Who has easy down shocks for tailgate?

I saw these the other day and was hoping to get a review from here.
So who has them and how do they work? Are they worth it?

Thanks

Yes, Worth every penny. Works great and comes in handy when your arms are full of stuff and need to open the tailgate. Plus it adds a cool "ahhh" factor. I think I have some pics of it in my gallery.

Added Mine a Week Ago

Love it so far. Just a flip of the handle and step back. It opens so nicely. Also for the wife, she can open it without it jerking her arm out. Yes, cool factor too. It was easy to install even in 30 degree weather. Took about 10 minutes. Now for the ultimate cool factor, someone on the forum added an auto open tailgate lock. Touch the open button on the remote and it unlocks and opens. That was too much for me to get into though.

I can understand this for older Fords and all of the other brands but 2004+ (NBS)Fords are 1 finger open and close from the factory. What is the advantage?
