Has anyone put different gas struts on their Porterbuilt hinges??

One of the problems I have with my truck is EVERYONE walks up to it and tries to "open the hood all the way". The gas struts that PB sells with these hood hinges only open the hood about half the way the original hood opens. This drives me nutz and every single person that looks at my truck comments on it.

Has anyone installed different struts on it, or struts that would mount on the side of the hood? I need to figure out something different.

This is the only pic I have at the moment of how low the hood is when its fully open.
