Tailgate Assist Kit for Ford F-150

This kit fits Ford F-150 models from 2004 to 2014 and Lincoln Mark LT from 2006 to 2008. It replaces a worn or broken strut so the tailgate opens slowly and closes without slamming. The package includes the shock, mounting hardware and the tools needed for installation. No drilling is required and the job takes only a few minutes.

Owners who want controlled tailgate motion

Drivers who struggle with a heavy tailgate dropping too fast will appreciate the regulated drop rate. The kit protects surrounding items from damage caused by a sudden slam. It is not suited for trucks outside the listed model years or for anyone needing a powered lift system. Buyers who want an OEM-branded part should look elsewhere.

Single strut with 23.5 cm cylinder

The 23.5 cm by 2 cm black metal strut uses a thickened carbon steel cylinder and stainless steel piston rod. All-metal end brackets and a shield cover resist dust and seal out moisture. The M6x1.0 thread and 11 mm hole diameter match the factory mounting points. One strut handles the tailgate weight; heavier aftermarket accessories may exceed its capacity.

Questions about this item

What tools do I need to install the gas strut kit on my Ford F-150?

The kit includes a T45 Torx wrench and a blind nut tool, so no additional tools are required for installation.

Will this strut work with the original tailgate hinges on my 2008 F-150?

Yes, it is a direct replacement designed to fit the existing mounting points on Ford F-150 models from 2004 to 2014.

How can I confirm the strut is controlling the tailgate drop correctly after fitting it?

Open the tailgate fully and release it; the gate should lower slowly and smoothly without slamming, indicating the strut is functioning properly.
