The Dee Zee DZ43301 Tailgate Assist is one of those simple add-ons that makes a huge difference in everyday use. Installation was fast and straightforward—no drilling, no weird adjustments, and the improved nutsert with thread lock is ready right out of the box. Once installed, the tailgate drops in a smooth, controlled motion with just one hand. No more sudden slam or worrying about the weight, and it really takes the stress off the cables and hinges. It feels solid, well-made, and built to handle regular use for years. For the price, this is an excellent upgrade that adds convenience and protects the truck at the same time. If you own a compatible Ram, this is absolutely worth it.
