Hello Justin,Redline Tuning had 392 specific hood lifts. Thank You!!!
I installed mine last summer and appreciate the hood lifts much more than anticipated.
There was a slight modification required for the install which is detailed within the link.
All in All - Very Happy with this product!

Wow! Great catch!!!Hello Justin,
Just an FYI, your gas springs are mounted upside down. They should be mounted with the smaller diameter shaft on the fender bracket. There is oil inside the gas spring that lubricates the shaft and seal on the gas spring when it is cycled. If they are mounted upside down as you have them, the oil stays at the bottom of the gas spring and it will fail as the seal will not be properly lubricated.
Correct orientation:
I kept mine. Just cause I don't really care. Lol.I installed the hood lifts this morning. It took about 10 minutes and was easy. One thing that I noticed when installing the upper pieces is if the zinc bracket is leaning towards the hood lip, they don't want to drop in. If you lean them towards the engine bay, they drop in without an issue.
How many folks have removed the original hood prop?
I left mine in situ. It's functionally invisible, and it's also one less thing to store in the garage. If the struts ever fail, it's nice to have the hood prop ready for deployment.How many folks have removed the original hood prop?
@dragoneggsApologies for not reading through all the posts. Just came across these hood struts for potential use on my JLR. I see there is two versions, one is stainless steel. What are the differences? What are the respective weights?
Thank you, Rhinebeck... just ordered them along with the CF sleeves! What a great functional mod that is US made and from a sponsor on this forum!@dragoneggs
Read each of the posts listed here... will only take you 5 mins to read.

I guess they don't mess around. Order after-hours last night and woke up to an email this morning saying it shipped! Better than Amazon?Thank you, Rhinebeck... just ordered them along with the CF sleeves! What a great functional mod that is US made and from a sponsor on this forum!
