Are you tired of reaching around the prop rod to tighten up the header bolts, or running the back of your head into the prop rod when working on your Mustang? Eliminate the hood prop rod today with a hood QuickLIFT system from Redline Tuning. Most Mustang owners spend a lot of time in the garage installing countless after-market parts which require a ton of time under the hood. Redline Tuning has carefully engineeried a hood QuickLIFT system for your Mustang that will eliminate the need for the prop rod. Redline includes only the best components, custom designed for your vehicle. All of our hardware is produced to exacting standards and this results in a smooth operating, easy to install hood QuickLIFT system. Two custom gas springs will lift and raise your hood from mid-height, holding it securely open. The benefits are endless and you will gain a lot of room to work without the prop-rod in your way. The hood will slowly raise over the final inches, allowing a smooth and safe opening for all types of hoods. The system will support stock hoods, SMC, fiberglass, carbon-fiber, Aluminum, basically any material. Different kits are available to fit any budget! Select from above. Here's a breakdown of the differences. QuickLIFT Rod: Gas-spring uses a strong annealed steel rod with a Nitride coating for added corrosion resistance (black in color). They are cycle tested by independent lab over 73,000 times - gas-springs deviated less than 1% of initial rated force. Tube: E-Coat black painted steel tube tested to give up to 480 hr. salt spray. Heavy wall thickness for better dent resistance and low stress. Piston Pack: Labyrinth design, uses carefully engineered oil passages. Uses threaded nut design and 100% tested. Not temperature or viscosity sensitive. Consistent damping through the oil and Nitrogen gas. Seal/Bushing Package: Dynamic Seal, Excellent at high pressures, Accepts misalignment, Tolerates some contaminates, Stands up to vibration, Withstands side-loading. Gas Spring Assembly: Gas springs cycle reliably at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 180°F, Excellent at low temperatures, Withstands 410F paint oven, Low parts count (less error), Prevents cocking & sticking. Mounting Brackets: Zinc-plated Steel brackets with ball-stud end fittings for gas-spring attachment. Mounting Hardware: Steel rivets and hardened steel self-tapping screws (components vary based on Quick-Lift design) QuickLIFT Plus Redline Tuning's latest release, a cross between the base QuickLIFT kit and QuickLIFT ELITE. All black components, including: the QuickLIFT black e-coated gas springs, black shafts, ball-stud end fittings & black powder-coated brackets (from the ELITE kit) along with the best mounting hardware. QuickLIFT Elite Rod: The ultimate 316L stainless steel rod and tube, precision ground and highly polished (silver in color). Uses proprietary Hard Chrome plating with Passivation option for superior corrosion protection. Tube: Full Stainless Steel construction. All stainless steel parts also have prepared surfaces to give additional hardness and corrosion resistance. Heavier wall thickness for better dent resistance and low stress. Piston Pack: Self-cleaning orifice reduces clogging & prevents lockup. Short Orifice. Not temperature or viscosity sensitive. Consistent damping through the oil and Nitrogen gas. Orbitally riveted & 100% tested Seal/Bushing Package: Multi-lobe Dynamic Seal, Teflon washer acts as wiper, Lubricated tapered bronze bushing prevents cocking and lockup, Excellent at high pressure, Accepts misalignment, Tolerates some contaminates, Stands up to vibration, Withstands side-loading. Gas Spring Assembly: Gas springs cycle reliably at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 180°F, Patented assembly process, All Metal Construction, Excellent at low temperatures, Withstands 410F paint oven, Low parts count (less error), Prevents cocking & sticking Mounting Brackets: Black powder-coated brackets made from Zinc-plated Steel, Each bracket has a ball-stud fitting for gas-spring attachment Mounting Hardware: Steel rivets and hardened steel self-tapping screws (components vary based on Quick-Lift design) Application: 1979-1998 Mustangs
