I just installed my 25 lb hood struts today and they work great!

They're a tad bit longer then the stockers but it closes as smooth as butter now.

Bumping. I got a Trufiber WS6 hood on the way and I was wondering what strength shock I should buy from the Orrorr site. The hood is approximately 35 lbs.

if you are really that worried about using your stock hood struts and want to go weaker ....just drill holes into the OE ones.

Since my hood struts are almost 15 years old, they are weaker than stock (hell i had to replace my hatch struts since they were almost worn out) i installed an oem LT1 WS6 hood and it doesn't open the hood too fast at all. i'd think that worn oe struts are comperable to new lower psi ones.
