Installed Ez Down Tailgate Damper.

Heysdad · November 16, 2007

Hey guys I just got done installing a EZ Down tailgate damper and it's awesome. This is the web site http://www.ezdown.com/

Has anyone else here installed one yet? My friend had one and when I saw it I knew I needed one....LOL.

It installed in about 20 mins. They just came out with the one for the GM 07-08 NBS.

I just need to get my grill on next. That looks like that's going to be a much larger job.

You didn't get the power gate? Jus kiddn. Mine EZDown was made by DEEZEE. Works great, and everyone thinks Chevy put it on there. And MS3DALE it has no adverse effect on the EZLift gate, kind of a checkvalve type thing, like a regular shock absorber.

Yea...What he said....LOL

It is a valving thing. When you pull on it, it is hard to open, but when you push on it, it's very easy.

I'm with you, I don't know why this is not a stock item. What a great idea....

We were at Home Depot and there was a guy there with a NBS. He saw me open my tailgate to put some stuff in.

When got over to his truck, he opened his tailgate and it just dropped with a bang. He asked me why mine goes down like that.....I told him "Yea they all do that...What yours is different???? He said "yea"....I pointed to the hole on the side of the tailgate and told him they must have forgot to put his on....LOL...LOL

I'm so bad... .I'm sure he's going to the dealer on Monday and raise hell about not getting one.

Hey MS3DALE, do you know if the EZ Lift spring or springs can be adapted to a non NBS EZ Lift tailgate?

Now, all we need is a way to remote-release the tailgate...

VMax2007 · November 17, 2007

Would you ladies care for anything else?

Remote tailgates, EZ Down, EZ Lift....I suppose you would like a Massengill dispenser built in too huh? LOL

J/K Guys, but c'mon, you sure you want a truck and not a Minivan or little SUV?

I like the "bang" my tailgate makes when I drop it, especially after hearing about the light, wimpy Tundra Tinfoil tailgates. Everytime I drop mine I will get a little smile on my face thinking about those sorry fools.

Carry on (pun intended).

For $70, that sounds like a great add-on.

You mean add the EZ-lift torsion bar? No,You would have to buy a new tailgate with it already in it.

I have to agree. I have the mind set of making and keeping my truck a truck. Plus IMO that is just one more useless add-on to have to replace after it breaks. I have a free solution for the tailgate not making that noise, don't drop it, ease it down.
