[@fondupot]

Glad to help! Good luck on your install for your sons truck! The one I have is still going strong almost 3 years later.

[@fondupot]

Several months later, this damper is still working fine! Part number for this is DZ43102 Buy it Here: amzn.to/3qi0LIs

[@AdamOutlaw87]

Your link is for a ford

[@fondupot]

Hmm. They must have updated the listings. That happens sometimes and then my links get whacky. Search the part number and you’ll find the right one, or try this link. amzn.to/3qi0LIs

[@bananasarefree]

Now they need to create one to help lift the tailgate to close! Lol.

[@fondupot]

Most manufacturers after adding them from the factory now. An aftermarket option would be nice for older trucks though.

[@rebeccarogers8958]

Does it also assist with closing the tailgate?

[@fondupot]

Unfortunately, no. Same effort requires to close the tailgate.

[@rebeccarogers8958]

@@fondupot Dang, thought that might be the case. 😕 thanks for you reply, though.

[@fondupot]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching

[@jorgeaz5580]

I bought the same one and it did a great job, until the shock snapped. Does anyone know the size of the shock?

[@fondupot]

Dang sorry to hear that. How long did you have it on your truck? Mine is still going strong after a few years.

[@jorgeaz5580]

@@fondupot about 3 to 5 months, hoping to find the size of the of the shock just replace it and I don't buy the whole kit again

[@fondupot]

Reach out to Deezee. There’s has to be some kind of warranty. Maybe they can send you a new one for free.

[@sinaloacosala1]

How has it been holding up? Also the link you have for it on amazon it says its for a f150. Will it fit my 2014 sierra?

[@fondupot]

Still working great. Yea it appears my link is not pulling up the correct one anymore. But the part number listed in the description is the one for 2014-2018 Silverado. DZ43102.

[@jackdavis4107]

order to fit specific model

[@booly7621]

If I put one of these on each side of the tailgate will it increase horsepower?

[@fondupot]

Ha. Funny. It actually switches you to be all electric. So you only need to use diesel fuel and you never have to change your hydraulic fluid ever again. /s

[@luisperez-xd5mo]

Can i put 1 on each side?

[@fondupot]

No need. The one shock does it all just fine. Mine is still going strong, 3 years later.

[@luisperez-xd5mo]

@@fondupot ok thanks

[@2018soccerplayer]

How do you pull the shock apart?

[@fondupot]

By hand. It’s not very hard.

[@2018soccerplayer]

@@fondupot could you show me . I cant figure it out

[@fondupot]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[@2018soccerplayer]

@@fondupot extend the shock, so It can reach the tailgate and the bed.
