Helpful Expert Reply:

There is a tailgate lowering assist that is a fit for your 2005 Toyota Tundra, though not the DeeZee # DZ43205 you referenced. Instead, you need the Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist # 74211, which is a torsion bar that essentially makes your tailgate feel much lighter. Our customers who have used this have given it very high ratings as you can see on the product page.

I've added a link to a video review of this lift assist for you to check out as well.
