DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
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.
Great product very easy to install. You can install in about 30 minutes!!!! No more losing control of tailgate falling fast and out of control.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Ford F-150 Trucks
Love the tailgate sturdy and strong,the only thing that should be in the package and isn't for a 2013 F-150 Ford the passenger side bushing is not included in the kit. U have to buy it from other sources.
I love this tailgate!!! It was a snap to install. It fit perfectly without any adjustments. It is very snug around the striker bolts, does not wiggle at all!! very impressed. Thank you!!

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
It works fine. Sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't want to unlock but I finally get it. Other than that it's fine. I wish it had a place for the backup camera. I was able to drill a hole and make it work. Other than that I'm happy with it. I would buy another one.
Quite straight forward to install. Good bang for the buck if you don't need much weight loaded on the tailgate. Used with the Husky Backup Camera Relocation Kit on my 2013 F-150. Simple mod to the camera kit (cut off lower wire cover and use longer screws to attach to gate where you want it.) Camera is wide angle enough that placement isn't that critical.

TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket- A Tight Tailgate Seal
I ordered the TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket for my 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum which has a power tailgate. The install took about 15 minutes and appears that it will do a good job of sealing out dust and snow. The kit had good instructions and contained more than enough material. After installation the tailgate closed and locked with a push of the button. When installing make sure you have everything lined up the way you want as the adhesive will not let you reposition the gasket.
I used this to seal around my Ridgeline dual action tailgate. I already had installed a backflip hard folding cover. The seal works great. I now get a very small amount of water in the bed in a hard rain

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
This tailgate is the ultimate "plug and play" item. In total it took me less than 30 minutes to open the box and install it. It was so quick and easy I triple checked it fearing I messed up. Light weight yet sturdy.
This tailgate looks great and works great. The instructions are easy to follow for the installation. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the installation process. I recommend the Carlson Stromberg 4000 series tailgate.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Ford Trucks
Thank you for a GREAT product . My order was processed , shipped and delivered with precision . I have an older but reliable 1999 Ford 350 DWD Super Duty and your 5th tailgate fits like a custom made glove . The workmanship is excellent and the finish compliments the overall look of my truck.
So the tailgate instructions are lacking for starters. There’s a few dings on the tailgate where the paint is gone. Looking at the back of the truck, on the bottom where it connects, none of the spacers worked. So the top connections are snug but my bottom connections have play in them. I ordered the right one for my truck year make and model so I’m not sure what that’s about. It looks good, but I wish it fit properly and did not have chipped paint. Shipping was fast.

Extang MaxSeal Tailgate Seal - 10' Long
The seal works very well on my 2018 Silverado, with the exception of the area near the top of the tailgate, where there is just not a good way to seal it. Not the fault of Extang tape, so I sealed almost all the way to the top and I never have any issues with dirt or rain getting in. I would buy this product again.
I don't know what other pickups are like but Ford didn't do anyone any favors with all the curves in the tailgate. Have said that I followed the directions exactly and got a good seal except for the bottom corners. So I took the little bit of extra and put a piece in each corner (picture) and that pretty much took care of the gap. I have a 2019 F-150.

Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable - 300 lbs
Easy Install - Easy to lift now!! The gate was extremely heavy PJ TRAILER -U8 model gate I can now lift with one hand — very little effort THANKYOU!!
Great product, I should have bought this years ago. I installed it on a 6 1/2 x 12' trailer. I'm using 1 spring on the left and 2 springs on the right for the correct balance. I did have to get longer bolts for the round bar. The videos on site are great.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Ford Trucks
Hello, I purchased the 2015 Ford F-150 Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate and followed the directions. Everything worked correctly until I reached Step 11 - Reattach your factory tailgate cables to your new 100 Series tailgate.. The nuts are built into the tailgate. You need to either include (2) 1/2-inch nuts or state in the documentation the customer must purchase (2) 1/2-inch nuts to complete Step 11. I attached a picture showing the Ford tailgate and cable and the finished install. The install went faster than expected less than 30 minutes and looks great on my truck.
I ordered the wrong gate, but was able to make it work. I love the product, great service

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
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.

TruXedo Universal Tailgate TruxSeal - 10 ft
Seal installed easily With exception of sidewall seal on my 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. Big gap between sidewall and tailgate, Resorted to putting seal next to the taillight assembly as shown in pictures, no gaps between tailgate and seal.
worked great for about 10 opening and closings of the tail gate, then the large "bottom" piece started coming off. now a year later, the bottom piece is off and I have a dusty truck bed. yay gravel road life....

Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate
Great addition to the tailgate. It really brings out the look of your Stromberg Carlson 4000 Tailgate. I have never been one to stand on my tailgate. I always use a step ladder so this will last me a lifetime. Very happy with this purchase.
Make quick release pins thanks. A little bit to pricey by itself, maybe include it with the tailgate?

Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Chain - 200 lbs
Received the product. Thanks for the speedy shipping. I have installed the product and am very pleased with it's operation. It was very easy to install . Since it was placed on my trailer's side gate, I only had to make one small change. I drilled two mounting holes into the gate bracket and mounted it with the adjustment holes on the outside in order to keep the lift chain straight on it's sprockets. (shown in picture). I had to purchase nothing extra for the double barrel lifter and it works great. Friends are already commenting on it and getting the order info from me. More will come when the snow and ice clears.
I am very pleased with this product. I have installed this on my split tailgate and it works flawlessly. I have another trailer with the gorilla tailgate assists on both sides. I would pick the RA-27C double barrel over the gorilla springs, hands down. I have included some pics to help anyone else with a split tailgate. This is what I came up with and it works great!

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
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.

Gate King Adjustable Truck Bed Extender
It's expensive for hinges, but they work great. Have utilized them a lot. It really helps when you have a tonneau cover but still want something to hang out like pvc pipe but do not want to open the cover.
For the price I expected less slop in the action as it opens, slaps against the tailgate. However, once extended or locked it is good. Remember to also use the spacer from your original cables (2019 Silverado) you will need them on the top bolts. The retaining clips (spring steel) were not tight enough so every third or forth closing/opening the ratchet would engage on one of the support bars. Simply squeezed them both with pliers to create a firmer fit. See one of the photos submitted showing the clip.

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
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 Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Classic Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra
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
Received DeeZee in a very timely manner.Price was Great.It took me about 10-15 Minutes to install and works Great on my 2006 Chevy Silverado.Thanks etrailer for youre quick response and product was exact fit for my truck
