In todays video I’m going to be installing an aftermarket tailgate assist shock from Orion motor tech (OMT) to my 03 Silverado!!
Tailgate assist shock: amzn.to/44eKmGP
(Note: this link is for the (03-07(classic) Silverado. OMT makes the shocks for a lot on different trucks so if you have a different truck you will need to verify fitment!)

Got one for father's day. Not this kit but, the set up works and went on w/o issue. The video's on line are definatley better than the printed 'instructions.'

Just replaced these for my glass lift for $20 a pair and tailgate lifts for $14 a pair through eBay for my 02 ZR2 blazer, they work extremely well, that support is perfect for the tailgates👍

Thanks for the how-to video. Just bought this and about to put on myself. Also noticed that in the bottom left of your tailgate it says Elizabethtown Kentucky. That's where I was born and where my family is. Pretty cool. Pretty small world. All my best to you and yours.

Hey bud, appreciate the video! Looking at the exact same brand right now, any long-term issues to report a couple years down the road now?

Does it lighten the tailgate to make closing easier? My old 93 F250 tailgate weighs as much as the entire bed dead on my Tundra

@ZPTVChannel Жыл бұрын

It made mine a little bit heavier due to the resistance of the cylinder..

I’m sure they make one for it! I would just look up tundra tailgate assist and I’m sure it’ll pop up!
