Just ok
The installation bolt and nut are very cheap and stripped almost immediately. Couldn't finish installation properly. Edit: Contacted company. They sent me a replacement unit. Installation was perfect this time and product works great

Get it you'll be happy, so will your truck
Easy install, works as intended. Have to get use to it, tailgate always slammed down before but not now, just a smooth gentle lowering.

Doesn't work on an Avalanche, sadly
I bought this product on a whim knowing that a 2013 Avalanche wasnโt specifically listed in the fitment details. It installed easy but the shaft isn't long enough (that's what she said?) to let the tailgate come completely down. Other than that, it operates very nicely and lowers the tailgate slowly and smoothly. The install was super easy and the rivnut thing holds very well. I might do an additional mod and move the upper plate down a bit to see if that helps but I'm not disappointed with the overall product. Great purchase that should be a factory item.

Easy and Works!
It took all of 10 minutes to install and works like it should. The first 7 minutes was just getting the hidden nut part down. I'd buy again.

Worth the investment!
Very easy to install, instructions are very straight forward. Works like a dream on my 09 gmc sierra. I will definitely be buying another kit for my other vehicle. Very smooth action coming down.

Fast delivery and install
Delivery was quick within 1 day. Installation was quite simple and installed in 10 minutes,only installed a day ago but works flawlessly so far, tailgate came down nice and smooth and quiet as well. I think I went overboard ABIT and installed one on each side so it could last longer. Only designed to fit the left side but works on the right as well. So far so good.
