  • Is there a Video Showing the Removal of the DeeZee Tailgate Assist
    The only video we currently have on the DeeZee tailgate assist # DZ43200 is our installation videos on the 2011 and 2013 Ford F-150. To remove it, you can simply pull the shock off of the ball joints. Unfortunately, there isn't a video showing it at this time.

  • Recommended DeeZee Tailgate Assist Tailgate-Lowering System for Ford/Chevy Truck
    Yes. If you have a 2005 Ford F150, the tailgate assist that would work for you is the DeeZee Tailgate Assist, part # DZ43200. This tailgate assist will not fit on Stepside or Flareside models. I have included a video review of this tailgate assist that you can check out. If you have a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado,you will want part # DZ43100 . This tailgate assist has an easy no-drill installation, and has a smooth operation with the built-in shock absorber.

  • 2021 Nissan Frontier Tail Gate Lift Assist
    No, The DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 is not confirmed to fit your 2021 Nissan Frontier. We have no custom lift assists for your vehicle. We do have a universal Hopkins Lift Assist # 74211, but it is not confirmed to fit a 2021 Nissan Frontier. I spoke with Hopkins and they as well could not confirm it to fit a 2021 Nissan Frontier. They did state though that for it to work the tailgate must be removable and be at least 62 inches wide and 19 inches tall. I attached a review video...

  • Replacement Ball Mount for DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200
    To replace the ball mount bracket portion of the DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 you can use part # BKT43200, which infludes the torx wrench, nutsert tool, and plate. The ball mount is not available by itself. I'm not quite sure why this piece is braking on your setup. I recommend making sure that the ball mount is properly torqued to 8 foot pounds when installing it and that you are using thread lock on the threads to help keep it in place. Also make sure that the threads on the nutsert...

  • Tailgate Assist for 1987 Ford F150
    Although DeeZee doesn't make a tailgate assist for your truck, Hopkins does. The Hopkins EasyLift, part # 74211 is a confirmed fit for your truck. I've linked to a video explaining how the lift assist works.

  • Which Model Dee Zee Tailgate Damper Is for a 2013 Dodge Ram 3500, and are Two Necessary
    The correct DeeZee Custom Tailgate Lowering System For your 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 is # DZ43301. As indicated in the included installation instructions, only one assembly is needed for your tailgate, even if it is very heavy. This assembly should be installed on the drivers side of your tailgate. The part that you referenced is a very similar product, but is specifically designed for use with Ford and Lincoln tailgates.

  • How Do You Uninstall the DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200?
    For getting the shock off of the ball joint of the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks # DZ43200, I recommend trying to remove the shock when the truck bed is not fully open. This is because there could be some extra tension on the shock when you try to remove it from the ball joint. Around a 45 degree angle should be fine to give you the slack you need. Also, you may need to use pliers to help remove the shock. Feel free to use a rag in between the...

  • Recommended Tailgate Assist For 2014 Ford F-150 Pickup Truck
    The DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System, part # DZ43200 is designed to help make it safer when lowering the tailgate on your truck. I have attached a link to an installation video for this system on a 2013 F-150 but the installation will be very similar to your 2014. You can order this system by visiting the product page on our website and just adding it to the shopping cart.

  • Operation of DeeZee Tailgate Assist System in Cold Weather
    I spoke with my contact at DeeZee regarding the use of their Tailgate Assist Systems in cold weather. He said that while they haven't officially tested the units in extreme cold, they have yet to hear any feedback from customers with regard to weather-related failure. He did also say that they sell quite a bit of these to customers in Canada and have not seen any of the shocks break down due to the cold. It's possible that the malfunction you experienced was actually unrelated to the...

  • Installing Clamp on Shock Joint for DeeZee Tailgate Assist on a 2014 Ford F-150
    Are you trying to install the clamp with the ball inside that joint already? If that is the case then it would be very difficult to install the new clamp on the Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 for your 2014 Ford F-150. Instead what you need to do is remove the joint from the ball, install the new clamp, and then pop the joint back over the ball as you can see from the linked installation video. If this doesn't work for you just let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.

  • Can the DeeZee Tailgate Assist be Used in Extreme Cold Weather
    I spoke with my contact at DeeZee and she informed me that they haven't tested the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate Assist part # DZ43200 at -40 degrees so they can't say for certain if it would work for you, but they (and us) have sold a ton of these and have yet to hear of an issue where cold weather caused a problem, so it would most likely be just fine. I attached a review video for you to check out to the right as well.

  • Recommended Tailgate Assist For A 1998 Ford F-150
    I'm not quite sure what you mean but I'm assuming since you were looking at a tailgate assist that that's what you're looking for. If that's the case then the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System # DZ43203 would be a confirmed fit as long as your 1998 Ford F-150 isn't a stepside or flareside model.

  • Which DeeZee Tailgate Assist is Recommended for 2010 Ford F-150
    For your 2010 Ford F-150 the DeeZee tailgate assist part # DZ43200 is a confirmed fit and will work well. We had the chance to install this on a similar 2011 F-150 and we found it fit and worked well. Check out the install video I attached for more info.

  • Will DeeZee Red Label Toolbox # DZ43200 Fit 2015 Ford F-350
    I checked with DeeZee and was able to confirm that the Red Label 5th Wheel Toolbox # DZ43200 you referenced is only a fit for the Ford Super Duty Trucks up through the 2010 model year so it will not work on your 2015 F-350. This is due to a slight variation with the contours inside the bed that you alluded to a bit in your question. The 60 inch length is for the box itself and does not include the slight overhang of the lid. For a similar chest style toolbox that will fit your F-350 I...

  • Tailgate Assist for 2015 Ford F-350 Recommendation
    For your 2015 Ford F-350 the tailgate assist you need is part # DZ43203. It is important that the nutsert fit snugly in the pre-drilled hole (see video). The pre-drilled hole is usually round, not oval (see image). Check out the video and see if you are looking at the correct hole (it is located near the hinge.) However, some customers have written that the hole in their tailgate is more oval and they were able to file the hole to make the nutsert fit snugly. As long as the nutsert fits...

  • Does the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Help with Lifting the Tailgate on a 2014 Ford F-150
    The DeeZee tailgate assist # DZ43200 only helps in lowering the tailgate but not lifting it. We do not have a product that will assist on lifting the tailgate on a 2014 Ford F-150.

  • Fit of DeeZee DZ43200 Tailgate Assist on 2005 Ford F150
    The # DZ43200 Tailgate Assist is a fit for 2004 - 2014 Ford F-150 models, so it will indeed fit your 2005 Ford F150, regardless of the cab/bed configuration. I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful.

  • Recommendation for a Loose Insert of a DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200
    When tightening the insert of the DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 in your tailgate it is not required that you only tighten it 9 turns. Generally that is the amount of turns that gets it tight, but if after 9 turns it is still loose you can continue to tighten it until the insert has expanded enough that it is tight.

  • Recommended Dee Zee Tailgate Lift Assist for 2002 Dodge Ram 1500
    The DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43200 is for Ford and Lincoln vehicles but we do offer the similar kit made for your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. You can use Dee Zee kit # DZ43300. This installs without any drilling and all hardware is included. Please refer to the linked video to see more on this item.

  • Removal DZ Shock from Installed Tail Gate Assist
    No special tool is needed to remove the # DZ43200 tailgate assist, you'll just need to pull in a slow steady manner and it will pop off. You can try hitting the spot where the shock meets the ball with a spray lubricant and letting it soak for a few minutes before pulling. Or, you could use a # 50 torx to remove the cable bolt which will allow the plate that the ball is attached to to come off.
