Pictures in instructions pretty dark. Hardest part was installing blind nut Review: Amazing service - Super easy to install and the product works great. More importantly the customer service is wonderful. My strut broke 4 months after I purchased it, through no fault of its own, and I planned on purchasing another kit. I noticed the warranty said 1 year so I thought I’ll reach out and see. I sent 1 email with my order invoice, and a picture of the broken shock. They never asked what happened just for my shipping info and promptly sent me a whole kit, not just the broke strut. ## Features - Easy on Your Hands: Even hands free, Orion Motor Tech's tailgate assist safely and smoothly controls the drop rate of your pickup’s tailgate, making it safer and easier to use - Gentle Tailgate Control: Say goodbye to strain and shock from free-fall tailgates!

Pictures in instructions pretty dark. Hardest part was installing blind nut ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing service *by W***K on August 6, 2026* Super easy to install and the product works great. More importantly the customer service is wonderful. My strut broke 4 months after I purchased it, through no fault of its own, and I planned on purchasing another kit.

They never asked what happened just for my shipping info and promptly sent me a whole kit, not just the broke strut. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install. May need minor adjustment. *by E***D on June 28, 2026* This was an easy install. It’s a great addition to my truck. A sensible extra that addresses safety and wear and tear on the tail gate. Instruction were good. Parts were ok. I did need to adjust the bored opening on the lower mounting plate. Five extra minutes to set up a drill and clamp a backer board to the tailgate to turn that round hole into an oval. I wouldn’t even take a star off for that because the product works well and you’ll be satisfied when you’re done. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orion Motor Tech Heavy Duty Pickup Tailgate Assist, Truck Tailgate Lift Assist Kit Compatible with 07-18 Chevy Silverado GMC Sierra 1500 & 07-19 HD 2500 3500, Truck Tailgate Shock Absorber, Black - 2 Packs AC Dash Button Repair Kit -Compatible with Chevy, Best for Fixing Ruined Faded A/C Control Buttons - Decal Replacement Fits Select 07-14 GM Vehicles - Car SUV Van Truck Accessories - LIGHSTA 12PCS Super Bright White LED Interior Light Kit Package for Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 + Cargo Lights + License Plate Lights and Install Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/343089104-omt-tailgate-assist-shock-compatible-with-07-19-silverado-sierra](https://www.desertcart.is/products/343089104-omt-tailgate-assist-shock-compatible-with-07-19-silverado-sierra) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
