Yeah you have to get the stronger hood struts. Still have to get them for mine. My hood is steel too, heavy as shi*t!

I have a metal cowl induction hood on my 02 and the struts for them work like a stock aluminum hood. We had some confusion when my parts store ordered them. I guess I got a good counterman.

If you send Reflexxions a email asking them what struts work for their steel hoods I am betting they will supply you with a part number. They supplied the struts that came with my steel hood and work great.

I was reading something over on lightningrodder.com about a strongarm series strut that apparently seems to be a good one
