Great video got mine today. Put it on a 2016 dodge ram 2500 the only thing i would add to the video is the cable area's they were a bit rusty so i added anti-seize once i got them off. On top side, and since i was there the tailgate one also. Took me about 20 mins from open to testing tailgate, also for anyone else diy that piece that goes on the cable its a pain but a must, its so the cable doesn't get pinched behind the shock when you close tailgate. At first i said screw it, and it got in a bind, 2nd time with it on works everytime!
Excellent video my friend, I should have watched yours before the DeeZee one as theirs is a few years out of date. Don't know if anyone else has come up against this but I found that when I installed the top plate totally vertically, in line with the end of the box, the cable with the plastic clip got wedged between the box and the gas shock. About to use unsavoury words I instead loosened off the top bolt and swung the plate towards the box and re-tightened. Problem solved. Should have done this years ago ! :)
This video is WAY better than the instructions that come with the part!!
Thank you.

Your welcome . My cable kept Jamming. I had to buy new cable and ad a washer to the top. Now it works fine.
Thank you, sir, very helpful! 👍
Your welcome.
My kit was supposed to come with the cable clip but didn't. Can I still install it without it? What's the purpose of that clip?
Clip prevents the cable from jamming.
Electrical tape might work
Just looked at mine. The clip kept jamming on the cylinder.
I removed the clip and
added a washer to the top.
I works fine now.
Why wouldn’t to want the limiter to stop the tailgate from falling? Just curious
If you don't flatten the limiter it will bind and not close properly.
In the package, what is the plastic 2in x 3in strip for?
Mylar tape protects your paint. It is shown in the video 9:18
There is also a black plastic that clips on as well 8:28
