Anyone know the lengths needed for modern hood struts/shocks for the front ? I would assume that the lbs weight per, spec would be about the same as the rear that I got since the hoods probably weight about the same (I got 60lbs for the rear iirc). But the length is a critical detail that I’m unsure of.
Also wondering about mount placement at the front. Since my rear set have the metal ball joint, I’d like to use the same in the front .. so I was thinking that maybe the stock spring hook multi-mount tab could be utilized with just a simple ball end bolt through it, in the correct size. Anyone done that? General pics of a front set up would be helpful, thanks. Here’s my rear set up: Attached thumbnail(s)
