any of those gas shocks would work. grab some off a car that has hatch like a Ford Escort or Acura Integra for example.

early 80's Buick Lesabres had gas struts to hold the hood up....

might look into what a set for the lesabre would cost you....i have a lesabre and the hood is VERY heavy, so if they will support the weight of the buick hood, i have no doubt they could hold a ranger hood

mercury mountaineers have em also...had a set come with my mountaineer hood hinges when doing some repairs but they were seized so i have to get another set at some point

the lesabre struts are $13 a piece from autozone....$26 sounds better than $65+.......to me anyways......

ford explorer/mountainqueer(95-02) hinges will go in once u drille the spot welds out off the ranger ones.
