| Easy install, installed it in a 10 min work break. Definately well worth it. Must agree it's a tight fit, but never had any problems with it. |

| Best invention for the tail gate |
|
| Posted 5/6/2007 by lopaka |
| Purchased the EZ down tailgate on a weekend and received it in 3 working days and must say; I am very pleased with it, now I don't have to guide my tail gate down at all. All I do is open it and let it fall freely. Installation was a no brainer, just follow the instructions. I think all pick up trucks should have this as a standard equipment. |

|
| Posted 5/25/2007 by jrw113 |
| Bought one for my Ram. Product is great and installation was easy, BUT, Instructions didn't tell you what to do with shrink wrap sleeve and rubber tube. Had to view website video to confirm what I had guessed. Emailed company and was told the people copying instructions had messed up. Tail gate safety cable tries to pop out while closing. I am still getting one for my dad for his truck for Father's Day. |

| works sweet, just needs a better cable guide that self clamps without having to use cheesy zip ties and shrink wrap. That would give this product a 10+. |

| Excellent Concept BUT |
|
| Posted 6/3/2007 by rcolety |
| Installed on a 2005 Dodge Ram. Tight fit for both the cable and this device. Shrink wrap and sleeve is not working out as a solution from the cable jamming the cylinder and rear tail light. I feel it will break the light so I finally just took the cable out. The mounting pin on the tailgate is a bit cheezy - without the cable I now need to worry about this piece. Other than that it works great. Poor quaility installation instructions. |

| Installed on 2500HD - Works well, but ... |
|
| Posted 6/4/2007 by tklitzke |
| Photocopied instructions hard to read/see. The EZ Down for my Silverado doesn't have the quick disconnect (like the cables) as shown in the video(it is as shown in the printed catalog though). Apparently the Silverado's version doesn't come with the shrink tube either, but I haven't needed it. I also had to flip the positions of the cable the the EZ Down on the mounting bolt to keep the cable from catching on my gate. Also, the mounting bolt with nylock nut looks a bit cheesy as compared to the mounting pin shown in the video. However, it does work well as promised. I just wish I didn't have to unbolt that now to remove the tail gate. Apparently the Silverado's version isn't granted that quick disconnect feature or the nicer mounting OEM-look pin that the Ford version apparently has? It does serve its purpose well despite the minor gripes. I would recommend the product for safety and convenience. |

|
| Posted 6/7/2007 by buffalo |
| This product is great! I have dropped my tailgate quite a few times. The video really sells this item. Unfortunately the assistant was not in the box. He looked real handy. My wife filled in nicely though. |

| Cable wedging 95 Dodge tailgate |
|
| Posted 6/20/2007 by alamow |
| cable with the foam heat shrink, gets wedged and works its way behind the piston. when tailgate is opened, it prevents the tailgate from opening. If forced, in my case having the tail lense bezel,it will travel with the pistion side by side against the light lense, and break it. I unclip the piston and pull the foam and cable out. I've wraped several layers of electrical tape around the heat shrink to thicken it as to stop it from some how working its way behind the pistion when driving after a period of time. Outher wise a good control idea. |

| Posted 6/26/2007 by Rainmaker |
| What a piece of junk! The cable broke the tail light lens on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 the first time i opened it. The foam spacer is not the answer. The new lens cost more than your cheap product. To bad it was not tested better. |

| It's great that I can now open the tailgate on my Dodge Ram P/U and it lowers itself at a slow, steady rate. No more over-stressing the support cables or anchors. It was fairly easy to install; it took about 15 minutes or so. |

| Easy to install. Very nice to be able to open the tail gate with one hand. If I had to say anything negative... it makes for one more step to remove the tailgate because you have to back off one of the nuts. No big deal though. Now all they need is a remote control to release the tailgate hands free. That would be cool. |

| does what it says it will, keeps tailgate from falling and hitting something, someone or just plain ole yanking the cables too hard. only thing is they show it with a quick release on the piston which it doesn't have making tailgate removal require tools. also you need to train the cables to fit with it and by the time they get along with each other the sheath of the cable gets a little chewed up but that shouldn't affect its life or function. |

| Safer Tailgate Opening by All |
|
| Posted 11/4/2007 by 1derful6 |
| Now the tailgate on my 2004 Ram 1500 can be opened safely by anyone, thanks to the "EZ Down Tailgate Assist". Installation was a snap. Can be done by one person and it only took about 15-20 minutes. Well worth the price. |

| When I first saw this item online I was very skeptical because of the price. After installing this item, which mind you was a pleasure, I was sold. This is perfect if you have little kids especially if you let them play in the back of your truck. If they ever pull the lever while inside the truck it will lessen the jolt.CS65 |

|
| Posted 12/22/2007 by Old Salt |
| Ditto on all the above. Very nice. Only problem I had was I had to remove the left tail light on my F150. The bolt had alot of paint and a spot of the tack weld keeping it from backing out. Quick hit with a little file and out it came. Tail gate has a air brush painting on it and now it comes down real easy with out the bang if the handle slips. Can I give it 6 stars. |

| Eliminating tailgate cable from falling behind the assist shock |
|
| Posted 12/23/2007 by trbodzzl |
| This is a great product but the manufacturer needs to include a a large piece of shrink wrap in the kit to eliminate tailgate cable from falling behind power assist shock. I took a large piece of shrink wrap and lined the shock with it and it eliminated this problem and looks nice to. |
