New or Used hood hinges
Ok so I need new hood hinges. Im looking at either new hinges and spring or used ones. My question is should I go with good used ones if i find them or should I go with all new? If go with the used ones they might have the springs still on them, so thats a plus. If I go with the new ones I would have to install the new springs which Im really concerned about. I have no clue how. This isn't about price just quality and if I am capable of installing the springs myself.
Thoughts ??? |

Re: New or Used hood hinges
Repro's aren't known for being good (that said, after a year I haven't had any problems with mine from LMC), but you'd be much better off finding completely unused NOS ones. You'll have to pay the price, though.

Re: New or Used hood hinges
I bought used hinges with all new hardware installed including springs. Not one regret since installing them.
I even spent the extra money on powder coated ones.   http://www.hoodhingerepair.com/

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
