Just received my hood struts today. The brackets were not labeled left or right. No 3M tape was included, and I thought the packaging was horrible. The way they were packaged could of been damaged very easy. I will purchase some 3M tape tomorrow and completed the install. I will let you know more after tomorrows install.

Hey bud quick question. Have you noticed your attachment bolts bending? I’m talking about the one that replaces the ground bolt on the drivers side and the one where the passenger side where it went into the threaded hole that was there? Mine look like they are pushing out from their original installed position. The washers are not flat anymore. Any cause for concern?
@Mumfy64

Yes, that connection point is holding part of the weight of the hood and having all of the grounding wires there doesn’t seem to help matters. I have kept an eye on it every time I open the hood. So far no issues.

I'm hearing there are some failures with this bolt in strut system because it only uses the one bolt and the bracket is bending out away from the hood. All I can find is guys who have installed it, but no year or so later follow-up.

Mine WAS ok for about 8 months. However, I just checked and the stamped area at the battery ground connection where the lower pin is mounted is bending out, At first glance it looks like the pin/ball is bending but it's not - it's the sheet metal. Just not designed to hold that heavy hood. I am replacing mine with the Redline Tuning struts.

@@Mumfy64 --EXACTLY. I don’t understand the whole “getting rid of the prop rod” mentality. Those gas cylinders do actually have a life span, and/or can prematurely fail. Why in the world would you not keep the prop rod with the truck? Is it really that unsightly? I can’t recall ever looking under someone’s hood and telling myself “Boy, if he’d only lose that ugly ass prop rod, this thing would be a 10/10!”

This is what I’m worried about Amazon review “ 1) Directions are pathetic, a small sheet with poorly translated incomplete documentation 2) The ball joint pockets are plastic, they barely snap in 3) each bracket is only secured by one bolt and will stretch your hood or worse, repair? $$$$ 4) The torsion on the brackets and strut arm are maxed out when the hood is open, lots of stress 5) The double sided tape does not adhere to hood, pulls away at fully open 6) the last 25% of travel upwards the struts stutter and pump like they are failing. Not smooth. 7) Now the realllllly bad design. The left strut bolt replaces your cars battery ground... ....when you open the hood you can clearly see sheering forces and bending of the strut bolt.... ....if this one bolt decides to loosen or bend enough to lift your battery ground you are doomed. Seriously this would never pass any design safety inspection. Spend another 20 bucks and get quality, don’t put your car or your life in danger. This review is for a third Gen Toyota Tacoma, maybe but unlikely the design is better for other vehicles.

Ive seen this review as well. Ive also seen plenty of other installs that haven't had this issue, but that isn't to say that the concerns aren't founded. There are risks with every modification we place on these trucks. Even from the factory they aren't perfect. I know of a couple other modders that are only running 1 of these struts and haven't had any issue. The best thing to do is to assess your risk level and decide for yourself if its worth it for you.
