I was looking more into the mounting and IMO the Tein product is well made not a 100% sure if mounting at the hinge level is the best... when I did my own DIY hood struts I checked several struts and mounting locations and to me the hinge level is to low. Also the parts I used was $50. But I will say if you don't want to DIY and got the cash I would buy these and worst case mod these if need be...

Those look like they are in the same position as mine. I used Mighty Lift shocks from Auto Zone and made my own brackets for the top.

Now that there are so many kits available mine are no longer as unique as they were 2 1/2 years ago.

thats kinda what i did i found close up pics of the tein and used there same method, just made my own brackets and struts for a bronco 2 for the rear window glass from Advance auto, there not to strong to bent the hood when you shut it but stong enough to keep it from falling down too, the struts are called "stongarms" and the p/n is 4423 if that helps
