ARANA Hood Struts for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 2009–2020 — 2-Pc OEM-Fit Gas Lift, Corrosion-Resistant

These ARANA hood struts are direct-fit replacement gas lift supports designed to restore smooth, reliable hood opening for Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks from model years 2009–2020.

If your Ram’s hood no longer stays open or feels heavy to lift, a pair of worn hood struts is often the culprit. ARANA engineered this 2-piece set to match OEM fitment and everyday performance for trucks equipped with factory steel hoods. The parts are compatible with a wide range of Ram cab styles and trims when the original uses the listed OEM numbers—confirm match before ordering.

Will these ARANA struts fit my Dodge Ram model?

How durable are these hood gas struts in different climates?

ARANA built the struts from heavy-gauge materials and corrosion-resistant finishes so they maintain lift force and sealing from extreme cold to intense heat. They use high-grade hydraulic fluid and multi-layer chrome plating to resist leaks and surface oxidation that shorten service life.

• Material: industrial Grade 45 high-carbon steel with mirror chrome plating.
• Operational range: tested to perform between −40°F and 110°F.
• Long-life design: rated for over 50,000 compression cycles without significant force loss.

How easy is installation and what tools do I need?

Replacement takes just minutes and requires only a basic screwdriver—no special tools or professional service is necessary. The ARANA struts use common ball-stud quick-release fittings that make removal and fitment straightforward.

• Estimated install time: about 5 minutes for both sides.
• Tools: standard screwdriver; no drill or mechanic required.
• Installation tip: support the hood while swapping one strut at a time to ensure safety.

These struts are positioned as a budget-conscious, long-lasting replacement option and come backed by ARANA’s customer service. If you experience problems after delivery, the seller provides a one-year coverage window for help.
