TSUBASA Lift Supports for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 907 910 VS30 2018-2024 Front Bonnet Hood Modify Gas Struts Shock Dampers Spring Rod 2PCS (Black Carbon Fiber)

I bought these to eliminate the dreaded one hand lift and hold while trying to place the hood hold up rod on my Sprinter. I looked at many brands, and these seemed to be reasonable quality at a decent price, and they are! They are good quality, very good price, and very easy to install. I looked at other brands but the price was very high compared to these. The install was about 15 minutes, and I did have to place a flat washer under the bottom bracket to raise the bracket just a little bit to keep it from rubbing on the fender frame. Do not fret when you install these thinking they are seized as they are not. You cannot move the gas lift by hand, and have to install them, then raise and lower the hood and the pistons will adjust. Time will tell how they hold up, but it is great just lifting the hood and not doing the one hand hold anymore! I recommend these!

Super impressed by this. Quick install, works great. They somehow found the perfect amount of stiffness to keep the hood up, but easy to close with little effort.Other options are $150 or more.

Great value & work fine. Installation is a bit more difficult than the reviews state & the instructions are just a picture of what the struts look like assembled so not much help. Here’s what I learned:Get someone to hold the hood up while the struts are installed or find something to prop the hood up. One of the struts uses the hole that the stock hood brace fits into. Would have been very easy if I knew all of this before I started.

purchased X AUTOHAUX version and the brackets were too small junk. these brackets are excellent build quality and size and fit the winnebago REVEL, 2019 mercedes sprinter perfectly. super easy install. they hold the hood up fine. we will see how the shocks hold up over time. like 1/3 the vanlife/overlander store cost. get em while you can.

I bought this and paid someone to install on my sprinter van since I'm struggling to raise the heavy hood. But now I regret that I replaced the original hood stand. I realized why MB didn't use a hydraulic shock to keep their hood open. It’s super heavy and for safety reason, manual stand is the best option.I found out that when you use these shocks, you need to open the hood all the way, othersiwe the heavy hood will slowly come down and when it's about halfway, it will suddenly slam down violently that if your hands or you head are inside, you may seriously get hurt.These hydraulic shocks are not capable of keeping the hood open halfway. It's not strong enough. Just be mindful when you already have these installed. I don't recommend these shocks.

Quick and easy to install. Was impressed with how good they work. So far so good it isn’t something that will be overused. Would buy again if needed.

Purchased this for my 2022 Mercedes sprinter van. The factory hood prop was always annoying in my opinion.When I search the web for a hood shock solution, I was actually surprised that the ones that popped up were up to $150 someone that said it before, but these pneumatic shocks are relatively inexpensive so when I found this kit on Amazon for $42 I figured to give it a try.Insulation was very simple with some hand tools. You need a 10 mm socket and 12/13 mm opening. Wrenches insulation takes only a few minutes, but you need someone to help you hold the hood up while you work on it.When you’re ready to attach the strut to the hood, do not compress them with your hand to try to fit if the shock is too long just hold the hood up higher until the ball socket connects then you’re in good shape

Bidenomics got you strapped, these will save you a hundred bucks. These hood lifts are easy to install and have worked excellent so far. My friend and I have the same van, except he bought his support kit from a big names overlanding accessories store, and I got mine from this seller on Amazon. He paid a hundred bucks more for virtually the same product.
