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.

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?

Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable - 300 lbs
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.
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.

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!

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

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.

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.

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Dodge Trucks
Relatively easy to install. 1st timers should allow atleast 30 mins. In operation: Just pop the tailgate handle & let-go the tailgate opens nicely w/o your assistance. (note: light weight Ram gate) On Installation: the nut assembly, for the tailgate empty hole insertion, may need just a tap w/a hammer to enter the hole; I know I had to tap it. Finally, I hope the spring clips in the ball joint of the pump hold up under regular use... time will tell. Also, the clear protective mylar? If, it's the 3x5 piece of paper I found in item box; I couldn't peel it. Satisfied & thanks! Rob

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

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....

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
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

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

TrailSeal Full Bed Protection for 2007 to 2019 Chevy and GMC Pickups
After reading instructions twice we installed lower seat for tailgate to 19 1/2 in. mark. Then installed right upright seal(see pic). After checking fit we installed left seal putting it on radius. Much better fitting seal. Had to put seal(excess from upright) on tailgate near latch(zee pic) to try to fill gaps at top of tailgate. Installed on 2018 Chevy silverado. Hope pic go through.
Very disappointed, at first it worked great then the lower seal fell off and hanging within 8 months. I installed this per instructions on a brand new from the dealer truck with a tonue cover.

Sturdy and simple enough to put on my trailer without a hassle. Making it sure easier to open and close the tailgate.
One hand operation. A friend has the same trailer with 2 gorilla lifts they do the same job as one easy lift. The hardware kit is first rate. Wish I had come up with this setup Easy install, the hard part was opening my water bottle

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
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.
