DZ43102 Tailgate Assist fits 07-18 Chevy/GMC 1500 & 07-19 HD 2500/3500

Fit perfectly, easy install and works great!

Pretty sure this went on my dads 2017 silverado 2500. I have one on my 04 ram 3500. Install was easy. Definitely keeps the tailgate from slamming down while opening. It does make it a touch "heavier" to close, but that has been a non-issue.

Directions were straight foward, all the parts fit as they should have even the insert nut. Someone mentioned you can't set it with the tool supplied well you can and I did. He must be an engineer!! It all worked out really well and the shock worked as it should have. Now we will see how long it last's. Over all very happy with my purchase.

This tailgate gas strut was a simple, straightforward install with clear instructions. Took roughly 15 minutes total. Assembly works as intended. Lowers tailgate slowly and safely. Highly recommend. Compatibility chart stated this would not fit a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 which is not accurate. Fit my truck perfectly.

Easy to install and good quality

After about 4 months of use it starts to squeak but it opens nicely and it took 20 minutes, if that, to install. You get good value out of this

I went from a 2014 Silverado to a 2009. It was lacking the slow drop function. This is easy to install, works just like a newer truck, and allows me to drop the tailgate with one hand. No way will I live without this feature!

Great for trucks that don't come OEM with an easy drop, nice little feature to have so if you have friends with an easy drop tailgate on their truck they don't forget and just let yours slam down. Install is extremely easy and can be done in well under 10min with the proper tools (5&4 mm hex/ Allen keys, and 10&13mm wrenches). For those who are having trouble installing...read the directions again, its super simple. For the price of this kit, ease of installation, and perfect fit it's hard to beat. EDIT: had this for about a year now, I use it quite a bit. still holding up well and working. No rust on any of the hardware that was supplied. One thing I have noticed is that with temperature it has a great affect on how fast your tailgate drops. it drops very slow and soft when its below freezing, but it drops and still makes a "thud" when the temps are around 90* or above. I expect to have to replace the gas shock sometime in the future, but thats to be expected with them. My back still thanks me every time I use it!

Fit my 2017 GMC Sierra perfect. 15min Install time. You do need a 13mm socket a 10mm wrench and a set of Allen keys to install. The Install is easy. I do have above average mechanics skills. Although the instructions are clear and simple to follow. If you can turn a wrench you will be ok with this. Functions just great. I have a couple kids and the tailgate can really come down fast on them. It's dangerous really. All trucks should have this from the factory in my opinion. Still getting used to the tailgate not dropping when I open it. Get one and you will not be disappointed.

Installed on December 2021 Now, in October 2025 still working but the efficiency is little lower than before

Muy bueno excelente producto, La instalación se necesita herramienta llave alen y dados con matraca Todo bien hasta el momento ✌🏽 Me gustaría saber si hay para el lado de copiloto

Instalación en 5 min Vale la pena por su precio
