To protect my head for getting bonked again, I got the new supports installed today.
Had to use a squeegee to keep the hood propped open, they were that bad.:gr_grin:

The "hood" Parts I got were made by AVM industries,(Rhino Pac) USA made and are the Same Part number 4366 as Strong Arm Lift Supports.
Monroe Part # is 901513 and Mopar # is 55360411AC

My small screwdriver was too large to pry the metal clamps up, so I resorted to use the Jeep Knife, and it worked like a charm! :gr_grin:

With the new ones in place, You almost have to sit on the hood to try to close it!:happy175:
If it was not for the hood catch when you pop the hood, it would now fly open all on it own!:party52:

Good price. The usual price here for good ones is $40-50 each for the Monroe Max-Lift's and around $40 each for the rear. Amazon has them for $15 cheaper but $12.00 shipping.

Ps the Strong Arm 4366 costs are very good, so was the AVM's I got.

New on the green; old to the blue.

Hand me down parts; Maybe that's why it's blue.
