    If I measure back 8-1/4" for the lower bracket. It lands right in the middle of filler on the fender. Not comfortable drilling in that spot and bracket won't sit flush to the fender. How do you get around this? Move lower bracket forward, or move both the upper and lower brackets forward?

    I trimmed the filler a little bit too. It still sit out s little bit from the inner fender. I just made sure it was straight and drilled the holes and it worked out fine.

    I started to install mine on Sunday and I ran into the same issue. The bracket didn't seem to sit flush over the raised filler material. I decided to wait and check in the thread to see is anyone else had run into the problem. I suppose one could just install the bracket over the fill and that the self tapping bolts would be able to hold the bracket even if it does not sit flush.

    You were the first to post and you also posted the clearest pictures of how the install should look. I find your pictures to be more clear than the ones that came with the installation instructions. Thanks!

    Had this saturday off so thought i'd go install my redlines. I got the basic. Kinda wish i took the time to paint my brackets. Oh well.

    followed instructions. all together it took me about 2 hrs. only because i was procrastinating about drilling into my truck. haha.


    Here are the hood brackets. attached with the supplied rivets.

    IMG_0887_ab14a18c248c026aa9aefbc5425488dd615b10fc.jpg

    Below are the lower brackets. the right side i had no problem with. but for some reason the left side was a pain. if you look closes at the 2 pics below, my left one is i guess too much to the left. it was hard to get my rachet on the bolts.

    IMG_0885_23182247fd162cfac7cf0b9fa4a12f4f74920614.jpg


    All in all even with my brackets (i'm pretty sure are off by a few mm) they work great.

    IMG_0881_ad6b9b9de65eba71f7c7b48ff9f178e6eb8d9bad.jpg

    I don't know about anyone else but i twisted my struts so that the REDline sticker shows out.
    I was not aware that the struts just snap into place. I tought they would be secured with something but i guess not.

    Also don't know about the rest of you guys but in the instructions it says to cycle the struts before install. I had a hell of a time trying to compress them as shown in the instructions. So i just installed them without doing that, and once both were attached, i just shut my hood about 10 times to cycle it that way.

    I measured it and it takes 12inches of lift before it starts to rise all the way automatically.
    I just kept opening and close my hood.....just so much fun. lol :D
