🚚 Truck Tailgate Assist Shock Strut for 2008-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2500HD 3500HD GMC Sierra - Enhance Your Truck's Tailgate Support! Review

After installing a few of these I found that this product leaves a lot to be desired. No customer support. Big lack of quality. Directions are marginal. And the biggest disadvantage is that it doesn't work! I would not recommend this to anyone, friends or foes.

It comes with instructions for Ford but it's very easy to figure out how to install it. I have had 3 OEM Easy Open tailgate mechanisms during the warranty period of about 6 months each. This is a much better system and cheaper if you need to fix it after the warranty has expired! No more slamming rear doors stressing hinges and cables!

Love it! It was easy to install and installed in 15 minutes. Now our tailgate opens smoothly and quietly. Definitely recommended if someone is tired of slamming the tailgate and wants a more modern tailgate. Fits perfectly even with my tailgate seal, fairing and undercover. Without interfering with anything.

Once I understood what I was seeing, it was extremely simple. As a result, it falls slowly and does not bang. I'm not sure if it's worth the money, but once installed it works perfectly. *** UPDATE *** No more pops. The kids could sit there all day and open and close the back door. My elderly relatives can easily open and close the back door without worrying about getting hurt.

Easy to install and opens perfectly the first time. The second time it took forever to open. The third time it doesn't open at all. I had to remove the plunger to lower the tailgate. I can't find a way to talk to the person about the problem. I might see things differently if there was a defect contact. The blind nut is now an integral part of the truck, so returning it is out of the question.
