Hood shock/strut fix (The Mother thread)

I finally switched from the Mighty Lift struts awhile ago. It was bowing the hood, even with only 1 installed. Got the replacements from an Ebay seller and hood works corrctly now with no problems at all.

i've been using a vise grip for years how much? i think about $20- just open hood and grip shaft part of shock and it acts like a stop PERFECT. Use the stimulus on something else

I actually have some hydraulic lifts...
How strong are the Autozone ones? I weigh about 175 and if I grab 2 of them they can hold me up but barely. It would be nice to save money and use the ones I have but I'm concerned they're too strong and may bend my hood. Is that way too strong?
If it is then I would like to go the Autozone route, again concerned about the bent hood though. It seams that 96 and up hoods are heavier or stronger than earlier ones? I have a 98.
Thanks
