Added hood struts/lifts to my 2025 STX from Amazon. No flex. Very pleased. Going to get them for my son’s 2025 XLT too.

Bobbert, Can you supply an Amazon link or state which brand you bought? There are many available. Thanks

These are the ones I installed the day after I bought the truck.

I opted for a known brand versus unbranded Amazon stuff that carries artifical reviews.

Just be careful which ones you get, not all use the same mounting points and the first ones I purchased from Amazon, not only didn't lift the hood up high enough (inexpensive carbon fiber looking struts), but also tended to "pop-off" of the mounting bracket it was firmly attached to. WTF! Went with the Redline units that mackieranger also listed here and they work perfect for me as well.

I went with the originator rather than the blatant rip-off imitator.

I too installed the Techpicco struts like Chief did. I can vouch for the performance. They work well.
I especially appreciate how the hood pops to the safety latch making it very easy to release.

I am updating my opinion of the Redline Tuning. I think the hood was raised and lowered 2 times since installation and that was just to test the installation.
I went out today to install my new grill lights and after lifting the hood, I found the driver side Redline Tuning gas spring wouldn't budge and ripped the hardware off the bottom of the hood when it was raised. I took the entire driver side off and it is clear the gas spring failed as it won't move at all.
I am over the Amazon return window by 9 days.
