Most Popular Tailgate Assist for 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty

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.

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.

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)

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!

glad to get it,as my tailgate is HEAVY,will install this weekend.Looking forward to the easy lifting.

The EasyLift truck bed tailgate lift assist works amazingly well at reducing the effort needed to open and close the truck tailgate. I would recommend an assistant to help with reinstalling the tailgate after removing and drilling the necessary hole. Rod placement and alignment are difficult to accomplish alone. Future tailgate removal and reinstallation will also be much more difficult without assistance.

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.

Works well. I needed these because having a contractor cap with side boxes, there was no room to carry sheets of plywood between the toolboxes and top of tailgate.

After one year the locking mechanisms don't automatically lock. I have to manually push the bar to lock it . I've tried a couple of different lubricant. None worked. The spring doesn't seam strong enough. Also the tab that pushes the locking arm into the open position when closing the tailgate came off .

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...)

Easily the best addition to any truck! The form, fit and function of this produce is superb. I installed on my 2013 Silverado. The components are not close to hitting anything. Everything appears to be Zinc plated so it will withstand water for quite a while, I would like to see stainless for rust prevention but it’s not necessary. The nut-sert is a bit of a pain to get started but once it is is easy to tighten up. It takes about 3-4 seconds for the tailgate to open. For $20 and 15min install!!! Go buy this thing right now!!! You will thank yourself everytime you pop that tailgate latch! $20 bucks!!! DeeZee hit the nail on the head!

Excellent!

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.

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.

The product was very easy to install and works as described. Fast shipping and great service.

Will hold the tailgate up so I can pull my camper with my four wheeler in the back.

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.

Poor fit and finish. Product does not fit properly. Tried to return initially but too expensive for postage to return.

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.

I do not recommend this product for a Toyota Tundra 2014 to 2021. I have a 2016 Tundra and did not work. Bad customer service when trying to return the part. They didn’t answer my calls or emails. They had me send pictures multiple times of how the part fitted my tailgate. Took 2 weeks to get a response for a RA number.

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.

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.

Easy install on my 2018 Chevy Crewcab. Had to use 1 extra washer per screw to make it just right. Thank you for a good product.

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
