Review: GREAT PRODUCT - Everything you need for installation is included, minus a wrench. Instructions are very clear, and the setup process was quick and easy! It took me about 10 minutes. This product works great on my old truck. My tailgate is very rusty and dented, but this strut still works great! Very high quality and worth the money!
Review: It’s only made for drivers side. - It will only work on the drivers side. I bought two because of the reviews but the bottom bracket is only made for the drivers side. Easy to install and it does help tremendously but two would be better. I thought I’d be able to cut the mount to fit but it will not align properly. I attempted to return the item but the seller stated no need to return! Fantastic to work with, amazing customer support and refund was immediate!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Actually works, well worth it!!
*by K***R on January 1, 2026*

Honestly very impressed with this kit. I never leave reviews but I have to for this. Cheap and very nicely packaged. Comes with detailed picture instructions and is very easy to install. I have a 2011 f150 with a heavy step tailgate with 0 support left in it as the brackets broken, now with this I can open the handle and let the tailgate drop with no hands and it slowly drops. Highly recommend
