Are these kits as strong as the factory hinges?
Yes... probably stronger.
The VLS hinge is made of material that is actually made of stronger materials than the factory hinges. We have had a child actually hang from the door (much to our beta testers horror)... with no effect. We have seen video of one owner driving with the doors up, and even have seen pictures of a side impact which totalled the car down the length of the vehicle... but the VLS still worked once the door was pried open.
We can only guess on the life expectancy of the kit but they are made stronger than factory. I can only assume that they will last as long or longer than the factory hinges.
