Tailgate Assist

Best for: Everyday usability

Heavy, non-assisted tailgates on 4x4s are a common issue, often slamming down rapidly under gravity, which creates safety hazards with common injuries to hands and wrist, causes noise, and can cause damage to the tailgate or the truck’s body. Installing a Tailgate Assist will create a slow-motion descent of the tailgate and also make it much lighter and easier to lift and close.
