In this video, I will show you how to install a tailgate assist kit. Typically when you open your tailgate, it just falls down and slams which jars your entire truck. This kit allows your tailgate to open smoothly and softly to the fullest open position. Essentially it is like a tailgate soft opener. Made in the USA by JC Custom metal fabrication.

I dont think my comment went through regarding a obs bronco assist, but the site is called gerber design solutions. It mount alittle differently and doesn't require a rivnut to mount either. Hope this helps all the obs Bronco owners especially if your tortion bar bracket broke like mines oof
Hummmm wonder if you upgrade to a bigger shock can it be used on OBS Broncos if it fit under the wiring harness
love what you did there and i remember you had changed out your tail gate at one time. would you recommend this with the original tail gate as heavy as it is? it looks like that shock would wear out quite fast.
Would this work for a Bronco as well?
Great Video! FYI, you can remove that rubber bumper from the inside if you take the taillight off, it's just a couple screws.
Awesome video!! Thanks again!
Definitely ordering one.
What is the tire size ?, can fits to manufacture stander ring ?
I need a new latch, have to fanagle it to get it to stay open so i can close the tailgate.
The starters aren’t to bad on it. Thanks for the simple video.
