Best Chevrolet Avalanche Tailgates

Works very well. I purchased this because im getting older and i still open and close my tailgate regularly at my job. This thing is great.

glad to get it,as my tailgate is HEAVY,will install this weekend.Looking forward to the easy lifting.

This product was purchased for its safety. Many times when my wife was opening the tailgate she found that it was hard to control it as it opened. For me it was not a problem but she loves. Along with the electric lock its been a nice upgrade.

Installs easy, but I’ve still not found a way to let the tailgate to open smoothly but those summers does help the tailgate from slamming down. I actually feel like the children is harder to lift but that was my concern it was the drop. Seems like the cylinder in the tailgate in the frame there’s just not enough room for everything and I’ve tried numerous things that I just can’t get it to open smoothly and the tailgate work perfectly before I started this overall accomplished what I want I just have to talk to tell you a couple times to get it to release

Deezee Tailgate Assist Tailgate : still doing its job. Has lost a little of its zing, so I'll have to see if there's adjustment for that. Installation was easy enough and functioned just as desired (no more tailgate slamming by girlfriend while I'm holding her plants...)

Easily the best addition to any truck! The form, fit and function of this produce is superb. I installed on my 2013 Silverado. The components are not close to hitting anything. Everything appears to be Zinc plated so it will withstand water for quite a while, I would like to see stainless for rust prevention but it’s not necessary. The nut-sert is a bit of a pain to get started but once it is is easy to tighten up. It takes about 3-4 seconds for the tailgate to open. For $20 and 15min install!!! Go buy this thing right now!!! You will thank yourself everytime you pop that tailgate latch! $20 bucks!!! DeeZee hit the nail on the head!

Now I can drop the tailgate and it won’t drop like a sack of rice! Installation is easy until I cut off the washer on the cable bolt only to realize that I don’t need to cut it. Got a replacement washer from O’Reillys. Read and understand the instructions, do not rush it.

I purchased this Dee Zee lowering system and the Tailgate Easy Lift together and installed them both. I found that having both the lift and lowering helped me greatly. And the best thing is they do not interfere with each other at all. On the lowering system I could not use the top washer because it moved the nut out too far and was rubbing the tailgate, NP. On the easy life, I drilled the holes and then turned my drill bit to where the holes was angled a little to match the torque rod, which made the installation a whole bunch easier . And greased all connection areas on both products. Thanks for sell these products and making it easier for me and my tailgate. And they work great together.......2007 GMC Classic Truck

Very happy with the product and the installation process provided. Allows the tailgate to drop quickly without being too fast or bouncing. Easy step by step installation with clear pictures for clarification.

This is the best addition so far for my F250. It makes it easy to lower the tailgate and not let it drop.

The Lift Assist works as described and installation was straightforward. The only tricky part was experimenting with various combinations of large and small springs to get the correct balance. Also it would be nice if shorter bolts were included for installation on angle iron rails.

This is the most simple assist to install. Used it on a folding aluminum gate and it takes NO EFFORT to drop or raise the gate. Best unit on the market and etrailer is the BEST for service (had many questions on install for a folding gate)

Works great at slowing down my heavy Ford F250 tailgate when opening. It was actually a bit dangerous to lower the tailgate before, and definitely I needed to have both hands on it. Now I can release the latch with one hand and step back for a soft opening.

Very misleading as to which part number to order on the website. When I called to resolve the ordering issue I was not offered any help, refund or otherwise. I have had great experiences in the past with etrailer but unfortunately this was not their best. Because of this I have started shopping elsewhere and don’t plan to return as a customer.

I love the tailgate assist it was very easy to install and when your hands are full you don’t have to worry about the tailgate dropping fast.

It was very easy to install, it required no special setup or adjustments.I would recommend this part to anyone that just wants to open the tailgate and not have to deal with the weight. All you is open the gate and DeeZee dose the rest.

Relatively easy to install. 1st timers should allow atleast 30 mins. In operation: Just pop the tailgate handle & let-go the tailgate opens nicely w/o your assistance. (note: light weight Ram gate) On Installation: the nut assembly, for the tailgate empty hole insertion, may need just a tap w/a hammer to enter the hole; I know I had to tap it. Finally, I hope the spring clips in the ball joint of the pump hold up under regular use... time will tell. Also, the clear protective mylar? If, it's the 3x5 piece of paper I found in item box; I couldn't peel it. Satisfied & thanks! Rob

Does a great job! Keeps the tailgate from slamming down. I did have a small problem in cold-weather that it was making noise, but the manufacture agreed to take care of that. Any product you buy could have a problem, but what makes a good company is they stand behind their product.

2020 Ford Ranger. Tailgate damper works as described. Instructions not completely accurate or detailed, but the damper is a simple install. Tailgate uses a T50 bolt head and takes some torque to remove, but follow the instructions of removing only one at a time and replace with the provided hex head screws. The truck bed bolt (the one reused) required a T45 bit (not the T50 in the instructions). The install of the upper damper bracket again was simple but the instructions did not state where the original flat washer was to be re-installed or not. I put it on the outside of the bracket. Popped the damper on the attachment point. Done.

Works well. I needed these because having a contractor cap with side boxes, there was no room to carry sheets of plywood between the toolboxes and top of tailgate.

After one year the locking mechanisms don't automatically lock. I have to manually push the bar to lock it . I've tried a couple of different lubricant. None worked. The spring doesn't seam strong enough. Also the tab that pushes the locking arm into the open position when closing the tailgate came off .

Works well except the "donut" that fits on the driver's side post keeps falling off and the one on the passenger side almost makes it impossible to remove the tailgate.

Plastic but durable. Unless you open and close it a lot. Then the closing mechanisms break. No parts can be found and the warranty says I have to ship the whole thing back to get replaced and I have to cover all shipping.
