Yup, hood lift struts are a terrific addition to the JL... You will enjoy them!
By the way,
For the struts (any brand) to self lubricate, you install the struts the opposite way of what you have them. Installed as you have them, they will not self lubricate and that is not good..
Also, it does not appear that your installed hood lift offering, has quick release disconnects on the struts. 8-(
You might want to consider adding quick release disconnects.. No quick release disconnects means you or your mechanic will have to pry off the strut connectors each time you want to flip back the hood so you can get in there and work. After a few pries off, the connectors usually become unusable/ broken.
You can buy top notch, quality, quick release disconnects that will probably work with your struts. Go here:
