Hood struts

Hi,

Anyone tried putting a hood lift strut into the 93–2007 E-Series?

Hood struts of the pressurized type would limit hood travel to their installed length. Current hinges allow for more travel which I myself find useful many times. Additionally its another system or part that would need repaired or replaced whereas that's not the case now.
