Review on Enhance Your Pickup Truck's Tailgate Experience with DEE ZEE DZ43204 Tailgate Assist Shock by Emilio Wallace

2019 Ford F-150 Supercrew, took 10 minutes to install. Recommendations: 1) Dip the brackets in Plasti Dip for a) aesthetics b) to keep the steel from touching the aluminum body panels (metal odds) 2) forget the T50 wrench that comes with the package, it's a free Chinese one Fit with tolerance. Save yourself some swear words and buy a T50 3/8 bit 3) You remove the bolt from the truck and it is NOT used (replaced with a low profile hex bolt). Do yourself one more favor and toss it in the glove box right now. This was compared to a real Ford part hidden in the $60 taillight. It's got great reviews, is a little easier to install (no need to remove the tailgate), and it's half the price. Only time will tell how it holds up. They didn't inspire much confidence when they provided Mylar to mount on a truck body panel "in case the part comes loose," but we'll see. Love the fact that my wife and daughter can open the back door and not worry about it slamming, preventing possible "hand dents". Yes, there is some "whistle" when opening when the shock absorber is released, but it's no louder than the usual lift gates found on minivans (previously a Toyota Sienna).
