Expert Reply:
The Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist item # 74211 is compatible with your 1988 Ford F-150 so long as it is NOT the step-side bed model.
The bar installs between the truck bed and the tailgate, allowing it to work with truck toppers, tonneau covers, and even spray-on and plastic bed liners. You will be able to lift your tailgate with ease because the torsion bar makes your 30- or 40-lb tailgate feel like it weighs just 4 to 7 lbs.
