this isn't like a tailgate damper, where gravity is your friend, because real men don't stand there holding their hood and staring at the engine instead of doing actual work
Real men don't need gravity to help them :)

I've avoided the damper so far but the other day I had to climb in the bed an I don't have a step. I thought, man I could use the bumper to step in then lower the tailgate if I had a damper.




I'll order a step

Ordered my hood struts from Redline Tuning at about noon yesterday. But those guys actually shipped them late yesterday! Man, that is fast. Tracking says I'll have them Thursday. First thing Saturday morning with a cup of coffee here I come. :like:

Shout out about Redline for those that have not used them.

I'm shocked you're going to install them right away. :shock: I thought for sure you'd have them powder coated blue first?:rolleyes:

Received my RedLine hood struts yesterday. Now I just need some time to install them
The nice thing is that it took more time to find the two sockets than the actual install.

And this is from the guy that lost a wrench under the floor liner he installed! Now why did I even have a wrench for that!

Good luck and it really is fast and they work so nicely. =)

but...why not just do that thing without a damper? so strange.

@AzScorpion He will order the damper for tailgate if it will come in blue. I suggest to write on damper “Velocity blue edition” and he’ll get two!
Heck I'd even come out and personally instal them. ?
