Hey guys what would be the best Hood Latches to purchase to stop the hood from fluttering at highway speeds?

OH9JK

Daystar hood wranglers. $25.00 or so

I just fitted the "Drake hood latches" on mine and i absolutely love them... No more Hood flutter and they look sick

They are a bit pricy though

This is a wierd one I bought the Daystars because I was stock and my hood was dancing like crazy on the highway,I recently installed a 2" lift and so far my hood has not moved
Is it not supposed to be worse when lifted?

JKRINGO

I'm going need to get set of these since removing my Air Dam (whatever)this past spring my hood has been jumping like crazy.

I like the look of these but crazy expensive for what they are.

Thanks guys. Ill let you know which of the two I decide to go with. The Drakes do look sick but not sure if I wanna fork over 129. Keep ya posted.

I had the same problem with the hood and decided to do some research on this. A few mention that if you just remove the spring, it should stop the fluttering. Another fix is using zip-ties. I do not recall exactly the trick to it, but it's not something you have to snip and re-tie every time you wish to open the hood.

I'll post it if I can find the link again...
