I put one on truck several years ago when my grandson almost opened it.
He was 4 whe I did this, I did it more for his safety so it wouldnt buat him in the head.

The damper should be behind the driver's side taillight on the Gen5 trucks

I've had mine on for almost four years. Only problem I've found is that I forget that not all trucks have one. I've dropped my brother's tailgate a couple times.

I had dee zee on both my previous trucks. Only warning; they are a b@$**** in the really cold in the northern climes. In winter sometimes it wouldn’t allow me to close the gate the oil/filler material got so cold. One occasion I had to manually PULL down on gate to open. But minor issues really compared to the repeated slam of descending gate!

The DeeZee tail gate damper is an excellent idea. i have also had on previous trucks as well is my current one. Easy to install and no fear of stressing anything from an uncontrolled drop. It adds no resistance when closing too, making this item a perfect addition to your truck.

Installed one of those the week after I got my truck. I'm happy and so is the wife!

Like soft close toilet seats.
