Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT Plus for Chevy Colorado & GMC Canyon

In this review of the Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT Plus system for the 2023+ Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, the bottom line is simple: this is a bolt-in upgrade for anyone who wants to eliminate the awkward prop rod and gain one-handed, controlled hood opening. Installation uses existing factory mounting points and simple hand tools, so a home mechanic or dealer installer will appreciate the time saved. The single biggest reason to buy is the engineered, progressive gas springs that lift and hold the hood smoothly while improving engine bay appearance with an all-black finish.

Key Features

• Bolt-in System: Uses existing mounting locations so installation requires only simple hand tools and no drilling, reducing installation time and vehicle modification risk.
• QuickLIFT Plus Finish: All mounting brackets are zinc plated then black powder coated, protecting components from corrosion and keeping the engine bay looking tidy.
• Black Gas Springs: Custom e-coated gas spring bodies and black annealed rods match the aesthetic while delivering reliable lift and a factory-like appearance.
• Progressive-rate Springs: Springs are designed to slow near full extension with end-of-stroke dampening, preventing sudden slams and reducing stress on the hood.
• One-handed Operation: Start to lift the hood and the system completes the motion smoothly, holding the hood securely without a prop rod.
• Made in USA with Support: Designed and manufactured in the United States with a four-year warranty on QuickLIFT Plus components and customer support available by phone or email.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Colorado and Canyon owners who value a neat engine bay, want faster access to the engine, and prefer an OEM-style hood lift without permanent body modifications. It suits owners who perform routine maintenance themselves and who appreciate clear instructions and a system that fits precisely.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-2023+ models or anyone unwilling to follow a bolt-in installation process; a professional installer can help, but the product is not intended for vehicles outside the stated application list.
