- This tailgate assist fits 2015-current Ford F150.
- NEW and IMPROVED – We have improved the hardware. You no longer have the little bottle of blue locktite to mess with. The hardware comes with locktite on it and ready to be installed. You do not have to worry about applying the locktite and getting it on your fingers, clothes, or your vehicle.
- Easy to use. The Dee Zee tailgate assist makes the use of your tailgate an ease. By simply installing this on your truck will give you the ability to release the tailgate with one hand and not have to worry about that loud bang when it comes down. The smooth controlled drop allows your children to safely lower the tailgate.
- By adding the heavy-duty tailgate assist to your truck will ease the strain on the cables and hinge point by not free falling. You also will no longer draw attention to yourself when everyone hears the bang as your tailgate slams down.
- Installation is a breeze NO DRILLING required and the parts are all specific to the year, make, and model truck.

It’s a type of “dampener” device that lets your tailgate down easily. The mod costs $20-$25. Several options exist out there. Here’s the one I used:

I have a 17 stx. Haven’t done any major upgrades yet but cheaper things I’ve added are
Future stuff I want to add include
I have basically the same thing, except the STX with 20" wheels. Same color scheme, everything. I loved the black on blue.
It’s a cylinder. I think this is it...

Here's something incredibly minor: I just put a tailgate assist shock on my '17 today. It takes about 10 minutes to install, feels great when you lower the tailgate, and only costs $25.
This is what you want. Well worth it and easy install.
I can see the higher prices for bed covers that are electric or whatever, but the ones that are some aluminum and hinges seem way overpriced. Oh man, you overpaid at 60, those puppies are 25 on amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Dee-Zee-DZ43204-Tailgate-Assist/dp/B01AP2BNS0/ref=sr_1_1?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Ifa4-nk4wIVD5-fCh0Ghg6YEAAYASAAEgJfWfD_BwE&hvadid=324825934280&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9002290&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=13704358256447364681&hvtargid=kwd-330416795004&hydadcr=6149_9589956&keywords=tailgate+assist&pd_rd_r=7587b763-2400-4676-bfea-a3c7dbe9353f&pd_rd_w=I19xi&pd_rd_wg=AgeHF&pf_rd_p=9ff8ac19-86ca-4471-91f7-d0c0ecfc7454&pf_rd_r=WWK6FEAYW5SCQMF0M5VP&qid=1564770890&s=automotive&sr=1-1&vehicle=2016-54-666-656-87-53-6-8-20042--8-1-2937--&vehicleName=2016+Ford+F-150
