Review: GREAT PRODUCT - Everything you need for installation is included, minus a wrench. Instructions are very clear, and the setup process was quick and easy! It took me about 10 minutes. This product works great on my old truck. My tailgate is very rusty and dented, but this strut still works great! Very high quality and worth the money!
Review: Actually works, well worth it!! - Honestly very impressed with this kit. I never leave reviews but I have to for this. Cheap and very nicely packaged. Comes with detailed picture instructions and is very easy to install. I have a 2011 f150 with a heavy step tailgate with 0 support left in it as the brackets broken, now with this I can open the handle and let the tailgate drop with no hands and it slowly drops. Highly recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One is good, two will make it better.
*by E***D on October 1, 2025*

I ordered this for a 2014 F250. Very pleased with the price and quality. Instructions were provided and very adequate for installation. I am ordering a second one to place on the passenger side of the tailgate. The tailgate I have has a fold down step and grab bar to climb into the bed. Pickup is a crew cab with 4 wheel drive. Tailgate is very heavy. One assist mechanism works good and slows down the drop of the tailgate. I think a second one would slow it down better where my adult daughter could easily operate the tailgate.
