DeeZee FYI

It wasn't messing up paint, the support cable wasn't clearing the piston so it rubbed and would bind. The new 4th gen model is ok from what peeps are reporting.

There is a clip you have to put on the cable so it doesn't bind
Also you have to take off the limiter on the bottom of the cable

I want one too, BUT after reading all the good and bad, think i will pass.
If it is tearing up the paint, I THINK NOT... will keep following this post to see more veiws on this

Just get the 2013 F-150 version with the drop bracket... it's flawless.

2013 dodge ram dz43301

(Like I mentioned in a previous post) I got my DEEZEE DZ4330 direct from DEEZEE. It s aQUICK, SIMPLE installation EXCEPT for that %#$*@^ nutserk. I followed their printed instructions and watched the video MANY times. When I installed the nutserk, it felt FIRM. After showing a few of my friends how it worked, it had loosened up and I had a DEVIL of a time getting it out. I contacted their tech support and they graciously sent me another installation kit complete with the WRONG wrench and they SUGGESTED I go ahead and hold the screww with the allen wrench and turn the tightening nut with the other wrence and turn it "until it gets snug.." I THOUGHT that is what I done the FIRST TIME. I am ALMOST AFRAID to ruin another nutserk.. Maybe I can find soime someplace to have on hand for IF it comes loose again.. BUT.... other than the issue I have had with the nutserk, I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE SYSTEM. NO BINDING UP... NO CLEARANCE ISSUES and it WAS rather simple and quick to install OTHER THAN THAT DOGGONE NUTSERK..

I TRIED installing the new nutserk DEEZEE sent me and had the SAME, EXACT RESULTS. What was happening was the nutsert itself was TURNING inside the tailgate hole thus NOT expanding like it was supposed to. I called DEEZEE and I talked with Dave.. He offered a couple suggestions but it did NOT work out.. I ended up running the bolt COMPLETELY through the end of the nutserk and I put another nut on the backside and started twisting and FINALLY tightening it up.. IT WORKED... AFTER expanding my vocabulary of "4 letter words" I FINALLY got it to snug up and it is now WORKING PERFECTLY.. OTHER than that nutsert device.. it was a FAST, SIMPLE install but I think the nutsert could be engineered differently. I DO RECOMMEND this install kit and it works GREAT NOW..
