Yea you probably don’t need this but it is a nice upgrade I know I have dropped my tail gate a few times on accident thanks for watching I appreciate it
I think a template would help out a lot. I installed mine and the left side of the tailgate isn’t flush anymore with the taillight. 😅Probably less than half an inch. I’m guessing I didn’t drill the hole properly. And also mine drops kinda fast like in 2 seconds compared to yours. Nice video though bro 🤙🏽
Yea that’s not the first time I got a comment just like this saying almost the exact same thing crazy thanks for sharing and watching bro I appreciate it
I just installed mine and it goes down twice as fast. Wondering if it’s a cheaper cylinder because it doesn’t say LS Fab on the side of it. Hoping I didn’t pay $70 and wait on customs for something I could have had for $30 on prime
Yea I have heard this before but I do know I have the old style 1 that’s larger in size and they now have a slim version which I haven’t had a chance to buy since they are up in price….. thanks for the comment
Been wanting to buy this for my truck . I thought these came with two shocks for both sides. Wonder if u can put two of them on a tailgate or if that’s even necessary.
Yea I was confused at first as well I thought there would be 2 shocks but no 1 works perfect I think 2 would go down too slow but I don’t know thanks for watching I appreciate it
Hello brother, I watched your video..pretty cool amazing stuff, so I had to go order me one..weeks later it had arrived and I installed it just like in your video and instructions..but for some reason when I open t drop the tailgate..it doesn't drop slow like in your video..Mines drops in 1-2 sec and yours drops 4-5 seconds ..would it be that the one they had sent me was defective..should I return it for añother one
Hey bro first thank you for watching my video and to answer your question I now know that LS fab offers a new gen 2 strut which is smaller and slimmer the 1 I installed is the old big first gen …. Do you know which one you have ?
That's what I was noticing..that the one I ordered came out to be a slinky one (slim)..I thought I had ordered the right one like the one of your video, but I guess I didn't or didn't know the difference..When I looked again they had one for a GMC model..Mines a c1500 Silverado..iwanted the stubby one..How do I order the one you ordered..do you have the link on your page
The one I ordered was the one in your linked..Tailgate saver shock (strut) - 88 98 GMC Chevy Truck for price $64.99..And the Gen 2 is the slim one that is 15.3mm ..But I aslo noticed they both have the same Dimensions 25×15×6cm ..Do you think they confused me with the Gen 2 one.The Gen 1 bigger one is 18.3mm
Good point on the template. Helps results stay consistent across different skill levels and makes the install that much easier too.
I agree bro thanks for the comment I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way thanks for watching as always bro 👊🏼
Chingon compa 💯
Thank you bro 👊🏼
I'm pretty sure that I can probably do without this. Never needed one in the last 50 years anyway. I think I might just get one!

Sorry my Tahoe has barn doors

How about the model for 1999-2007 they can install on 1989
I think that 1 is different might be bigger and a different mounting hardware I’m not sure
@LowLifeYonkes It's much cheaper, that's why I asked.
@@Noeolivs yea then I would assume that it’s different and I also know they offer a new version slim I think and it makes the tail gate drop faster

@@kr1ck3t81g I would call them and ask and see if there is a difference
Just got mine in the mail. Didn't get a sticker...pretty bummed out now 😂
😂 that’s funny

Thanks bro 👊🏼
Drilling ok this must be the wrong tailgate asst.the other one i saw there no Drilling
No it’s the right 1 from this company there are other manufacturers that make them differently you might be thinking of 1 of those
