Description
This kit converts the hood hinges on a 1999–2006 Chevy or GMC NBS truck from the factory springs to gas struts. The struts damp the hood on the way up and on the way down, so it opens and closes smoothly instead of fighting a tired spring.
Features
- Stabilus struts.
- Laser cut steel mounting plates.
- All required hardware included.
- Full color detailed instructions.
- Improves alignment, mounting, rigidity and support over the factory springs.
Fitment notes
We only recommend using this kit with steel hoods. It is designed to open the hood roughly to the height of the cab roof, which looks good at a show but is worth picturing in your own garage first.
Kits for other years are on the hood strut kits page.

Common questions
What comes in the kit?
Stabilus gas struts, laser cut steel mounting plates, all required hardware and full colour instructions - everything needed to convert the factory spring hinges to gas struts.
Will it work with a fibreglass hood?
The kit is designed for steel hoods only.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1999–2006 Chevy and GMC Sierra, Silverado, Suburban and Yukon. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by USPS. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.

Instructions were Super easy to follow and the setup was easy to install. The quality is also 10/10. I finally have something that will hold up my hood without using a stick.
