Lol. Well that’s the quickest Amazon purchase I’ve ever made after seeing a product on TH-cam for the first time.
I ordered the assist and rewatched this video to make sure I understood the directions. I grabbed the DeeZee package and out to the driveway I went (in my robe and slippers..lol we don't have neighbors). I went out to our shop and found the recommended tools and headed back to the tailgate of our 2019 F150. It took me less than five minutes to do this. Tested the tailgate and woolah, it works perfectly. Thank you for sharing this video. You make my life easier!
Left out of this instruction video is the new upper bracket placed where the torx nut was pulled, and edited video of that misery of getting that torx nut off 😂. Have a breaker bar handy!
02:18 Completely skipped the upper bracket install ??
A short hydraulic tailgate assist strut is so useful! My daddy's 2020 Mitsubishi Triton Athlete has that feature from the factory, so no problem with that.
I've had these on 3 of my trucks already.
Very good component. First one used for 7yrs and shock still work to the day I sold the truck.
** Also a must have for people with kids. Makes a heavy tail gate safe.
This looks easy... Thank you... I've got a 2017 F150 Ecoboost... Fixing it up as I go..
just installed mine, easy peezy, love it
You skipped putting on the top piece that the shock attaches to.
and why did he need to pull the cable out of the top bolt? He was just sliding a piece in behind it and screwing it back on.
Yeah, I rewinded it like 10x🤣
Exactly !!!
Install was as described in video… thanks for the tutorial.
Works perfect on my 2018
great video and photography --excellent narration but .............. You did skip the "putting on the top piece that the shock attaches to."
I was confused by the omission first time thru.
Easy, THX went on in a few minutes.
I need this for my 2013.
Thanks for your help 👍🏽👍🏽
I installed these on my 2009 and now on my 2012 and love it, although I wish mine were installed like this. I have the model where you have to insert the tailgate pivot into a hole on the tailgate. About every year or two I have to replace that part because they always work themselves loose. Very poor design. This new design will be a LOT better. Wish this would fit on my 2012.
Brutal Dude.
Might need this for my ford maverick
I appreciate that💯
On my 2021 f-150 I had to remove the beer bottle opener, luckily there is one on the passenger side also! lol
After installing the Dee Zee tailgate assist on my 2017 F150 l desired to install led tail light bulbs. A real pain in the butt to pop the spring clip to gain access to the top tail light bolt
Will this work on the newer FORD tailgates with the "STEP" integrated into the tailgate??? If not, what will? Our tailgate is heavy because it has that "crappy" step system. It's truly worthless and the plastic pops off almost every time we use it. I've had it repaired multiple times. But, I'd love to install this if it'll work for our truck.
That was easy. My Thailand built Toyota 2022 Rivo pickup has hinge bolts that won't release. #40 spline screws are solid. From inside tailgate there are nuts holding but not enough room for socket. Can't remove. Any ideas. Don't want to drill out. Help...
ANYONE TRY THIS ON A 2017 XLT? SOME SAY THERE IS A CHANGE? AND IT WONT WORK( BINDING)?
Cool
how do you add those mobile links at the end
Missed a step where you install the top bracket
¿Se le puede hacer a una LARIAT 2012?
you can put one on each side
Can this be install with a Lennox liner?
Your address to purchase two parts. I intend to use HILUX REVO 2017. Brazil, south america
Does this work on a 2020
What you didn't mention is that in case you spaced out and installed the shock upside down, (pull out past on top) you can NOT remove it without breaking the entire shock part!
I installed the OEM gas shock on my truck. It hides inside the passenger side tail light lense. Took about 15 minutes to do and looks much better than seeing an exposed shock.
Do you happen to have the part number?
That exposed shock when the gate is down must be a real eyesore.
Is there a passenger side piston for sale?
Yes yes
Should there be some protective film put between the bracket and tailgate? Being bracket is steel and tailgate aluminum
Why did you skip putting on the top piece?
Does it make the tailgate easier to close? Or just dampen the opening?
@ 3:54 it looks like it does indeed make it easier to close.
thanks.
thanks for watching!
I just installed mine on my 2015 f150 and the strut makes a loud sound when it's extending. Is that normal?
Yeah. Just did one on mine and it’s also quite loud
Am I crazy here or is my tailgate not flush after installing? Any of y’all see the same thing? Passenger side is flush but on the drivers side where I installed it I can see the components through a visible crease
Didnt even show the install on top..

Wish this was available for my 96 bronco
Wish this was available for my 67 bronco
Would it not work? I have a 93 Bronco. What i learned about chevy is that the tailgate from a 99 was exact fit four an 87. Maybe it would work
Not sure why anyone would go with this over the OEM implementation that is also hidden. It's about $35 in parts...
Do you know if there will be any duty on the item ?
What was wrong with the original bolt on the tailgate? Also how much is the kit?
I thought the same thing, and then saw that the OEM bolt would hit the assembly. The DZ supplied bolt is low profile.
Will this fit a 2019 Ram 1500 new body style?
Its for ford not ram...
@@lancethomas4566 how can I find it tho?
@@crazyclown4782 find what
Do you have this for the new 2019 Ranger?
Amazon
@@KM-xn5kj : US Ranger or European?
And what are the shipping charges to Canada 🇨🇦
Smh I cannot for the life of me unscrew the cable screw. Any suggestions? It's super tight!
Leverage, mines was hell taking it out as well
FYI IF YOU HAVE A 2017 F-150?
Will this fit on a 2017 F150?
A: As per Dee Zee this will not work on your 2017 Ford F150. They will be releasing new part number 43205 that is designed for you vehicle in early March. I hope this helps! Mary/DirectDistributing
I just installed mine on a 2017 and works fine. The shock makes a funny sound but works fine.
I’ll go with OEM ....
You have to remove the tailgate and tail light for the oem
I'll add to the chorus....Why in the heck did you skip the installation of the upper bracket but then show a close up of disconnecting the cable?
Does anyone else's cable get wedged between the tailgate and shock making it difficult or damaging to close the tailgate?
Mines does to
Maybe just adjust the screws
Let me know you figure out the issue
If it's installed correctly, I can tell you on Fseries trucks 2015-20, it fits and operates just fine.
What is the blue liquid in the bottle for?!
Thats blue thread locker.
CJ Off-Road do they make these for 99 - 02 Silverado 1500 ??
Does it not hit anything when you close the tail gate
no it does not.
Just installed mine. It takes about double the time for the tailgate to come down? Is my shock bad?
Your shock is just fine, it's supposed to slow it down and make it open nice and easy.
No it’s not bad, that’s the whole point
For quicker time just remove the shock and slam hardly the tailgate... ahahaha
@@Benjamin06267485 😁😁😁😁
Temp can play a part in that
Does this work on the 2018 and do you ship to Canada
It does not fit your 2018, but here is an even better kit that does fit www.cjponyparts.com/ford-tailgate-damper-kit-oem-f-150-2015-2018-f-150-raptor-2017-2018/p/FL3Z99406A10A/
And yes we ship internationally!
Got mine in Canada at www.actiontrucks.com/
My friend Freddy, if it does not work for 2018 then why the title said 2015-2019
@@KennyCosway Hey thanks for that...always looking for good places here instead of buying off Planet Bezos...great link!
You didn't show the installation of both pieces of hardware!
Can you put that on 2010??
You cant use the exact one we used in the video, but this one will work for your 2010 www.cjponyparts.com/dee-zee-truck-tailgate-assist-shock-black-kit-f-150-2007-2014/p/DZ43200/
The video was pretty good, but it failed to show the installation of the top bracket. Easy enough to figure it out, but doesn't make much sense not to show it.
Where can I buy this kit?
Why don't you answer his question like a gentleman Eff U?
Is this the guy from *Poor Man Mods?*
Yup!
Why r these sold in a package of 2 if you only need to use 1?
Installation is easier than the Ford OEM, but the Ford OEM is completely hidden.
Uh oh now need to remove to change a brake light
looks like it missing a few steps.
Get the original from ford , it goes behind the tail light so u can’t see it . Imo it way worth the little bit more u pay vs this
Why the hell didn’t ford make all their tail gates like this! I tried to do this and what I had didn’t work
You skipped an entire step of mounting the top bracket to the truck
Went to buy but does not say it fits 2018 F150 !
Here ya go, this should work for ya! www.cjponyparts.com/ford-tailgate-damper-kit-oem-f-150-2015-2018-f-150-raptor-2017-2018/p/FL3Z99406A10A/
Thank you , I`ll take a look.
$65.00 cost original factory ,and is way better ...
Needed 10mm socket. Welp, I can't install it. Can't find my dang 10mm
😅😅 TAKE MY Money 😅
It makes noise don't know why
Got this mod on my 16 named Legend. Easy and one of best mods to install. Check my channel out.
Mom
It makes noise
Skipped a step
It won't slam down if you don't drop it. I've had no problems with that over the last 50 years.
But you need something to prevent idiots who walk by your truck and drop the tailgate though. Happened to me. A coworker came by and opened mine and let it drop...didn't do damage but it can...
If somebody did that to mine on purpose I would drop my fist in his face. If done by accident I would drop f-bombs in his ear so he knows that next time there won't be a next time.
A full size tailgate is a little heavy for a kid. My six year old son almost dropped the tailgate on his head but I caught it. I'm planning on getting one of these
Its all about making things better you old fart
Doesn’t sound like you have been layed in 50 years either…
Just cut out half the video that's fine.
Completely skip over the second bracket install. Also, the clear "adhesive" has barely any stick. Cheap off brand scotch tape has better sticking. Ended up throwing the clear junk away.
2014 and down kits are garbage for the tailgate wedge sert. The hole is ablong
Buy the stock ford one, cheaper and it's hidden!
jeason gagnon link or part number????
FL3Z-83430B38-B Roller and FL3Z-99442A38-A Support Strut
Bought it from online from Bear Lake Autonation Ford. They have the most complete online store! Also compared the prices from local Floridian Autonation Fords, can't beat it.
Looks like even from discount eBay sellers those two parts are more expensive than the Dee Zee equiv. I do prefer stock/OE parts when I can thanks for the info though jeason gagnon
It's not cheaper.....you lied dumbass...
It’s so simple…until putting the cable bolt back in (for my truck at least) needed to by a T50 socket. The tool provided is garbage.
I bought mine. The top connector rusted and broke after 2 months. They wouldn't replace it and hung up on me several times when I demanded a replacement. GARBAGE
Couldn't handle the music.. headache
Turn the shitty music down !It would make your vidios easier to watch.
now that's complete BS
