Default hood spacers/standoffs

Hi guys/gals

I'm looking into getting hood spacers/standoffs for my 1998 Cherokee Sport, anyone can show me if they have any one their Cherokee? If you have, what size have you fitted?

Many thanks guys and look forward to hearing from you.

Joey

(PS. If anyone wants to know out come if my "engine issues" I have cured it all with a new low miles engine, LOL)

I just put in an order for them yesterday. I'll be using them until I can find a good set of hood vents. I'll shoot you a picture when I get them installed.

I put a 3/4 inch nut on each side to lift the rear of my hood up. It seems to help. Any more than 3/4 of an inch would require longer bolts.
