DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

  • Factory Silverado and Sierra tailgates can be surprisingly heavy — especially on HD models — and repeated hard drops put real stress on hinges, cables, and mounting points.
  • The Trucktok Tailgate Assist Shock Kit adds controlled lowering so the tailgate glides down smoothly and predictably, whether you're unloading at the jobsite or loading gear for the weekend.
  • Engineered for Silverado and Sierra platforms with vehicle-specific mounting hardware, every kit installs cleanly and works with your original tailgate system.

Key Features

  • Transforms an abrupt tailgate drop into a controlled, predictable lowering action.
  • Specifically tuned for the larger, heavier tailgates found on 2500HD and 3500HD trucks.
  • Open the tailgate with one hand while carrying tools, materials, or cargo.
  • Includes a nutsert mounting system and installation tool for a solid, reliable fit (2007–2019 HD and 2020–2024 HD kits).
  • A protective Mylar sheet helps prevent scratches and paint damage during installation.
  • High-strength steel hardware built for years of reliable service.

FAQ

Q: How do I know if I have a 2007 Classic model?

A: The 2007 Classic uses the previous-generation Silverado/Sierra body style carried over into early 2007 production. If your truck is the newer redesigned 2007 body style, choose the 2007–2018 option instead — the Classic kit will not fit.

Q: Is this designed for heavy-duty tailgates?

A: Yes. The 2500HD/3500HD kits are engineered to handle the larger, heavier tailgates found on HD trucks, while the 1500 kits are tuned for standard half-ton tailgates.

Q: What is the difference between Silverado 1500 and Silverado 1500 LD?

A: The Silverado 1500 LD is an older body style continuation model with a different tailgate mounting design. The 2019–2024 kit is designed only for the new 2019+ body style.

Q: What does the included nutsert do?

A: The nutsert creates a secure mounting location for the assist system and provides long-term installation stability on the kits that require it.

Q: Does installation require welding or drilling?

A: No. Every kit is bolt-on and includes the required hardware — no welding or drilling required.
