The product seems to be working well. Installation was a bit tricky, needed to apply the adhesive to help the screw catch. I bought on Amazon and deezee sent me replacement parts directly without any hassle when I messed up the self locking hardware. Fantastic service and a great product, too!

I have a 2006 silverado that i installed this on. It worked almost perfectly accept the one nut would scrape the tailgate. I filed it down and now its perfect. Other than that minor issue I was very impressed! The instructions were extremely clear and easy to follow. Very impressed.

10 minute install. Took longer hunting tools than the install. Fits perfectly and works as advertised. Awesome product!!!!
Don’t have to worry about telling someone to “drop the gate” then wincing .

Installs and works just like it reads and the YouTube videos that have been posted that I’ve watched, while I patiently waited for them to arrive. It took 15-20 each. Using them for a week now. Works great!!! (I did have to carefully, turn the bolt 1 1/2 to 2 more rotations JUST to make sure (like the instructions suggest if the bolt doesn’t get tight enough). I didn’t have a torque wrench, so they may be too tight, but they work great like I said. I found them on Amazon Prime. Thank you.

Just installed in about 20 minutes. Everything fit well and instructions were very clear (which was nice for a change!). I had the tailgate slammed down so many times when someone else would open it. It is very, very heavy. Now it just eases on down nice and slow.

First off, I would like to say that Dee Zee’s website says the tailgate Assist will not fit my 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Amazon on the other hand says that it will. So I decided to try it as my truck didn’t come with the factory assist. As I started to try and install the blind nut with the tool supplied with the kit it repeatedly spun as a lot of others have also commented. So I put thread locker on it and let it sit overnight. Tonight I tried to install it again and it worked perfectly. I installed the rest of the assist on my truck. I am very happy with this item so far. Just have to see how long it lasts. The DZ43102 did fit my truck without any interference. I would definitely recommend this product. The tailgate dropped very slowly each and every time .

Installed without issue, however the 5mm allen wrench is not in everybodies tool box. Works as expected, seems well made and I don’t expect any problems long term.

Great product and I got mine early for $19.00.

My installation only took a few minutes. I think the new version make it a lot easier for new ford F150s. My only complaint is for a lack of a better word it makes a swoshing noise when lowering the tail gate.
Giving it a few days to see if it stops. Purchased from Amazon on Nov 13, 2020 and received it on Nov. 14, 2020. Before mine arrived I bought one for my grandson. I purchased it on the 14th of Nov and it was received on Nov. If the noise does not solve itself, I’ll update my rating.

I installed a DeeZee on my 2013 Ram 2500 in 2014. 125,000 miles later, it was still fine. I just bought a 2020 Ram 3500 and ordered the DeeZee tailgate damper for it. The only question was where to buy one. I like it. Everytime I open someone else tailgate I realize how used to mine I am because of the loud *BANG* as I drop their tailgate.

I have to laugh at the instructions for installion. Appearantly , many non-mechanic types are installing these. Installation is easy and straight forward.

Thanks for a product that works well for many years of use.

This product fits extremely well on a 2015 ram and works just as good as the factory slow tailgate feature. This is super easy to install there’s instructions in the packet also there are support videos available super easy and very handy definitely helps when you have your hands full and you don’t want your tailgate to slam down highly recommended!!!!

AWESOME!
Installing on my second Dodge truck

GREAT product. Watch install video…written instructions suck.

Had a problem with the tailgate assist shock, revived a replacement shock and hardware in the mail under warranty in a timely manner. Very happy with the product and even happier with the customer service. These guys rock and I’ll buy more deezee products in the future because of the great service. Thanks again Jake!

Works great on 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD WT 4×4

So nice to have something that works perfectly with great instructions and photos! No pidgin English translation from chinese as we’ve come to expect. Installed on 2016 F-150. Tailgate slowly lowers hands off as promised. Where I really needed this over the last 16 years was on my 2001 F-150. The tailgate on that rig was twice as heavy as the one on my 2016.

After watching a few videos on YouTube about this product I went out and bought one for my truck. EXCELLENT is all I have to say…. WOW what a difference it makes when opening the tailgate… no more banging …… If any one is in doubt don’t be buy one you won’t be disappointed….

Bought one, for my truck love it, installed in 30 min, so bought another for my brother, he screwed up the nutsert, called deezee the said no problem sent a whole hardware pack for free. BAM! cant beat it. Great product thats why im ordering 2 more for my brothers and my new trucks.

Other than the ball that mounts on the tailgate, this product is AWESOME! Locktite didn’t keep the ball from unthreading. A quick call to customer service and they are sending a hardware kit.

Love the tailgate assist on my 2016 Ram Rebel. The nursery breaking 10 months in… Not so much. However spoke with Kayla in customer service who was extremely helpful in getting the replacement parts sent out as quickly as possible. Great service Dee Zee and Kayla will definitely purchase more Dee Zee products in the future.

Only issue with the install was the blind nut kept turning in the tailgate when trying to tighten. Simple solution was to hold the inner washer with a thin set of vise grips. Entire install took 15 minutes. Works perfect. Truck should have come from the factory with this.

I have purchased 6 of these tailgate assists. They are a godsend for my wife. She is only 5’tall and some of my trucks were to tall for her to operate the tailgates safely.
Now she can lower them without worrying about the weight dropping on her and possibly injuring her. Several of my friends watched mine operate and immediately purchased them for their trucks. A great safety product!!!! I would recommend them to everyone! Good job DeeZee!!!!!

Just installed the DeeZee Tailgate Assist on my wife’s 2010 Ford F150…Wow!! It works fantastic…she can now open the tailgate with one-hand and not worry about it at all…and was very easy to install…took me about 20 minutes…so worth it!!!

After the kids dropped my tailgate a time or two, I decided it was time to fix that. This DeeZee kits works great! You can open the tail gate one handed and let it drop. The shock lets it drop quickly, but in a controlled manner such that it “lands soft”.

I did the install in the dark with a little light from the light on the side of the house in a 2011 F-250 Super Duty.

I did struggle with the insert nut. I held the hex key still and turned the nut with a wrench as instructed, but the insert was turning as well and threaded off the bolt. I got past it by cocking the insert nut upwards with by T-handle hex key and binding the insert nut in the hole. As I turned the nut with a wrench, the insert nut then began to tighten up in the hole, straighten itself out in the hole, and seat just fine. This alone is why I give the 4 star vs 5 star. Otherwise, a 5 star product.

The provided T-50 L Key is a little short, but a box end wrench helped me get the leverage I needed. Not one of my bit kits have a T-50 in it (all went up to T-40). Advice for others is to get a T-50 bit you can put in a 1/4″ socket on a ratchet.

I will and have recommended this kit to friends. Price is very good and performance is as expected.

Once installed, I made the wife and kids all try it out because I was so happy with it.

Installed fairly quickly on 2017 Ram 3500. Less than an hour all things involved.

Instructions were fine with exception of tools needed. Instructions called for flat blade screwdriver, pliers and torque wrench that weren’t in listed tools needed. No biggie.

Had never used nutserts / blind nuts before, worked as described. It held firm when pivot post was torqued down. No issues even with elongated tailgate hole instead of round hole as read / saw earlier in some video or instructions when researching.

Used the provided lock tight on all installed – reinstalled bolts.

When removing tailgate limiter clip used old trick with regular pliers nose to hold circular clip while turning out bolt with Torx head driver to remove cable limiter. A bit easier and safer than prying with flat blade screwdriver when removing spring clips. While had apart after removing cable limiter placed flat nylon washer in limiters place to avoid rubbing and rusting after install.

Used plier pads, could use tape, for pliers teeth so not to gouge up tailgate cable and cable clip when clamping / installing.

Popped in dampener shock as in instructions. Note: A slight pull is needed on shock to line up bottom shock grip on pivot post, it’s a tight fit getting it in place. But snugly lines right up.

Tested out after completion, aligned right, no rubbing, no problems, works fine. ( There is a slight swooshing sound as shock / dampener is working, no cause for alarm. Is typical, like a screen door closer.) Took longer to read instructions and get tools together and put back than installing tailgate assist. Would recommend to a friend.
