Great product
One of the best things I’ve done to my truck didn’t like the tailgate slamming down. Now it goes down nice and slow came with everything needed to install took me about 15 minutes

Fitment issiue
I bought this a while ago, and I finally got around to installing it. Everything went smoothly; the directions are clear they also have a video on YouTube. The only disappointment was that the tailgate doesn't close properly. The fix was to remove the rubber bracket attached to the bed.

Very easy to install.
It works perfect. It was easy to install. The directions could have been a little more explanatory but over all it was pretty easy.

Easy to install but lasted two years.
Very easy to install and worked perfectly for 2 years.For this price ($17) I am just going to buy another one to replace it.

Works good f-the negative reviews lol
Works great for me. Idk what all these other people are complaining about? I read some bad reviews and almost didn't buy it. Only tricky part about it. It getting the plastic thing on the cable in the correct spot to keep it from binding when closing, but once you figure that out it works like it should. No complaints here!!

Garbage. do not buy this. Pay more for a better unit
lasted until 2 days after the return window closed. This was a complete POS. I had a similar shock absorber system that lasted 8 years. This one lasted a month and 2 days. It looks nice, but the cylinder was weak and continually didn't engage until the tailgate was about half way down. So eventually it snapped off the attachment point on the box. Yes, my fault for not sending it back immediately.

Works perfectly also for Ram 1500 2018,but lasted 2 weeks!
Works like a charm.Decent instructions flyer.Cable clip very tight to install.Time will tell for longevity of cylinder and parts.Cylinder worked just fine, its the bolt holding it at bottom that snapped after 2 weeks!

Works great with some proper tools to install.
Fast shipping and works great, but if you are not equipped with some proper tools and a minimum of skill level have it installed by someone knowledgeable. Would buy it again though.
