Parts manual needed

Does not close normally. I do not know. maybe I installed it wrong. There were no instructions in the kit, I do not recommend it to anyone.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There are new competitors

I would not buy this again!

The tailgate lowering aid works well but is very difficult to force open and close. I have another trunk release assist system in another truck and it's not as hard to close as this one.

Pros
  • Hard surface
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, it's ok

Stops tailgate from lowering

This is my second shock absorber on various Ford trucks. I hate tailgate falls and my wife really doesn't want to bother with 50lb activities. This luggage rack guarantees a smooth and safe opening of the tailgate. So you can operate the back door when your hands are full. Installation is easy enough, but I always check YouTube before installing anything. A special feature of this strut is that it also slows down the closing of the tailgate. No more lifting and slamming. You have to be patient…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Modern

Not a bad stand but not ideal for 97 F150

No instructions included and it doesn't work well on 97 F150, I'm inclined to think it's more a question of pre-drilling the hole. It's too far forward in my tailgate to be really effective and I wasn't planning on drilling additional holes. The standing angle is only about 10° from top to bottom, ideally 35-45°. The tailgate lowers hard and fast, and has minimal slowdown at the very end of the ride. Installation wasn't difficult but instructions would have been helpful rather than relying on…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
