Excellent at what it does
Effective and affordable for what it does, which is providing lift assist for the tailgate and a slow close so the tailgate does not slam down. Probably about 50% easier to lift the tailgate of my F-150 Lightning and you can let go of the tailgate and it will slowly lower. Took about 45 minutes to install. If you have the Pro Workspace on the tailgate with the dual bottle openers... on each side of the tailgate, you'll have to remove one to install this. If you don't remove one bottle opener, it'll hit the side of the lift and prevent the tailgate from closing.

Very effective at slowing tailgate drop
Excellent product and less than 10 minutes to install. Works great on my F-150. Would definitely recommend and especially if you have smaller kids.

Game Changer.
I bought this because My wife was always complaining it was too loud when I opened the tailgate. She has been so happy with it and it was really easy to install. Good quality shock. It's just enough for a soft-open but does not take excessive force to close. Installation took 5 minutes.

Works great
Worked, price is good and installation was fairly easy. Came with everything you need, you might need an extra tool to get it done but so far it works and dont regret purchasing for my 2020 f150
