Redline Hood lifts

[Tape]

Has anybody installed one on their truck? I ordered a set and it should be here Friday, I don't know if the hood is heavy or I'm just getting lazy but I've had enough of holding my breath and lifting the hood up .

I like the idea, however the pop rivets concern me, I would feel much better with good old bolts and nuts.

One of the best mods on my 2010. Install was fairy easy from what I remember.

I believe they're stainless steel rivets much stronger and reliable than aluminum rivets. Yeah I like the bolts and nuts too but I think positioning is what eliminates those.

Well I got it done today, it took about 30 minutes and it's pretty simple. I guess for about $150 it's worth it to me, you popped the hood and slide latch and just a little bit of pressure from your index finger and the hood rise's.

Is there perscribed location points to mount youre brackets or are you left on youre own to figure that out?

Everything is well instructed, they give you a two page color diagram that shows you the measurements and everything.

Let me tell you it's nice but it's only nice when you need to get under the hood, the rest of the time you don't even know you have them.

I have them, no problem drilling and riveting.

Those hoods must be heavy.

There's some weight to 'em!

Be great walnut crackers...just open the hood, line a few up along the front edge, then drop it...

I was shocked the first time I pop the hood open to how heavy it was.

Does anyone make a set that doesn't have to be drilled? I'd rather not drill into anything of it's not totally neccasary. I thought I had seen a set somewhere awhile back and book marked it. But I can't find it now.

JMO Don't trust any product that tells you you don't have to drill because it will not hold up. There's a lot of weight on this hood and if it's not held on by bolts or rivets it's going to come loose.

Well I figured they'd make one using an existing bolt or bolt hole. I'd rather not drill a hole if it can be avoided.
