I'm considering adding the hood struts to replace the rod. I've seen a couple of different brands with different mounting techniques. One was Kingsboomy and the other was Redline. Redline attaches to the top of the hood bracket and it looks like the Kingsboomy is closer to the fender. I believe I read a thread awhile back before I was even thinking about doing this and the Redline had slipped out from the hood as it used a round fitting? I know the Redline is about $25 more, is there a reason why and is it worth it? Also can you tell me if it is harder to close the hood with these in place? As it is now I need to drop the hood from about 12" to get it to latch the first time. I've tried closing it and pushing down for the final latch but I don't want to force it and dent the aluminum.
Went back and noticed the Kingsboomy are only for the Bronco, not BS. So it looks like it will be Redline unless there are any other brands I didn't see. Still interested in what you have to say about them and any issues.
