Hood "Lift Kit"

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.

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.

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.
