Posted in Overview Videos
What It Fixes
A RAM 1500 tailgate that drops hard is annoying and potentially dangerous. The Dee Zee tailgate assist adds a gas-charged shock to the driver's side that slows and controls the drop. The tailgate still opens fully, still latches normally - it just glides down instead of slamming. The difference is immediate and obvious.
Dee Zee Tailgate Assist Install Explained
Driver's side only, no drilling. Pull the tail light to access the mounting cavity - most involved part of the install. T-25 Torx bit and a pry tool for the rivets. About 30 minutes. Dee Zee includes a photo-illustrated install guide that makes the process clear.
