Right. How do you hide side steps from you wife? Little stuff no problem.Ugh, I am going to have a bunch of parts sitting in my garage waiting on my Bronco...
I sent an email immediately. Just figured I would share here in case someone else finds themself in the same position. At least it was step 1. Haha.I would contact them directly as their customer service is top notch! I once had an issue with my Hood Lift system for my Mustang (that was my fault) and they took care of it immediately.
100% closed. Every time. Not sure what you mean, but I've got these and the hood closes easily.How well does the hood close with the struts?
I was wondering since the hood (without struts) seems to need to close from a bit of height so I was wondering if it had enough momentum to close and latch with the struts. I figured it would be fine but was just curious.100% closed. Every time. Not sure what you mean, but I've got these and the hood closes easily.
The simple answer is because of the angle of the dangle the struts resistance is less, the closer to the down position the hood gets. When I designed the hood shocks for the early bronco I designed them to push down on the hood for the last couple of inches because of the above concerns.I was wondering since the hood (without struts) seems to need to close from a bit of height so I was wondering if it had enough momentum to close and latch with the struts.

once the hood is fully open it does not take much to hold it open but as you are pulling it down it will get harder through the center and get easier as it gets close to the end . Or that is the way it should work.I think I'm going with the Redline hood struts. I looked at MRT and while they look like they might be thicker, even at full open they look too parallel to the hood. Just seems like a weak angle.
Good question, because I need to drop my hood from like a foot up for it to latchI was wondering since the hood (without struts) seems to need to close from a bit of height so I was wondering if it had enough momentum to close and latch with the struts.

Thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking. Apparently it's not an issue with the struts.Good question, because I need to drop my hood from like a foot up for it to latch
