Today my husband installed the Redline struts. He sent me a photo with the message "That was easy"
Likely his F150 will get some too now...pretty nifty!

So nice, but I kinda Hope I don’t spend enough time under the hood that this raises up on my list of priorities!

Any amount of time under the hood benefits from having these struts.

Nice work. Definitely "not for the faint of heart."
Thanks :p I felt I did good though got it done in 2 hours. Hardest part was definitely lifting it up on my own, holding it under the aluminum panel while trying to thread the nuts on one side to hold it.

A pretty busy day upgrading plus some mods to the Bronco Sport. Added the Bronco Cargo Mat(had to have it), Redline Elite Hood Struts(what a pleasure no more kickstand), installed the missing side weatherstripping on the hood, installed the UPR Catch Can(nice kit) and lastly the CFM Baffled Billet Valve Cover Breather Kit. I think I have only one more upgrade and that will be the tires probably in a few weeks. I'm leaning towards the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT's in a 245/65/17 at only 31 lbs. each.

Nice! I just ordered the side weatherstripping
for the hood. Also, order the fender insulation to fill in the area open next to the factory installed insulation on the passenger side front fender.

Damn 31lbs sounds enticing. These k02s weigh 44lbs. Just waiting to run them down

Got pissed at it when the hood latch broke! In over 2 decades of driving never had this on any other vehicle, great design.

If I'm not mistaken didn't you have to do some grinding of a weld because of a rubbing issue with the taller tires?

Here's my attempt at front fender insulation today. A word to the wise for anyone up to the task. Be careful around the fender edges and bracing. Some of them are very sharp. I put a nice slice in my left thumb today.
