Placing struts post-launch? Is there a mod that will allow this maybe?

[Franklin]

So I'm working on a small station but lo and behold, once it's reached a certain size it's become unstable. I took it into consideration with my individual modules, but the docking ports just aren't enough to keep it from buckling under any real movement beyond RCS/SAS adjustments. And even then it can be janky.

Is there a mod that'll allow me to go up there and place struts to stabilize things? I know KAS allows you to place parts post-VAB, and I've gone so far as to edit in the EAS-4s to be 'placeable' under the mod, but when I place the first end, it doesn't follow up with allowing me to place the second end. I figured it wouldn't be as easy as that, sadly.

So any recommendations?

KAS features strut connectors which you can place on the vehicles, and then link to eachother.

Perhaps I haven't played around with KAS enough then, hm. Would you know of any good video tutorials on that part of KAS specifically? There are plenty of guides for the mod as a whole, but it's a broad mod with lots of 'things'.

There's: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/quantum-strut/

and: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/48086-0-21-1-Docking-Strut-1-0-1-0

I know they were both good to go for 0.21, and worked well for me....Not sure if they work with 0.22, though, or if they can be added to the techtree or not...???

Its rather simple to use the KAS struts. There are 'Strut Ends' that can be surface attached in VAB/SHP, or grabed and placed via a Kerbal on EVA. One there are 2 strut ends you get close to one with your EVA kerbal, r-click the strut end, select 'link'. Head over to the other strut end, r-click, select link...and BAM, your all done.

Thanks for the response guys, KAS' struts did the trick perfectly. Problem solved.
