Tailgate Assist

[robertbick]

My Silverado has the EZ lift tailgate option but I would like to add something that stops the tailgate from dropping so fast. Has anyone put something like this on their tailgate?

Give the Search button a try. Several members have these and have given their reviews of them. Almost everything you can think to ask will have been discussed at least once here already.

I have the EZ Down and it works well. I think it makes the truck feel more refined. As a matter of fact, I have two. One of them is an extra (don't ask). If you, or anybody, would like to purchase it I'd cut you a deal. Just pm me.

 

btw: It is for the 2007 2008 NBS chevy or gmc. Part # 43101 and it is NEW.

 

EDIT: ITEM IS SOLD!

Ditto. People think it's a Chevy option.

That's really Cool. I might consider getting a set of these. I just hazard to think of the day my son opens the gate and it could accidentally fall on him...

 

Cool!

A half a set would be enough. One cylinder mounts on one side.

...and this will work with the stock eZ lift mechanism already on my truck?

All of my trucks going back to a 1951 Studebaker have had the option of variable speed tailgate lowering and raising. Never saw a truck without it. If you're paying extra you're being ripped off. And to the wuss who talked about "refined" --- hey, it's a TRUCK, not a jewelry chest!

Huh??? Your truck in your sig doesn't have it unless you paid extra for it. ...and join the wuss club with your refined LTZ Silverado.

Cool! They had tail gate assist before the introduction of oil filters, turn signals, electric windshield wipers, automatic chokes, and cartridge air filters. And as standard equipment.

My guess is that his form of "variable speed tailgate lowering and raising" is hand-controlled. "You want to open it slow, you open it slow.. You want to close it fast, you close it fast.. with your hand." I could be wrong, though...
