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.
