Ford Ranger (2012 - 2022) Tail Gate Easy Down Shock
- Consists of 1 gas strut and mounting hardware
A tailgate easy-down system is a practical automotive accessory designed to make lowering a vehicle’s tailgate smoother, safer, and more convenient. This mechanism is particularly useful for pickups and bakkies, where the tailgate can be heavy and difficult to control when opening.
The system typically consists of a gas strut or a dampening shock absorber that slows the tailgate's descent. Once the tailgate is released, the easy-down mechanism ensures it lowers gradually instead of dropping quickly. This not only prevents potential injuries from an uncontrolled tailgate but also reduces stress on the tailgate's hinges and latch system, prolonging their lifespan.
Installing a tailgate easy-down kit is relatively straightforward and often requires only basic tools. Most kits are designed to be vehicle-specific, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration. The installation process usually involves attaching the strut to pre-existing mounting points on the tailgate and the truck bed, eliminating the need for modifications.
In addition to its functional benefits, a tailgate easy-down system adds a touch of convenience, making it easier to load and unload items, especially when your hands are full. It is an excellent upgrade for anyone seeking to enhance the usability of their truck, whether for work, recreational activities, or daily errands.
Durable and built to withstand tough conditions, tailgate easy-down systems offer a combination of safety, convenience, and durability, making them a valuable addition to any pickup truck.
