DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

  • The Trucktok Tailgate Assist Shock Kit adds a smooth, controlled lowering motion that improves convenience and helps eliminate the sudden drop common on factory tailgates.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. This kit is designed for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 models, including Big Horn, Laramie, Tradesman, and all other trim levels.

Q: What does the included cable clip do? 

A: The cable clip helps keep factory tailgate cables properly positioned during operation and helps reduce the chance of cable interference when opening or closing the tailgate.

Q: Does this replace my factory tailgate cables? 

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

Q: Do I need to drill any holes? 

A: No. The system is designed to install using factory mounting locations and included hardware — no drilling needed.

Q: Need a tailgate assist for an older Ram or the newer 1500? 

A: For 2003-2008 Ram 1500 and 2003-2009 Ram 2500/3500, we carry an earlier-generation Ram kit. For 2019-2025 Ram 1500, check out our newer-generation Ram 1500 kit.
