    Nice product, minimal packaging
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017*

Edit: 12/16/2017I have trimmed a star off this item, due to one time the rod from the cylinder unscrewed from the ball mount on the lower stud. I think a bit of thread locking compound is needed.I also have had the lower assembly loose where it mounts into the tailgate. Since the last few weeks some of my co workers have been the ones opening and closing the unit repeatedly. I have not nor can I confirm this is a mfg defect.Due to its price and ease of installation. I will 100% order this again and give it another try. I do love the product and it really is a pleaser to use my tailgate with it. I hated the slamming.Original:Nice product, minimal packaging.The instructions we clear and easy to follow. Works exactly as intended, with no issues to report. Just make sure you follow the directions and you will have a good product. Install only took a few minutes. It actually took about 15-20 in my case. I used this as a learning experience to give my son some experience with installing things like this. I will buy this for any other trucks I have in the future.Note:A factory cable movement limiter has to be removed which could cause damage to the unit if you fail to remove it. The plastic piece that goes on the tailgate cable is really hard to put on, grab a good set of pliers for this task.

    Perfect Fit
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017*

Works great, I installed in only about an hour with simple tools.  Just be careful when installing the the self tight screw, if you over tight it it becomes useless and I can imagine is a pain in the neck to find another one.  The instructions are very good and easy to follow.  The hardest part is too take the original cable from the door itself, once that's done, you are ready for the last step.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Functions Great with Relatively Easy Install!!!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017*

My son and I installed this yesterday. It took about 30 minutes due to it being a teaching point for my 16 year old son. I would suggest that you sit down and read the instructions carefully before trying to install it. Read it a few times if you have to. It is not difficult but take your time. The gas strut is a little loud but it works like it is intended. It is a beautiful thing when you open your gate, let it go, and see it land nice and smooth! It's a beautiful thing! Don't be afraid to buy and install. You'll like it!
