About this item

  • This tailgate assist fits 2015-current Ford F150.
  • NEW and IMPROVED – We have improved the nutsert. You no longer have the little bottle of blue thread lock to mess with. The nutsert comes with thread lock on it and ready to be installed. You do not have to worry about applying the thread lock and getting it on your fingers, clothes, or your vehicle.
  • Easy to use. The Dee Zee tailgate assist makes the use of your tailgate an ease. By simply installing this on your truck will give you the ability to release the tailgate with one hand and not have to worry about that loud bang when it comes down. The smooth controlled drop allows your children to safely lower the tailgate.
  • By adding the heavy-duty tailgate assist to your truck will ease the strain on the cables and hinge point by not free falling. You also will no longer draw attention to yourself when everyone hears the bang as your tailgate slams down.
  • Installation is a breeze NO DRILLING required and the parts are all specific to the year, make, and model truck.
  • Feel assured, we have tested the tailgate assist for the use and abuse it will receive as it assists you for years.

    Probably worth the money.
    I put this on my 2015 Ford F150. I have 2 complaints and they are rather minute. First one is the protective adhesive piece they give you to protect against any potential rubbing between the gas cylinder and the sidewall of where your tail gate closes is not very adhesive. I cleaned the area before applying it but I can see that it will probably not stay on long. That said, I really don't think it is necessary on my install as I don't see it currently close enough during the closing and opening to rub.Secondly is the noise. For some reason I thought it was going to work like the OEM one's do on the newer trucks where you don't hear anything. With mine you can easily hear the gas being purged inside the cylinder while it lets the gate down. I find it rather annoying and my hearing is not all that good in the first place.It says the finish is painted. Mine was not and looked exactly like it does on the product page. It might be coated with some finish (maybe zinc or something) but I couldn't find any info saying it was. I painted mine black before installing it (you can see in my pictures), everything except the ball surface where the gas strut attaches as I don't want any rusting issues. I used trailer ball grease on the two ball surfaces before attaching the cylinder.The instructions are exceptional. Full color, very detailed and easy to follow if you can count.It works as described although I still don't like the noise.
