It works great

Easy to install. Works pretty good. The instructions are not the best but it’s easy enough to figure out. Definitely recommend if you don’t want people dropping your tailgate. For the price it’s worth it. I’ve wasted more on less.

Nice touch

Install was ok. Had issues with the bolt that goes on the tailgate. Battled it till I won. I like the way the tailgate slowly drops vs the rapid drop. Nice touch

The support you need. Update.

This is the second one that I've installed and it really makes a difference with decreasing the weight of your tailgate. The first one that I had, the ball connection on the tailgate broke off so I couldn't get the residual screw-in insert out of the hole in the tailgate. I went ahead and installed this one on the right side without issue. I did notice that on the right side of my tailgate pivot point, I can actually tilt tailgate out of the joint (from right side) and remove the entire tailgate. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to remove this shock so I'm probably stuck with NEVER removing my tailgate from the vehicle. This is OK because in the 7 years I've had the truck I've never removed it anyway.Update: 4/22So this failed a week ago and due to the holiday, I missed the return policy. It lasted about a month and broke apart under normal usage. I NEED A REPLACEMENT!!
