Hi Moe, I'm pleased to assist you. The change from an aluminum hood to a steel hood can indeed affect the performance of the hood lift support due to the difference in weight. It's possible that the current lift support is not designed to handle the increased weight of the steel hood. To address this, you may consider upgrading to stronger lift support that is specifically designed for the weight of a steel hood. I suggest calling our parts specialists at 1-866-529-0412 to provide the vehicle information so we can help you look for the right part. Have a nice day.
