Hood "Lift Kit"
 

Hey, does anyone know if they make a pneumatic cylinder kit for the S/T Series hoods so it is easier to open the hood and not have to use the prop rod? I noticed this in Four Wheeler magazine: http://www.hoodlift.com/
I know I am probably crossing a line somewhere by mentioning a JEEP related product, but I am wondering if they make such a product for Blazers/Jimmys.

:icon_razz: Oh, we'll let it slide this time.
IIRC, there was a thread about this a long time back. I'll take a look.


edit - *Sorry, I couldn't find it.*

I'm sure there was. Not too long ago if I recall. Someone had done it on a full size, I think, and had referenced a source or someone who had done it on a 1st gen. Might have been on the old gmtruckforum or s10 forum.

I recall being interested, cause I'd like to do that myself.

Something about needing to fit the strut brackets directly to the fenders.

I'll see if I can find the link - if it was on here or on s10.

Found it! http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f137/g...talled-387616/

Thanks to Blanz on s10.

The e-bay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:en

Definitely can be done and as Ken links point out, there are ones for sale.

I'm making one for my Rainier out of old rear window supports from a '96 Astro. Integrated switch and all for an underhood light.

Made my "kit" Been on it for over a year with no problems.
