Question:
I’d like a tail gate assist shock for my 2001 F150 style side 4x4 pickup truck. The bed is curved n the tail gate is narrow. So Is there a kit that’ll work. Thanks Robert

Hi Robert; is your 2001 Ford F-150 a SuperCrew Cab? As long as it is not the SuperCrew Cab model you can use the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks # DZ43203. This will fit a styleside F-150, just not a stepside or flareside model.

The tailgate assist was easy to install & works great on my 2015 Superduty. I just wish I had installed this years ago since my tailgate has the retractable step and is heavier than the tailgate without.
