This Dee Zee Truck Tailgate Assist Shock is for all 2007-2014 F-150s. Trucks are meant to haul things in the bed, and one time or another, the tailgate has probably been opened and allowed to drop down on the cables. While these ables are there for a reason, this can definitely cause some damage over time.
This tailgate assist is going to mount on the driver side, and is going to slowly lower the tailgate to protect it from damage. This is a very easy installation, and today, we're going to show you how to install it on our 2013 F-150.

I didn't even know these existed until a few days ago so I immediately ordered the kit and about to install it, seems so easy too. Thanks for the tutorial because my kit didn't come with instructions, it's a great little $15 investment.

I bought a different brand, but it looked identical to your set-up. You helped me make this happen, perfect...... 👌 perfect instructions! Thank you for the guidance. Mine came with zero instructions. I had an idea, but you gave me the fine tuning. Thank you for the post!

I just installed one in my Ford 2015 F150. My kit is a little different from the one you are using in this video. No where in the kit tells you what the plastic squeeze bottle was for. I realized it was “Lock Tight” when I opened it up. Your company really should say what it’s for in the instructions. That said the kit really makes a huge difference in opening the tailgate. It’s much easier to open and Ford should sell the trucks with this installed. Great kit!!

I just installed my and looooovee it. Make it way easier, better and safely

[@samt6328]

Appreciate the walk through. My installation was perfect

[@davemiller5977]

I ordered this and the wrench supplied doesn't work. You better have some tools in your arsenal or you'll have to buy some, like I did. Once I bought the tools AND WATCHED THIS VIDEO, it was a piece of cake, The one step I was stuck on, you showed me how to do it. Thanks again.

Bought a generic unit and it did not work. Worked on it for an hour. Bought this unit, 10 min later I was done. Thanks for the video.

I bought the barricade tailgate assist and it was a little more work , but feels more solid. I may add another one to the other side

[@royantillon6786]

Great video and explanation thanks for sharing 👍

I just did this on my 2013 Fx4. Biggest issue I had was every time I kept closing my tailgate the cable kept getting caught on the assist and sticking out. Maybe because my cable is old and worn out? I bent the top part of the cable inwards just a little bit and now it slides inside the assist and doesn’t show when closed. Pretty simple to do. To add The torx wrench supplied is horrible would advise using a socket. If not careful you could strip the torx screw.

What a good idea can make one of these for my FG Ford ute down here in Australia.

[@normssti3661]

Any idea why the pin in the tailgate pop off? Theres like 1/8th of thread and i try to redo the first step to tighten it but as soon as i open the tailgate the pin pops off and the golden thing is loose

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Got it installed!! Works good so far. Heard some bad stories that it fails after 6months...? I just uploaded a video. Hopefully it can handle the weather once it drops below freezing

[@Matthew55904]

Could you install two of these? One on both sides should make the gate lower even slower and possibly more sturdy

[@davidarroyo8831]

Great video, thanks

[@danschwab9949]

Thank you for a great video. After watching it, it took me 15 minutes to install very easily.

[@donniehodge2548]

I have a 2011F150 I like that Thanks

[@dirtykustomz]

Can you install 2 left and right ?

[@DeezNuts-sx9jd]

I bought mine about a year ago, but now the bolt on the actual tailgate has come loose, so now the assist is falling off it. How would I got about getting the bolt out?

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Man oh man! I could not remove the top screw with the tool they provided, it is so tight, couldn’t even budge it and I’m pretty strong. Gave up, need to buy a torque set with ratchet I guess
