Pleasantly Smooth Opening

Overcome the rapid drop-slamming when opening your pick-up’s tailgate with Truckman’s two-way tailgate damper kit. The kit helps users open the tailgate with ease - especially useful with one-hand operation when loading and unloading cargo into and out of the truck load bed area.

The two-way damper kit also protects the tailgate’s internal components, as well as hinges and cables, from long term shock damage thanks to the reduction in speed of the opening action. The damper kit reduces the effective weight of the tailgate by over 50% - a noticable and reassuring difference that gives peace of mind.

Much like a vehicle’s shock absorbers designed to control spring and suspension movement, the two-way damper kit acts as a shock absorber for the truck’s tailgate - ensuring that the tailgate is operated as a controlled speed, preventing shock and accidental injury to the user as well as family members, pets or children.

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 to Install

The kit is a value-adding upgrade for your vehicle, designed to work in conjunction with existing vehicle-specific components including support cables. The two-way tailgate damper can be fitted in minutes, requires mininmal drilling and includes both fitting accessories and a comprehensive installation guide.
