powoq Tailgate Assist for 2009-2026 Ram 1500

I installed on my 2013 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman and it fit perfectly. It did not come with an instruction manual but there is a video on the item pictures. I use the tailgate on my truck EVERY DAY for for and this changed how nice and smooth it is to open the tailgate now. Good quality on the slow opening function getting rid of the loud bang when you don't have one of these. For $25 it is a great value as well as a kinda safety feature.

Installation was straightforward, and it fit perfectly on my truck. Once installed, the tailgate lowers softly and smoothly instead of slamming down, which makes a big difference in everyday use.

The shock feels solid and well-made, and it's clear this is built to last. It takes the weight off your arm and helps protect the tailgate from unnecessary wear and tear. After using it, I can't imagine going back to a tailgate without an assist.

I did have to use a impact driver to remove the installed bolt. Without one you may have an issue.

Overall, this is a simple, affordable upgrade that adds convenience and protects your truck. Highly recommended for any 2009–2025 RAM 1500 owner!

Received quickly. Easy to install and works great!!!

Works will and would defiantly recommend.

This a great tailgate strut and it came with a lot of different size options for the installation hardware. It comes with a swivel plate to allow the strut to lay vertical when the tailgate is closed and to allow the strut to rest at a 45 degree angle when the tailgate is down. It also comes with two different size widths or metrics of threads for the ball joints that anchor into the tailgate.
If you are new to installing something like this it can be intimidating but one tip I can give you is that the heads on both ends of the strut actually unscrew off. That makes it a bit easier. Also the back of the heads have a release band for the ball joint socket that you can activate with a flat head screwdriver in case you want to release the ball from the socket. And one last thing is this will work on any truck that has enough space on the side of the closed tailgate to fit this strut and if you're wondering whether or not yours does, I can assure you it does. And once installed it works so good. You can just lift the tailgate latch and then let the weight of the tailgate get taken by the strut which then gently glides it down to the rest position.

Works great easy to install and no issues

Fácil la instalación y buen producto

Makes opening Abd coding the tailgate much easier than without

No more banging when I open the tailgate. And it's pretty easy to install. Just watch the video first. I am very happy with the quiet tailgate now.

Works perfectly, it slows down the tail gate without it falling down.

the shock for the tailgate seems to work fine, the tool that came with the kit broke while using it to try to install the kit.

I have a 2019 ram truck. Anyone that knows these tailgates, knows they are heavy, they fall heavy and are hard to lift when closing. This tailgate assist has changed everything. It makes it easy to lift, it doesn't fall so hard when I open it and it's made with really good quality. It doesn't interfere with the tail gate opening or closing.
This is a great little addition to the truck that makes a huge difference in its functionality. It was very easy to install.
