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

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.

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.

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...)
Works awesome it's a great product

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.

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.

This was the second tailgate assist I have installed on a Dodge Ram. The first on an 07. The only problem I had was getting the tabs out. Other wise it was simple to install. The feature about this model that I liked is that you don’t see it.
As usual, parts showed up as expected, when expected with the right amount of updates from etrailer. I have done quite a few updates on vehicles over the years and not many of them go as others say. However, I was able to install this one in 5 minutes with no issues on my 2019 Ram 1500. The preload on the shock is perfect, lowers at the right speed and get plenty of assist raising the tailgate. Only thing I recommend is a 90 degree trim tool to pull the plastic push pins out. Very satisfied with this purchase, just dont know why these aren't standard equipment from OEMs.

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
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
