Rival 4x4 2A.ST.2702.1 Hood Lift Kit for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & 20-24 Gladiator JT

One of the easiest mods I've done to the JL. Watched the video a few times and actually brought it up while doing the install just to be 100% sure I was doing it right...the first time. Super easy and what took the longest was inserting the 2nd screw on the top part.....getting it straight without moving around was challenging, so I tightened up the one inserted first and it brought it close to where I could insert the other one. I was able to pump the shocks 5-6 times with zero issues. Just be careful not to do it too hard and bend it. Overall love that I don't have to mess with the prop rod....Neighbors must have thought I was crazy cuz I must have opened and closed the hood 10 times testing it.....love it.

Installed the Rival hood kit today. Nice, easy, no-mod install. Parts fit perfectly on my ‘21 Rubi.

Took me more than 15 minutes but less than 30 because I just took my time. The upper brackets did cover over onto the hood pad just enough that if I ever want to remove the pad, I’ll have to loosen up those brackets.

I’m often skeptical of some hardware-type mods because some can be tricky or just don’t work right. No such issue here.

These are stiff shocks. As soon as I un-latch the hood, it lifts easily by itself. For the money, this is a great addition.

And as always, Quadratec shipped fast and packaged it up well. Their videos are great too.

Just ordered it last week, installed a couple of days ago. Easy to install, no mods needed. Works great. Instructions say to compress and release the shocks about 5 times before installation. I found it very hard to do. Therefore, I installed, then lifted and lowered the hood about 10 times. Seems to work. Love the hood lift kit. Jeep should have included these.
