What an awesome product this is! AND.. with an install hack we were able to modify this Gorilla tailgate lift assist install so that we are only using one of the pair, to save money, and it is not a 'one finger' lift of this very heavy trailer tailgate! And of course it will have the usual shop talk and banter from me and my buddy as we work through this Gorilla tailgate lift assist install and review! Here is the Rhino USA UTV wheel chock install and review video that I referenced today: • Rhino UTV wheel chock ...

They definitely work, I got them on mine. I used both and it works perfectly using the instruction installation guide . I can take my foot and pick it up and the spring brings it right up to my hands.

I have arthritis in my shoulders and I put those on my trailer 5 years ago. made a big difference in lifting that 4 ft gate. only thing I had to do was change the spring setting.

Joe I had a trailer like that and always thought there needed to be something like that for the gate and even ramps on a heavy trailer. Just a thought, by only using one, will it wear out the spring faster than it should? Think changing just one spring on the old style garage doors. Ever had a spring break on the old style garage doors, not knowing any better, I only changed the one spring that broke. Big mistake. Thankfully when it went flying off I did not get hit or it did not hit truck or bust out windows in garage door. That will be a huge back saver. ❤️.

Life is all an experiment! Not sure if it will wear out the spring over time, but I really don't think so. They are literally like garage door springs! I think it is a double success like this though! Thanks

what happens if I want to lay my gate inside down flat?

@spencerrobertson4715 7 ай бұрын

You wouldn't be able to. You'd have to disconnect the bolt from the gate

Can this be used on a wood sided trailer

@kapperoutdoors Жыл бұрын

I don't see why not as long as it has a stout enough frame, like 2x4's.

Love that idea! Heck, instead of giving it to Phil I could have done that too!!

Tim they make a lift to take off a hot tub cover. It was a huge time and back saver.

Old Phil should charge you a couple hundred for installation (each side) then he could buy his own, capitalism at its best 😉 😄😆🤣
