That is an issue with RB hinges! I had the gas struts beefed up on mine...didn't turn out well!
The strut tabs are not very strong at all. Snapped like a twig. I added metal to my second gen hood so it's heavier than stock.
What I did was build a prop rod in the end.
Not crazy about it, but I spent big money on the hinges and I like the looks of them...
