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.
Went in fast and Works awsome. Avoids the slam of the tailgate. I hate how the talegate slams down. All cured now and I don't even have to hold on.
Purchased the tailgate assist for my F150 installed in about 10 minutes, I was so impressed I ordered one the next day for my brother for his birthday.
Never let that heavy tailgate drop again. Great product.
Works as promised. No more thudding tailgate drops.
There should be standard on all pick ups. These are awesome. Really help with the tailgate banging as it drops and supported.

I use my tailgate daily. The assist Still works like the day I installed it on my tailgate. Several people that have seen how it works ordered one for their tailgates.
Easy to install and works like it shoul d.
Easy installation. Really like that I can just open the tailgate and let it go as it lowers without slamming down. Perfect!
Installed in 10 minutes max. However, it is an assist only. You cannot just let the tailgate go. I was looking for something a little beefier. It would probably help to have one on each side, but the instructions specifically say to install it on the drivers side.

The product is standing up very good even after one year.
Very good needed this years ago thank y ou
One year in and our tailgate assist is working flawlessly. It was easy to install. Just as the installation video indicated. My FAVORITE thing about ordering from Etrailer.com is are your fantastic and detailed installation and overview videos. We are very happy with this product and would order again. For us, it has worked perfectly in the year we have used it.
Excellent product, and only took about 15 minutes to install.The tailgate opens now without slamming open. Fits my 2017 Ford F150 like it were a factory product.

Still working great after about a year.I would buy it again.
Great product,so easy to install even I had no problem. The tailgate lowers with ease and my wife has no problem using one hand to open and lower the gate. A quality product, easy to install, looks great and reduces the chance of a dropped tailgate.

Yes its been a year since installing the tailgate assist and it works fine , I can let the tailgate go and it handles the weight just fine. Love it!
ALL THE PRODUCTS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM ETRAILER I WOULD GIVE YOU A 5 STAR RATING. YOUR VIDEO'S OF THE PRODUCTS REALLY HELP MAKE THE SALES. YOUR TEAM GOES THAT EXTRA STEP TO DEMONSTRATE AND SHOW THE PRODUCT. I WORKED FOR PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY FOR 25 YEARS. I SENT EACH OF MY CLIENTS A BIRTHDAY CARD-THE OTHER AGENTS DID NOT SEND THEIR CLIENTS A CARD. I HAD MORE SALES THAN THEY DID. YOUR COMPANY BEATS OUT THE COMPETION BECAUSE YOU TAKE THE TIME TO DO THAT EXTRA STEP. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

One year latter and the tailgate still comes down slow. Still works as good as it did when I istalled it a Year ago.
The product arrived when it was promised. It was very easy to install. It took me 25 minutes from the time I began to open the package to the time the install was complete. And that includes being interrupted by 2 phone calls! It works great. Another great experience with etrailer.com.

Love it! Works great.
Works great. I can open my tailgate now with one hand while I'm holding on to whatever it is I'm loading. Should be standard equipment on all pickups. I highly recommend it. And etrailer is the go to source for everything; great products, great service, fast shipping and helpful people should you have any questions.
One year follow up with 2014 f150 dee zee tailgate assist so i love the actually assist shock its very good well built. As far as the nutsert that crimps into tailgate hole is bending an loose i think that could of used better design when tailgate is open allway shock moves all around cause bottom mount nut sert is junk ive never put weight on opened tailgate i knew better so it bent an came loose from tailgate weight.
This Deezee Tailgate Assist is a fantastic addition to my F150. It has worked perfectly since installation. I had previously owned a few Ram trucks on which I had also installed this product. I liked them so much I purchased one for my best buddy. Great product. Easy installation process.
Works great. Took about ten minutes to install.
It was a cake walk to install the DZ43204 tail gate dampening device. After installing the bottom plate I went to work on the top plate. Didn't bother disconnecting the cable just unscrewed the bolt (M5 thorax) added the top damper plate reinserted the bolt with cable then snapped on the damper. Done! less than 15 minutes. The Mylar wasn't needed since there was plenty of clearance between the damper, gate, and truck bed. The wife will enjoy using the tailgate without manhandling it.
I don't use the tail gate very often, but so far it not failed to work very well. I have recommend it my son and to friends. Thanks to your company for a great product and to E-trailed for great service.
