Everything worked out all parts used except for the insert piece. I had no choice but to reuse that because there is no way of removing once that is inserted. Tail gate back to working properly and lets down slowly. I will do business with again with this company. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great But *by on Reviewed in Saudi Arabia 17 September 2022* It works good but the wire sometime stuck between the door and the shockI did install every thing right even the thing on the wireOne time it fall offAnyway i like it works great ## Frequently Bought Together - DEE ZEE DZ43301 Truck Tailgate Assist - Rear Bed Step Compatible with Dodge Ram 2500 3500# 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Retractable Bumper Tailgate Step 82215842AH 82215842AD 82215842AE 82215842AC - Xinghe for Dodge Ram 2009 to 2024, American Flag Decals Stickers for Truck Back Middle Window, Matte Black USA Flag Decal --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/239117603-dz43301-ram-tailgate-assist-09-18-ram-1500-2019-ram](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/239117603-dz43301-ram-tailgate-assist-09-18-ram-1500-2019-ram) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
