DeeZee's Tailgate Assist makes it much easier and safer to lower your heavy tailgate. It helps to prevent injuries and makes opening your tailgate easier on your back, arms, and shoulders.

Installing a Tailgate Assist takes just a few minutes using the included hardware, and you don't have to drill into your truck bed. Only one Tailgate Assist kit is necessary for your tailgate.

There should be standard on all pick ups. These are awesome. Really help with the tailgate banging as it drops and supported.
David - 04/28/2022Easy installation. Really like that I can just open the tailgate and let it go as it lowers without slamming down. Perfect!
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.
JJ - 11/10/2020Installation was easy and it operates properly
However delivery was very slow
John - 05/16/2022Works 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.
Excellent customer service from Alex. Excellent product, start to finish 15 minutes. I recommend this product to everyone. I viewed a u-tube video prior to installing just to verify that I understood the directions just for my habit.
Great product and easy to install
Scott - 04/22/2022ALL 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.
BILLY B - 11/13/2020Easy to install and works great. The L shaped tool they give you to get the bolt out which the cable hooks to is not much count. But l had one the same size that I put on a rachit and got the bolt out.
Clyde S - 10/30/2021Not as good as I thought thank you
Jenny N - 03/03/2022This was awesome… definitely a needed accessory and has functioned great.
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.
Perfect solution for the tailgate. Easy to install and does the job! I appreciate this company having solutions to several truck and trailer problems I have had over the years! Great Source!!
No comments on functionality of item at this since it will be a Christmas gift. But did receive the package in good time and in good shape.
Great addition to our truck. Opens gently without having to hold the tailgate.
Easy to install and really makes the tailgate safer to open.
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.
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.
victor p - 02/07/2021The 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.
George B - 10/02/2017Works great. So much easier to just pull the handle and let the tailgate unfold by itself.
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.
Joseph - 06/03/2019Bought this for my wife's new F150 Great product easy to install works as it should, allows you to just let the tailgate fall does not restrict the tailgate from closing and I had no issues with it rubbing on any painted surface.
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.
Install was quick and easy .still functional after 1yr.the tailgate does open a little faster than from original installation.
