Pickup Tailgate Dampers and Lift Assist Kits
Pickup Tailgate Dampers and Lift Assist Kits
Adding a touch of luxury, effortless convenience and safety, a tailgate damper and lift is a simple and cost-effective upgrade for a pickup which will prove a wise investment, day after day. By controlling the lowering and closing of a heavy pickup tailgate, one of these easy-fit kits transforms a two-handed operation into a painless one finger one touch process.

Tailgate Damper Kit
A tailgate damper kit absorbs and controls the impact as the pickup tailgate is opened – so instead of it lowering with a certain amount of force and a ‘slam’, it is a smooth and steady drop action. This is a useful safety enhancement if children and pets are regularly around the vehicle as well as a significant convenience upgrade. It also protects the tailgate hardware from impact damage.

Tailgate Damper & Lift Assist Kit
In addition to providing controlled tailgate lowering (as a damper kit does) a damper and lift assist kit also aids the closing action; so, it ensures an easier operation for both opening and shutting by acting like a shock absorber. By employing the strength of gas struts, the weight of the tailgate is effectively reduced by around 50% for a gradual, reliably smooth closure.
Tailgate Assist Features & Benefits
Controlled Action
A tailgate damper lowers the tailgate slowly in a controlled action; safer for anyone in the vicinity, especially children and pets.
One-Hand Operation
Lowering the tailgate safely becomes a one hand operation rather than two - very ‘handy’ when carrying or loading tools/goods.
Assisted Lift
Take the strain out of shutting a heavy tailgate with a lift assist kit; this effectively reduces its weight by 50% for one hand closure.
Smooth and Steady
A damper and lift assist kit ensures tailgate closing and opening is done at a steady speed with smooth action; no need to force to it shut.
Affordability
For every day convenience and safety, this is a much-appreciated upgrade which will add value and user benefit to any pickup truck.
Simple Installation
Full details are supplied to easily install this kit - no drilling required - which takes approximately 30 minutes. A bestselling accessory.
