several later model overlaps. Check your truck’s year and compare the compressed/extended lengths to your existing strut before ordering.

• Compatible: 2002–2013 Ram 1500 and 2002–2010 Ram 2500/3500; 2008–2010 Ram 4500/5500
• Replaces OEM numbers: 55276321AA / AB / AC and several equivalents
• Pair includes left and right struts; verify mounting style matches your vehicle

How easy is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is simple and requires no special fasteners—these struts use the same snap-on style mounting as the originals. You only need basic tools and a helper or prop to support the hood while you swap the supports.

• No screws included or typically required; uses push-fit ball sockets
• Recommended: flathead screwdriver to pry off old brackets and a hood prop or assistant
• Typical install time: 10–30 minutes for both sides

What are the physical specifications and what does the package include?

Each strut is gas-charged and engineered to match OEM stroke lengths so lift and hold forces feel factory-correct. The pair ships ready to install with left and right units; hardware is not supplied since most installations reuse factory ball studs.

• Compressed length: 10.98 inches
• Extended length: 18.98 inches
• Package contains two struts (left and right); no mounting screws included

What warranty and support does AiYiGu provide?

AiYiGu backs these hood strut shocks with a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If anything seems off after installation, their customer support can help with troubleshooting, replacement, or warranty claims.

• 24-month limited warranty from purchase date
• Contact AiYiGu for returns or questions about fitment
• Inspect parts on arrival and before installation for damage

Who is this for: This replacement set is aimed at Dodge Ram owners, DIY mechanics, and professional service shops needing a reliable, direct-replacement hood support. It suits those who want OEM-like fit and operation without custom modification, especially for Ram 1500 through 5500 trucks from the specified years. If your hood no longer stays open, opens unevenly, or the existing struts feel weak, this paired kit is a practical repair option.
