Easy install there’s a QR code to watch a video works great on my tailgate

I found this and I knew I needed it. Our 2014 Ford raptor has a heavy tailgate that is out of control. It can hurt you or scare you like it’s done to me. I received mine yesterday. I installed it and when I opened the tailgate it rubbed the tail light. I was concerned because it could possibly crack it and cost a bunch to replace. If you are handy enough to install the strut. Try this. Take off the tail light. (2 screws and a tab) put some 2 sided tape ( I used the thick rubbery kind) on screw holes with a thick washer then replace the tail light. No more rub. I like this tailgate upgrade a-lot. No more bouncy heavy tailgate.

The media could not be loaded. Installed in my 2014 F150 and install was easy. Total install time was about 5 min. The shock is the right amount of tension. Tailgate goes down not too fast or not too slow. Definitely worth $20. Been on the truck for a few days, time will tell how long it last. I’d recommend using your own T50 on a ratchet because the tool it comes with doesn’t allow for much leverage when trying to unscrew the factory mount.

Works great on my truck easy to install

***My review is still true, but the seller contacted and replaced quickly.****First step is to install the component in the tailgate. It comes with what looks like a nifty little makeshift bearing to make sure it works properly. It doesn’t. I ended up using vice grips to hold the anchor in place while I got it set - way more effort that it appears to be by the video and instructions. The rest went smoothly until I was snapping the gas spring in place. The spring clip broke! Now it’s just a matter of time that it slips off and the tail gate drops if I can’t figure out a way to secure it.

Bought it because it was cheap and had 4+ stars. It worked pretty well for about a week. Then it broke and now I’m looking for a more sturdy option. Don’t waste your money on this. There’s nothing heavy duty about it.

Fit my 2013 ford f150. Great upgrade. Easy install. Quick install. Overalll great kit. Lets see how long the hardware hold up against heavy gate.

For price great addition to functionality of tail gate, easy to install, just make sure use right tools
