    A Nice Convenience!

    I bought a used 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty about a month ago. The truck has the tailgate step and assist bar so the tailgate is heavier than one without it. Although my wife and I, who are both in our sixties, are still capable of opening and closing the tailgate I decided a little assistance would be nice. I purchased this tail gate assist shock and I am very pleased with it. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. The installation took about an hour and was done at an easy pace. For someone who's done one before, or who was in a hurry it could be done in less than thirty minutes. I've only begun to use this item so I can't speak to its' long term durability, but its' function is great! Exactly what I wanted.

    Unhappy

    I bought this same item for my 2006 Ford and it worked extremely well. As a matter of fact it was still working 10 years later when I traded the truck in. It may have been a different dealer but the same make. When I purchased my new truck a 2016 Ford the first thing I bought for it was this same tailgate strut. It worked twice and the third time the tailgate fell down as the lower ball connection popped off. It has popped off several times since then. Now it is to the point where I have to use physical power to hold the tail gate until it is down as it may pop off at anytime.

  • Dee Zee Tailgate Assist

    My first impression was the high quality of the parts in this kit. The install is very easy and it works as advertised. If you have ever accidentally dropped your pickup's tailgate, you know it wasn't good for your truck. This a great product and well-designed. I will definitely have one on my next pickup truck!

  • Easy to install

    Easy step by step instructions, good pictures and even says tool sizes to use , I highly recommend a ratchet wrench for the insert tool , having said all that , was not impressed with the functionality, could have been stronger friction damper , almost could use 2 dampers but says it's for drivers side only .

  • Great value!

    Nice to be able to drop the gate hands free. Looks and feels like a quality product, time will tell. Very easy to install. My only wish is that the mylar came precut.

  • Good value

    Tailgate on my truck is heavy, and this helps when opening it so it does not slam down

  • WOULD BUY AGAIN FOR ANOTHER TRUCK.

    works ok by me,not as much of a catch as I thought it would be but does the job just fine !

  • Love it!

    Works just as it should. The fluid in the piston makes more noise than I was expecting, but It really is a good working upgrade.

  • I said no on quality and value because it does slow the tailgat down but not much. It still slams a bit. You need 2 to work properly.

    You need 2 to make it work properly. One still slams.
