    Just need more $$$ and time!
    Hey TW, just wanted to give a quick shoutout to @SpikerEng for fantastic customer service. My Fiance and I had a miscommunication before Christmas and wound up ordering 3 sets of hood struts between us and only needed 2. I contacted Leon and he responded immediately and said to return the extra set for a full refund no issues. Awesome CS and communication.

    Additionally I want to say I have had Redline struts in the past and there is little difference as far as install but I feel the hardware included with the Spiker kit is a little beefier and the struts seem to be very high quality units. I definitely appreciate being able to open the hood substantially farther than with either the OEM prop or competitors stuts. I installed a set on my Fiances son's truck without issue, we used a scrap 2x4 to set the hood opening height and that worked perfectly. It took all of 20 minutes followed by opening and closing for another 20 just because we could. Super smooth operation and a must have if you work on your own truck. I'll be installing mine this afternoon hopefully.

    Thanks again @SpikerEng

    i'll pile on. Loved everything about the transaction, and now, 13 months later, continue to love the mod.
