For price great addition to functionality of tail gate, easy to install, just make sure use right tools

***My review is still true, but the seller contacted and replaced quickly.****First step is to install the component in the tailgate. It comes with what looks like a nifty little makeshift bearing to make sure it works properly. It doesn’t. I ended up using vice grips to hold the anchor in place while I got it set - way more effort that it appears to be by the video and instructions. The rest went smoothly until I was snapping the gas spring in place. The spring clip broke! Now it’s just a matter of time that it slips off and the tail gate drops if I can’t figure out a way to secure it.

Works great on my truck easy to install

Works great, just what I wanted

Bought it because it was cheap and had 4+ stars. It worked pretty well for about a week. Then it broke and now I’m looking for a more sturdy option. Don’t waste your money on this. There’s nothing heavy duty about it.

This Tail gate assist is worth the money. I bought the FOMO for our 2020 F-150 for $85.00, a lot more money and a different design, it is hidden inside the body under the passenger tail light.Once I installed the one on my 2020, I really wanted to get something for the 2008 and I found this choice. The inside shock is not an option for the Gen 11 trucks but the engineers did a great job designing the hardware and shock size to keep this one out of the way.The instructions could be better. on the tail gate hardware, the assembly is more like a dry wall anchor that is placed inside the slot and screwed out to compress and expand the piece. Once that is secured in the tailgate, the nipple is then screwed into the threads for the tail gate mounting point.It opens smoothly and slowly, we will see how long the shock holds up. For the price, you can't beat it.

Makes opening tailgate easy
