Hydraulic Hood Supports

Anyone add these to their third gen yet? Sounds like a fun mod/project, wanted to see what the community thinks.

 

I haven't done it yet, but the red line product seems to be a popular choice. My old Dakota had hood struts and I needed them on that truck as much as the hood was up.

 

Yes, I've had mine installed for just about three years now and love them. There is a thread here about people who have installed them.

 

Yup, several threads about these so be prepared for the “use the search feature “ crowd.

 

Nice! I probably should have used the search option more thoroughly. Apologies in advance to all those who are about to school me!

 

I have the redline stainless kit. Had it since feb 2016 and they're great.

 

Love my Redlines. Only suggestion is to buy or borrow a very good pop rivet tool. Don't start with a $10.00 tool that works fine for light tin work.

 

I'd rather not have them. My previous vehicle had struts like this, and they decided to randomly fail after 6+ years. I took a a metal latch to the back of my head.

 

Love mines
