The system will install exactly like our QuickLIFT PLUS system - purchase based on the look you would like.

Our 2011-2019 Ford Explorer Hood QuickLIFT System is a bolt-in system. You will not need to alter your vehicle in any way, other than a slot in the hood liner for our ball-stud to pop thru for upper strut attachment - this does not hurt the vehicle. We designed brackets that sit on top of the shock tower bolts, spanning two of them - one bracket on each side. Then, we have a patent-pending hood attachment that slips a blind insert into an existing hole in the hood's understructure. This system will take no more than 10-15 minutes to install with a simple socket wrench.
✔ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT Systems are designed to clean up your engine bay by eliminating your hood prop rod. One-handed operation, simply start to lift the hood and it will rise unassisted in a smooth and controlled motion. Redline Tuning is the worldwide leader in aftermarket Hood QuickLIFT systems since 2002 with hundreds of vehicle-specific applications.
✔ BOLT-IN SYSTEM - This Hood QuickLIFT System is designed and engineered to use existing locations for our vehicle-specific mounting hardware.
✔ QuickLIFT ELITE - BEST AVAILABLE COMPONENTS - All of our installation hardware is designed to last and we spare no expense on the details. First, we zinc plate all steel-mounting hardware, then each bracket is also black powder-coated for the ultimate in corrosion protection. QuickLIFT ELITE includes 316L stainless steel gas springs. There is a five-year warranty on all QuickLIFT ELITE components.
✔ STAINLESS STEEL GAS SPRINGS - The gas springs used in our ELITE series are 316L Stainless steel (brushed silver in color). The end fittings used are designed specifically for each application. Gas spring orientation is always body end up (large tube attaching to hood) and extending rod attaching to lower ball stud.
✔ PROGRESSIVE-RATE GAS SPRINGS - Redline Tuning gas springs are not off-the-shelf parts, they are designed by us and manufactured to our specifications for each vehicle application. Our exclusive end-of-stroke dampening slows the rate of extension over the final inches of travel eliminating stress to the hood.
