FAQ

Q: Will this fit my 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn?

A: Yes. The 2009–2018 kit is designed for all Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models of that generation, including Big Horn, Laramie, Tradesman, and every other trim.

Q: What does the included cable clip do?

A: It keeps the factory tailgate cables properly positioned during operation and reduces the chance of cable pinching, tangling, or unnecessary wear.

Q: Does this replace my factory tailgate cables?

A: No. The assist works alongside your factory tailgate support system and does not replace the original cables.

Q: Do I need to drill any holes?

A: No. Every kit installs using factory mounting locations and included hardware — no drilling needed.

Q: Does the 2019–2025 kit fit the Ram 1500 Classic?

A: No. The 2019–2025 kit is for the new-generation Ram 1500 only. If you have the Ram 1500 Classic (the carryover body style), choose the 2009–2018 option instead.
