🚪 Dee Zee DZ43302 Tailgate Assist: Perfect Fit for 19-Current RAM 1500 (NEW Body Style) Review

The first comment. If you have 2019 RAM you will receive something different than pictured. It's good! You remove the taillight from the driver's side and you just slide this thing over two factory "nubs" - two screws to put the taillight back on and you're done. 3 minutes work.

Holy easy! The longest part of the installation was trying to figure out the plastic rivets. I broke one and then found out. The center of the plastic rivets must be carefully removed! Not my strength! Then the outer layer comes out. Took 19 minutes, on my Ram 1500 it just snaps into place! Done works great!

Different from the picture but normal. It's actually hidden behind the driver's side taillight, making the installation look like it came from the factory (shame on Dodge for not making that standard). It was an easy 5 minute job and gave the goal a much better feel. Not to mention a significant improvement in security.

Very easy installation. At first I thought some details were missing, but no. Fastening points were already installed on the truck. This should have been standard on my 2019 Ram 1500. The tailgate goes down a little quicker than I expected, but it does the job and slows down when it hits the ground.

This thing is amazing. Makes raising the tailgate very easy and lowering it smoothly and in control. For the 2019+ Rams, there are already mounting points behind the driver's taillight so you can't see it. Simply remove the tail light, attach one end, lift the tailgate and attach the other end. Install the tail light and you're done. Super easy and worth it!

Buy! If you have basic household tools, you can install this device. In less than thirty minutes, my back door slowly slid down. Works as advertised, can't tell how long the plunger will last. If I notice any changes in the system I will update here. I don't know how much the dealer will charge for this unit + installation. I installed it due to the cost of the product and my free time.

I saw this thing and I just never pulled the trigger. Finally ordered and WOW. I missed it. This is the new style for the 2019 RAM 1500. Such a simple installation, but it changes the world! Pull out the rear light, insert it into the small brackets already installed, reinstall the rear light. You open the tailgate and let go - it goes down easily and doesn't stop! Once installed, it's not even visible - it's completely hidden under the taillight. I highly recommend it.

When I received the package I thought there were parts missing. After reading the instructions, I realized that the photos in the product description do not correspond to reality. The truck is already equipped with mounting bolts. All you have to do is remove the left taillight and install the strut. The pillar is completely hidden behind the rear light. Attached is a picture from the installation guide. Probably the easiest setup ever. Works great, exceeds expectations. The only question is…

WARNING! The images shown on this product page do not represent how to install the device on newer Ram 1500 models (2019 and newer). The new Ram 1500s have a built-in mounting point inside the driver's taillight. The only thing you get from DZ is a real shock. That's all you need. The product works well but could use a little more rigidity to soften the hole a bit. However, it's still an improvement worth making. I have to say that at first I was disappointed as I received an already opened…
