I am not so sure........ a new gas filled strut will work just fine. The "a guy" prolly added the mini struts as his main hood strut was failing.

If I get anymore lift on my New main Strut, I will have to push down as the Hood closes the last couple feet to lock the Hood in place.
The New Strut has so much lift that I have to pull it down the first two feet of movement to get the Hood to start to close.
