Review on 🚚 Enhanced Truck Tailgate Assist by Dee Zee - DZ43300 by Dennis Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good complement; A little ingenuity makes this a very useful and inexpensive addition to my heavy truck's tailgate. Works well!

Would give it a 4.5 (if it was an option) but for the price it's a 5. My rating is based on a 2003 Dodge 2500. All the details in the description are good in the detailed instructions described. My only issue was that after the 11 minute install, the tailgate cable folded and was either 1) trying to get between the truck frame and the shock OR 2) part of the cable was sticking out when I closed the tailgate. My solution #1 is duct tape near the bottom of the shock (see video/photo) for #2 - I found all it took was a slight tug on the cable towards the gate (tighter) since itself the cable bends when the TG is lifted. I made a small hole in the TG cap and pulled through the hole just enough to keep it taut when the cable is folded. See PIC/VIDEO, it might help explain.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
