Hi Tony,
I have a reflexxion hood, so to keep the back of the hood from buckling, it can only open to the where the latch bar would insert into the first (upper) set of holes in the underside of the hood. Can these struts be installed to keep the hood from opening higher?
Thanks!

Tony, quick question. Installed my struts, but unfortunately and totally to my error I assumed the spots on the fenders where the lower mounts go were equal on my 91. I was wrong and the drivers side had a longer overlap, so when I closed my hood the first time I bent those two brackets. Can new brackets be ordered individually? Thanks!

Thanks, Tony! Too bad, your kits look awesome.
May I ask, please, what did you do to keep the Reflexxion hood from opening too far?
What happened to the Jeep XJ it was in?
