Tailgate Lifting and Lowering Assist for a 1996 Dodge Ram
Updated 10/07/2013 | Published 10/05/2013
Question:
What prevents the tailgate assist from being used on the earlier model Dodge Ram trucks? I have a 1996 Ram 1500 and it would be great if this can be installed.

The Tailgate EasyLift, # 74211, will fit your 1996 Dodge Ram. It is designed to make lifting and lowering the tailgate easier. It essentially removes most of the weight of the tailgate making it easier to move. I have included a link to a video review of this item for you.
DeeZee has not made and tested a fit for their Tailgate Assist on a 1996 Dodge Ram which is why that vehicle is not listed as a fit.
