Let me know how it goes installing it. The only part I don’t like is bore out the holes under the hood. I’ll get it if I don’t have to do that part!

How do these get installed?

My brother just bought a nissan frontier sv. Plain Jane. Came with hood struts.

I put them on my '23 Colorado Z71. Took about 10 minutes per side and I love them. The only slight drawback was the hood did not open quite as far as the stock option with the prop, but I'll still put them on this truck so I don't have to deal with that prop. I did not remove the prop just in case the struts ever failed.

Looks pretty cool to me. Ordered a set. Hate prop rods

Smart.

Smart.

Smart would be just using the prop rod…

Hmmm. When I saw this Forum post Last night I checked the RC site and the struts were 49.95. When I went on today to order they jumped to 89.95

I was about to order mine through real truck and randomly decided to search Google and found them on RC for $49. Glad I ordered them when I did.

The prop rod would not work with the struts installed because the hood does not raise high enough to use the proper rod.

I just got done installing mine. Their directions suck. You’ll need an m12 socket for the bolts and a m5 Allen wrench. One thing they don’t tell you, you can’t have the prop rod in when you put the struts on. The struts won’t allow you to lift the hood enough to remove the oem prop. You can rest the hood on the outside of the hole where the prop sits in the hood. You have to use a little force but it will pull out once you connect the struts.

The photo was taken just before I realized I couldn’t get the prop out. Haha
