I bought a deezee tailgate assist on amazon for 30 bucks and I put it on today, took about 10 minutes.

 

I did the same thing and I LOVE IT

 

Me too. Great mod!

 

Thanks for the photos!

I actually have a short video of the tailgate assist in operation, but the photobucket app on my phone is not cooperating.

 

I installed one last week. Instructions say it should take 9, 360 degree turns to get the threaded insert tight, took a whole lot more than that for me. Anybody else experience this?

 

I had the same problem, I just kept turning the nut until it felt tight to me.

 

great mod I have hade one on every truck I have owned since I found out about the EZ down!

 

Where is the best place to get this from? I would like to get one. Thanks

 

I bought mine from amazon. $29.99 is what I paid. The model number for the 04-14 f150's is # DZ43200

 

I went the eBay route, $29.95 with free shipping.

 

Got mine here on ebay (2004-2011) version. Check for the 2013 one.

Thanks guys. Just ordered one. :-)

 

Is this thing to let it go down slowly? That would be nice. When other people drop my tailgate, they just unlatch it and let it drop. I always let mine down slowly.
These gates are plenty light and thin enough that lifting them is not a big deal. My old 72 chev has a tailgate with some serious weight.

 

Yes, that's exactly what it does.
