Description
The pogo stick prop rod on a 1982–1993 Chevy or GMC S10, Blazer or Jimmy is a nuisance, and it doesn't hold the hood very high. This kit replaces it with gas struts — smoother to open, better damped on the way down, and several inches more clearance under the hood.
Features
- Laser-cut, precision-formed firewall and hood mounting brackets.
- Heavy-duty sealed bearing gas struts.
- Billet hood strut brackets bolt straight up with the supplied stainless steel hardware.
- Fender brackets screw into the factory inner fenders, hardware supplied.
- Opens the hood several inches higher than the stock pogo stick.
- Made in the USA, with a 3 year warranty.

Hood Strut Kit (Hood Shock) - 82-93 Chevy S10 / Jimmy / Blazer
Common questions
What comes in the kit?
Laser cut, formed firewall and hood mounting brackets, two heavy duty sealed bearing gas struts and all the required mounting hardware.
How long does it take to install?
Figure on 20 to 30 minutes. The hood brackets bolt up. On 1994-2004 trucks each fender bracket is held with two rivets, and the rivets and a pilot drill come in the kit; on 1982-1993 trucks the fender brackets screw into the factory inner fenders.
Will the hood open higher than the prop rod?
Yes. It opens the hood several inches higher than the factory pogo stick prop rod.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, a 3 year warranty. The kits are made in the USA.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1982–1993 Chevy and GMC S10 Blazer, S15, S15 Jimmy, S10 and Sonoma. 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.
