When it comes to something I’ll be heavily dependent on in a nasty situation I much prefer simple, mechanical, proven. I’m sure the air jack is tough but I’ll be damned if I’m crawling under a 5000lb death trap being supported by a party balloon on sharp rocks.. they seem cool tho.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Unmount spare, muscle if off tailgate, roll to front of vehicle, lay on its side (for safety, trust me on this one), close hood, reverse steps. Sure it adds 10 minutes and a couple of tools to simply top off your washer fluid but struts are like super cool 😎
I got the same ones. At 5’ 10” I grab the latch on the hood to pull it down. I suspect this would be achievable down to about 5’ 6” before tippy toes get involved 😅
