How does the Tailgate Assist work?

The Tailgate Assist is a shock absorber that dampens the motion of the tailgate as it opens. It works in conjunction with your truck's existing tailgate cables to provide a controlled, smooth opening.

Is any drilling required for installation?

No, the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist is designed for a no-drill installation. It uses existing mounting points on your truck, making the installation process quick and easy.

Will this tailgate assist work with a bed liner?

The Dee Zee Tailgate Assist is designed to work with most bed liners. However, it's always a good idea to check the fitment and installation instructions to ensure compatibility with your specific bed liner.
