Review on 🚚 Ranger Tailgate Assist Shock Kit for Ford Ranger 2019-2021: Pickup Truck Tailgate Damper with EZ Down Lift Strut Accessories by Trey Michaels

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to Install - Sturdy hardware, slow hands-free opening every time.

I installed it three months ago. The tailgate pillar is screwed directly to the loading area. You must pay attention to carefully install the bed screw (friction). Once that screw was in place, the rest of the setup was fluid. The OEM cable holding the bed door had to form around the tailgate support shock absorber, but after a few days it closes perfectly. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry to open the back door, I get frustrated with how long it takes to open it. But I need to remember the reason I installed this in the first place - so you don't have to hold the tailgate open when opening it. My tailgate has a built in step and post so it is very heavy. I love this update and don't think about going back to the previous one. It's worth every penny.

Pros
  • Robust surface
Cons
  • Damaged
