So I've seen a few trucks on here that look to have spacers holding up the rear portion of the hood. I kinda like the look of it. How's it done and does it serve a purpose besides looks?

 

Its just longer bolts and spacers between the hood and hinge. Some say it brings the engine temps down a little.

 

I did it last summer in order to clear my air filter. I've since removed the plastic spacers I'd used with a flat washer so it's only raised up about 1/4" above stock.

Washers and longer bolts.
A purpose, its suppose to help in cooling the engine bay on vehicles that have heat problems but on these trucks its mainly for looks, even though it looks ridiculous.

 

^^ "like"

 

Thanks for the info. Not sure if I'll do it to my truck or not. It would only be a "looks" thing for sure. Thank god I have no over heating problems.
