Default Hood Pins?

Anyone ever install Hood Pins on their Ram???

My hood shakes WAYYYYYYY too much at high speeds (70+) and I love they way they look.

Anyone know of any company that would offer a set that would fit??

IMO, hood pins are for vehicles who need them to hold the hood on. If your hood is shaking then it needs adjusting. Sorry, I'm not a fan of hood pins or anything else that clutters up the lines of a vehicle.

Agreed. Hood pins don't look right on trucks. Perhaps if we were talking about an old muscle car....

DUDE I PM'd you with questions about your truck. PM me back. And you need to adjust the twisty ***** on your upper cross member under the hood, if you raise them it will put pressure on the hood once it is locked making it not shake as much. But Pm me when you get a chance. I got some questions for you about some of your suspension components.

As said, leave the pins to imports and muscles and adjust the hood.
