Features

  • Reign in how fast rear hatch drops with the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist
  • Custom designed to work in tandem with your factory tailgate hardware
  • Keeps your tailgate from slamming down on your bumper and fingers
  • Built tough to withstand constant use and punishing abuse
  • Installs in minutes with no drilling required
  • Dee Zee backs your Tailgate Assist with a 3-year warranty

Description

Whether your pickup is fresh off the dealership lot or a little long in the tooth, its tailgate is likely suffering from an age-old problem: premature opening. You know the symptoms. Every time you pull the handle, it crashes down against your bumper, your fingers or your Weimaraner’s skull. To cure what ails your truck, install the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist and never fear a flaccid hatch again.

As simple as it is genius, the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist adds a heavy-duty shock absorber to your stock tailgate hardware. Every time you open up your tailgate, the Dee Zee Tailgate Damper is there to control how fast it drops. And, unlike those flimsy screen-door dampeners, Dee Zee uses only premium components that can withstand constant use and abuse.

You and your drill might be best friends, but you won’t have to dust it off to install the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist. It’s completely custom designed to bolt into place and play nice with your stock hardware. And, the Dee Zee Tailgate Lift Assist is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Takes a little bit of skill to install. Once its done, it really is useful when loading and unloading pickup. Make sure you put it on the side of the tailgate that can't come loose.

Awesome addition!

Reviewed by Steven I (SALT LAKE CITY, UT) Reviewed for a 2013 Dodge Ram — Dec 07, 2013 3:21 PM

I was a little worried about ordering this tailgate assist, because of some of the other reviews saying that it bound up between the tailgate and the body of the truck. But mine went on so easy, and does NOT bind. Tailgate closes just like it did before. If you follow the instructions, and their easy to follow, it works GREAT!! Took maybe 15 minutes to put on my 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Longhorn, and it is awesome the way it lowers the gate so slowly now.

Better than having a third arm. Unlatch the gate and let her drop.

tailgates can get pretty heavy at times,but with the tailgate assist it's really an easy lift. I't really comes in handy when you have something in your hands and don't want to just let the gate drop,it goes down real easy. I love it!! THANKYOU!!

Is there a way to adjust the tension on the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist? It would be perfect if it opened a little slower. Thanks

Supercrew Installation

The item says fits all F150 models, however after I received it I found out that DeeZee does not have one compatible with my 2001 F150 Supercrew. Has anyone installed this anyway and has an alteration to make it work?

One or two?

I see these sell as single pieces. Is one enough, or do you need two (one for each side of the tailcate)?
