Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable - 300 lbs
The Lift Assist works as described and installation was straightforward. The only tricky part was experimenting with various combinations of large and small springs to get the correct balance. Also it would be nice if shorter bolts were included for installation on angle iron rails.
This is the most simple assist to install. Used it on a folding aluminum gate and it takes NO EFFORT to drop or raise the gate. Best unit on the market and etrailer is the BEST for service (had many questions on install for a folding gate)

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!
