QiMox Hood Lift Supports for Toyota 4Runner & Lexus GX470 2003–2009 — 2-Pack Direct-Fit Gas Struts

QiMox hood lift supports are direct-fit gas struts designed to restore smooth opening and secure holding for Toyota 4Runner and Lexus GX470 hoods from 2003–2009.

If your hood sags, slams, or no longer stays open, these QiMox replacement struts give your vehicle back the controlled lift and steady hold that OEM parts provided when new. Built as a direct-fit swap for the factory units, they match recommended dimensions and mounting angles so installation is simple and no drilling is required.

Will these fit my Toyota 4Runner or Lexus GX470?

Yes—these supports are sized and configured for 2003–2009 Toyota 4Runner and Lexus GX470 models. Always verify your original part number against the included OEM number list to confirm compatibility before purchase.

• Direct-fit: matches factory mounting points and travel range
• Dimensions: extended 17.95" and compressed 11.18" for correct geometry
• OEM numbers provided to cross-check fit

How durable are the QiMox hood lift supports?

These struts use Grade 45 high-carbon steel, multi-layer chrome plating, and anti-wear hydraulic oil to withstand daily use and varied climates. They're rated for long life and designed to resist leaks, corrosion, and pressure loss under normal operating conditions.

• Rated for 50,000+ compression cycles for long-lasting function
• Chrome-plated surfaces resist rust and oxidation
• Operational temperature range from -40°F to 110°F

How hard is installation and what’s included?

Installation is a straightforward, drill-free process that takes about five minutes and requires only basic hand tools like a screwdriver. The package includes two struts and necessary end fittings to replace the original hood supports.

• No drilling or welding; uses factory-style ball-stud mountings
• Two-piece set replaces both hood struts for balanced lift
• Simple DIY steps: remove old struts, snap on new fittings, test hood travel

What maintenance or precautions should I follow?

These gas struts are low-maintenance but should be checked periodically for secure fittings and clean surfaces. Replace both struts at the same time to ensure balanced lift and avoid over-stressing one side.

• Inspect mounts and seals annually for wear or leaks
• Keep piston rods clean and free of grit to prevent seal damage
• Replace both struts together for even hood support

Who is this product for? QiMox hood lift supports are intended for DIY vehicle owners and independent mechanics who drive a 2003–2009 Toyota 4Runner or Lexus GX470 and want a reliable, OEM-style replacement for worn or failed hood struts. They suit anyone who prefers a quick, drill-free swap with durable components rated for extended use and varied climates, and who will verify fit using the listed OEM numbers before ordering.
