    Does the one strut lift the hood with no problem? I mean without you having to push it up?

    Guys I'm looking into these hood struts but by the sounds of it you guys had to drill to make this installation happen. I really don't want to be drilling into my brand new truck especially the hood near the corner where it can start rusting lol. Has anyone came up with an alternative. Seems to me like every one is running these redlines but to me it's not worth the money if I have to drill a brand new truck . I prefer drill free installations. I'm already freaking because I have to drill a hole for a 0 gauge wire to run from battery to cab so I got a really good grommet.

    There is no alternative. One must drill, or live without.

    Honestly, once you drill the holes, you can touch up the spot with some paint.

    lower down creates a problem with the strut angle. The key to hood struts is leverage on the hood, and lower down has less leverage
