    Overview

    Manufactured in Australia and Germany, Tailgate Assist incorporates two types of struts co-developed with Stabilus, the world leader in gas strut technology.

    The passenger side damping strut helps to slowly lower the tailgate which, once opened, can be let go and continue to lower unassisted in a controlled manner. On the driver’s side of the tailgate, a gas-assisted traction strut helps to close the tailgate; making lifting easy and achievable with a simple one-handed motion.

    Each kit comes with vehicle-specific hardware including mounting brackets and replacement tailgate cables and guide brackets where required.

    Assisted Tailgate Closing

    Factory tested for durability, the two-way damper kit provides reliably smooth assistance when lift-closing the tailgate. The reduced effective weight of the tailgate helps prevent injury by lowering the risk of getting hands or fingers caught between the tailgate and the truck body, as well as back, wrist or shoulder strain.

    Easy Install

    The kit is a value-adding upgrade, designed to work in conjunction with your vehicle's existing components including support cables. The two-way tailgate damper kit includes one support cable, two internal pistons and a single damper ﾖ and a comprehensive installation guide. The damper can be fitted in around 45 minutes with minimal drilling required.
