(Note: this link is for the (03-07(classic) Silverado. OMT makes the shocks for a lot on different trucks so if you have a different truck you will need to verify fitment!)

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Got one for father's day. Not this kit but, the set up works and went on w/o issue. The video's on line are definatley better than the printed 'instructions.'
Thanks for the how-to video. Just bought this and about to put on myself. Also noticed that in the bottom left of your tailgate it says Elizabethtown Kentucky. That's where I was born and where my family is. Pretty cool. Pretty small world. All my best to you and yours.
Same to you and yours! And yea, we live a couple hours south of there in Tennessee the guy I bought it from lived there!
Put one on my 05 Silverado 5 years ago, still works great, best thing ever!
Just replaced these for my glass lift for $20 a pair and tailgate lifts for $14 a pair through eBay for my 02 ZR2 blazer, they work extremely well, that support is perfect for the tailgates👍
Best mod ever for these tailgates
Great, easy, cheap upgrade. It's definitely nice to have! Just put one on my 06
I like that easy drop down mode with that shock I want see if it work on my classic '88 suburban tail gate that be frigging nice
I’m sure they make a kit for it they have these for all sorts of different trucks!
Around here in ca we gotta worry about the entire tailgate getting stolen-
I’ve been seeing stuff about that lately.. that’s wild.. at least this would make it harder to steal lol
Hola agradezco la instrucción de Gates me ayudó mucho...tengo un modelo Chevrolet 2002 y me interesaría saber de los estribos instalación ..hay unos muy prácticos móviles...no se si sea compatible....adquirí mismo Gates
I tried these on a Tacoma and the cable kept getting caught up in the shock and sticking out the crack between the tailgate and the bed. Had to take them off.
@@Tactical07H3 i haven’t ran into that issue.. there is a ton of space between the bed and the tailgate on these trucks though. Not sure how tight the clearance is on the tacomas.
Hey bud, appreciate the video! Looking at the exact same brand right now, any long-term issues to report a couple years down the road now?
As of right now it’s still perfect!
@@ZPTVChannel Definitely appreciate the confirmation. Picked up a set the other day and threw it in this morning, loving it already! Thanks again.👍
Does it lighten the tailgate to make closing easier? My old 93 F250 tailgate weighs as much as the entire bed dead on my Tundra
It made mine a little bit heavier due to the resistance of the cylinder..
I have 2006 tundra I can’t find this product for this truck
I’m sure they make one for it! I would just look up tundra tailgate assist and I’m sure it’ll pop up!
do you have a link for the heavy duty hinges?

thanks
My tailgate rattles while I drive..would this help with the noise also?
There are rubber stops that are there from the factory that stop that. Yours probably came off making it rattle
@@ZPTVChannel thank you for the quick reply..I'll look into getting new ones.. the truck is 30 years old...alot of things rattle lol
Oh trust me I know lol 😂
how has it held up, would you do it again?
It’s been great! Still has good holding pressure I would most definitely do it again!
@@ZPTVChannel just ordered one for my 99 F250. when did tailgates get so heavy, I got an 87 Dodge that half the weight of this ford, which feels like it weighs more then me
@@ZPTVChannel thanks
@@seymourwrasse3321 no problem! And right?? Lol my wife would open mine and slam it down so when I came across this I jumped on it lol 😂
@@ZPTVChannel I'm 62, things get heavier when you get older, of course, it beats the alternative
Will that work for my 2002 Chevy Avalanche ?
I want to say yes but I’m not 100% sure if the mounting points are the same.
There is no video it is blacked out
$20.00 in the US $50.00 in Canada. Man I hate Canada haha
Dang…. I didn’t know the exchange rate was that much..
@@ZPTVChannel You can't really do anything in the automotive industry here because of the prices of things. Look at almost every TH-camr out there and they're from the US. People buying crashed cars to fix them from auctions and fixing them is just not feasible here.
That makes sense.. I wouldn’t know what to do lol my wife would be happy because I wouldn’t be buying all these car parts 😂
@@ZPTVChannel Oh mine loves it, believe me haha I plan to maybe try youtube one day but we'll see.
Let me know if you do so I can check it out! It took me forever to start mine because i was nervous and indecisive lol
Don’t buy cheap they will break in a month.
