Dee Zee Tailgate Assist

[JB1]

Checked mine and the install is correct but the shock also holds the tail gate ( left side ) and not the cable. The right side ( passenger side ) cable holds the tail gate. Any thoughts ?

Pop off one end of that shock and see if the cable is still loose on that side, maybe its been like that since new and you just never noticed, mine was like that

I just ordered one of these...seems like a nifty little item for $22!

I too had mine installed upside down...Doh!

I installed mine this evening.....the wrong way and it dropped fast for the first few inches. Then I found this thread. So, I corrected it. Now it's slow pretty much from the start.

Installed mine today...works great!

Haven't had a tailgate dampener in 20 years of pickups, so I didn't think I needed one. After reading these threads, I figured it's cheap enough and easy enough, so I gave it a try. Definitely glad I did. It's so much easier just unlatching it and letting it drop (slowly).

To me, the DeeZee was like the Pedal Commander...do I need it? No. Does the truck run fine without it? Certainly does. Is it really worth it? Well, after owning and using it, ummm, yeah, it's worth it!

Yup. Anything that says 2017 means it will work on a 2018... they just didn't update the year on amazon/packaging/etc.
