Anyone using the hood lift shocks? If so any comments?
Yep, I have them and they work to make it easier for me to lift the hood with a bad back. I have the 2.

I found my order flip from doing mine. I put a 30lb shock on each side. I ordered direct from liftsupportdepot.com.
I've had them installed for just about a year with no issues. They do help in raising and lowering the hood.
I used the longer ball end mount on both ends. It was extremely tight trying to get it in the hole already in the shock tower so I just drilled another hole and used it. I bought the washers from Lowe's.
Note: make sure the ends of the shock are metal. Some come with a plastic end. You can request the metal if needed.

One more question....Are you using the spring? Does it have any effect?

The springs definitely help lifting the hood over lip. I'm working on a second generation mod. I'll post pictures when it's complete.

Thanks for the help!

I had the springs and liked them as they helped my hood pop up instead of occasionally sticking, but my hood latches were popping loose, so I removed the springs. if I ever install hood pins, I'll probably reinstall the springs.
I also have the gas struts, but when my hood sticks I still have trouble opening the hood. -
Has anyone tried the newer hood supports?? I think Alpha sells them.. They replace your stock ones
