I only buy DeeZee tailgate shocks because they LAST.
Had a Deezee on my 2018 F150 lasted 3+ years zero issues, that truck is gone now and my old Deezee has been sitting on my garage for the last 3 years, so i ordered a new one since i forgot to take off one of the mounting brackets when my old truck was totaled. The old shock is unfortunately no longer working as good as new, so i installed the new shock anyway (was hoping to have a fresh back up but the original is well over 6 years old now 😂) As always, clean install, zero complaints, smooth as butter.

Good product
Easy to install on my 2016 F 150. Dampers the tailgate nicely. Works good so far.

Hubby very happy with this purchase
My husband is over the moon excited about this purchase! They installed really easily from what he said, and he absolutely loves it. No more slamming down or having to slowly lift down the tailgate. Yeah you still have to close the tailgate on your own but of course that is to be expected when you own a nice truck!

Easy Install, Works Perfectly
Very easy to install and works as expected. The thin film to protect the paint doesn’t stay over time.

Not A Bad Product
Seems like a great tailgate damper. Of course time will tell on how long it’ll last and how winter months take a tole on it. The T50 bit it comes with doesn’t work to well when removing the t50 bolt for the first time. Also doesn’t come with an Allen key for the provided bolt. But for the price it’s not a sell off and I’d buy this again in the future.

This is hands down, or should I say hands up the best upgrade so far on the truck. It was extremely easy to install and probably save you from many unpleasant surprises not even to mention sounding like you break your tailgate every time it falls open. It lowers the tailgate nice and elegantly while closing it with no push back. We have this now for over 3 years and it still works great. Highly recommend this product

I have it for almost a year fitted on my F-150 and even in the hottest ambient temp. It works 100%. Precise instructions, easy fit, good and solid quality product.
