I didn't even know these were even made. I'm glad they are though. I went to get my christmas tree Monday. Was stuck with a tree in my hand, could only unlatch the tailgate and it dropped. I felt my heart skip. Considering I did just buy my truck that saturday before. Good looking out, and a damn good post.

I ordered mine online, then found it at the dealer for the same price (less shipping of course)- DOH!
Great mod.

Love Dee Zee products but in this case save $10 and go to O'Riellys. Yes...it's in stock. This is by far my favorite mod so far!

First time I actually tailgated with my new truck I'd only had it a couple weeks. I didn't get it latched properly when we loaded up. As I'm leaving the area, my tailgate drops all the way down BAM! :eek: My heart about stopped. My wife says "What the hell did you hit? " It was that loud.

This sounds like a great $30 mod.

This is one mod that will be on any truck I own. Don't know why it is not factory.

Awesome mod!! This is the first truck I added it to. Bought it for $35 with free shipping. I'll never own another truck without it. Also, DeeZee, awesome company to deal with. Customer service is awesome. Like an idiot when installing, I put it on in a rush and didn't even bother looking at the instructions. An 8 year old could install this after reading their instruction booklet. So without thinking about it and rushing, I put it on the side of the tailgate in which pops off for tailgate removal. Finish install let the thing open up and SLAM my tailgate rips off the truck. Puts a nice nick in my two week old paint as the tailgate assist rips it back into the truck.

Well anyways since the insert for the bolt to thread into is a one time use deal, I call DeeZee to buy a new one and put it on the right side of the truck. Tell the customer service rep what happened, she laughs and says you wouldn't believe how many times I've heard this. She then says "So, you receieved your ez down assist without a hardware package, I'm terribly sorry, we'll overnight that to your address free of charge." She said thanks for my business and hung up. Best customer service I've had!

+1 for DeeZee and their product(s)
