## Description

One of the main features of owning a truck is the tailgate, however, if you’re not careful when letting it down it can come crashing down causing damage. With Orion Motor Tech's heavy-duty truck tailgate assist, you won't need to hear that loud "thud". This tailgate shock assist safely controls the descent and makes raising your pickup tailgate much easier, lowering your effort, saving your ears, and extending the service life of your tailgate and truck bed's other parts. Made of structural-grade 45# carbon steel, our tailgate shock boasts incredible strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Unlike its easily broken welded counterparts on the market, our high-strength mount plates are riveted for a longer service life. This tailgate shock kit is compatible with 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Chevy Silverado GMC Sierra 1500 2500 3500 as well as 2007 Classic 1500 models. This GMC and Chevy tailgate assist installs easily within minutes, requiring only a few wrenches and a little elbow grease.
