As a truck owner who frequently uses the tailgate, the DZ43200 Tailgate Assist has been a game-changer. After installing it on my 2018 Ford F-150, I immediately noticed the difference in ease and safety when lowering the tailgate. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with this product: Installation: The installation process was straightforward and took about 15 minutes with basic tools. The kit includes clear instructions, and the parts are well-made, fitting perfectly onto the tailgate. No drilling was required, which was a huge plus. The only tricky part was aligning the dampener properly, but with a bit of patience, it was manageable. If you’re somewhat handy, you should have no problem installing it on your own. Functionality: The DZ43200 works exactly as advertised. It significantly slows down the tailgate as it opens, preventing it from slamming down. This is especially useful when my hands are full, and I need to open the tailgate with one hand. The operation is smooth, and the tailgate now opens at a controlled pace every time. I no longer worry about the tailgate dropping too quickly, which could be a safety hazard or cause damage over time. Durability: After using it for several months, the Tailgate Assist shows no signs of wear. The materials used seem to be of high quality, and the dampener still works as well as it did on day one. I’ve driven in various weather conditions, including rain and snow, and it has held up perfectly, with no rust or degradation in performance. Pros: • Easy installation with no drilling required. • Smooth, controlled operation of the tailgate. • Durable construction that withstands different weather conditions. • Affordable price for the value it adds to your vehicle. Cons: • Slight alignment challenge during installation, but nothing too difficult. Final Thoughts: The DZ43200 Tailgate Assist is a small investment that pays off in a big way. It enhances safety, protects your tailgate, and adds a touch of convenience that you’ll appreciate every time you use it. If you regularly use your truck’s tailgate, this product is a must-have. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable tailgate assist solution.

Installed on the wife’s truck. Nice soft open tailgate now. No need to hold the end gate as it goes down. Hit the latch and let go. Sets its self down nicely and the shock must be valved to go up easily. Package works well. Make sure you install the nut insert properly and it will work awesome for you.

First of all I’m very happy with my purchase it is working very well. There are many installations videos to help. The only problem was with the T50 tool to remove the Torx bolt on my F150. That tool was not a perfect fit and I was unable ton unscrew the bolt. I was forced to borrow a T50 socket and use a impact tool. From then I’ve got no problem at all. I should have bought that a long time ago it is working like a charm.
