Awesome, I just installed the same thing today! I call it the little noggin saver (youngest loves to drop the tailgate and climb in the back)

Just curious, did you have any issues with the clearance on the side of tailgate using the supplied washer?

That looks sweet. Is there a part number? Or online place to purchase.

Very nice. I installed one on my 09 but it doesn't open as slowly as yours does :(

I had issue - They are sending me a different unit for a Ford to beat all, it has a drop bracket and a shorter shock. They said they have issues out of about 2-3% of the 2013's.

You can order them from DeeZee direct, or shop around at the sponsors on the right of the page. Prices can vary around 5-6 bucks plus free shipping.

For the Canadians out there not interested in the extra cost of shipping and duty from the lower 48, they carry them at Lordco for $25. Not bad actually.

Absolutely love it. It gives you peace of mind knowing that when you drop the tailgate it won't bang open

This is an awesome mod to do and IMO very inexpensive for what you get and how is performs.

The 43300 is supposed to be for Ram, but a certain number of tailgates have too close a tolerance and rub. Dee Zee has been very gracious about replacing those with a model that will not rub, but it s the F-150 kit. To make that install if you haven't already bought the 43300, you will need to buy a Torx 45--the Ford kit comes with a Torx-50 that is no bueno. :Pshyco:
