Tailgate lift support for GMC and Chevrolet trucks
This gas-strut kit fits GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 HD and 3500 HD models from 2007 to 2018 as well as Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500 HD and 3500 HD models from the same years. It replaces a worn or missing factory strut so the tailgate opens and closes without slamming. The set includes the shock, top and bottom ball-mount plates, bolt, blind nut and installation tool. No drilling is required for fitting.
Controlled drop rate under repeated daily use
The strut uses a thickened carbon-steel cylinder and stainless-steel piston rod to maintain consistent damping over many cycles. An all-metal end bracket and a dedicated shield cover protect the internals from dust and moisture, preserving sealing performance when the tailgate is operated frequently. The M6x1.0 thread and 8 mm and 11 mm mounting holes match the original attachment points, so the force stays calibrated for the gate weight.
Direct replacement for a failed
If the original gas spring has lost pressure or was never fitted, this kit restores the slow, hands-free opening action without modifying the vehicle. The upgrade is worthwhile when the tailgate currently falls fast enough to damage the latch or surrounding panels, or when one-person loading and unloading is needed. It does not add lift assist beyond the factory design, so buyers who want a powered lift or higher hold-open force will need a different solution.

Questions about this item
How much force does the gas strut exert when the tailgate is fully open?
The kit controls the drop rate so the gate opens slowly and safely, but the exact force rating is not supplied.
Does the package include every bracket and fastener needed for a bolt-on install?
Yes — the box contains the shock, top and bottom ball mount plates, one M6×1.0 bolt, a blind nut and the blind-nut installation tool.
Will this strut fit the factory mounting points on my 2007 Silverado 1500 without drilling?
It is a direct replacement for 2007-2018 Silverado and Sierra 1500, 2500 HD and 3500 HD models and installs with no drilling required.
