The slam you ignore today is the repair bill you pay next year

Every hard drop hammers your tailgate's cables and hinges. RAM tailgates are heavy — and the repair runs $600–$800 at the dealer. A gas strut stops the damage for a fraction of that.

✖ Tailgate crashes down the second you pop it

✔ Gas strut lowers it slow and controlled

✖ Cables fray and snap from years of hard drops

✔ Strut absorbs the force — cables last

✖ $600–$800 dealer repair when hinges give out

✔ One $55 part prevents the whole bill

On your truck in 5 minutes

  1. 1Bolt the bracket to the existing holes — no drilling.
  2. 2Clip the gas strut onto both ball mounts.
  3. 3Drop the tailgate once. Feel the difference.

One strut on the driver's side is all it takes. Basic hand tools only.

Super easy install and works exactly as described. I use my RAM daily for work and this makes a big difference. Highly recommend.

Such a simple upgrade but it completely changes how the tailgate feels. Smooth, quiet, and solid. Zero issues even in cold weather.
Daniel P. – California2020 RAM 1500✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★
Great quality for the price. Everything needed was included in the box. Once you use it, you'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner.
Ryan T. – Manitoba2015 RAM 2500✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★
Wasn't sure it would fit my 2021 but it bolted right on in ten minutes. Drops slow and quiet now. Should've come from the factory like this.
Marcus D. – Ohio2021 RAM 1500✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★
Installed it in under 10 minutes. The tailgate drops slowly and feels way more premium. No more loud slams.
Mike R. – Oregon2016 RAM 1500✓ Verified buyer
★★★★★
Put one on my 2500 for the farm. Gate used to slam hard enough to scare the dogs. Not anymore.

Common questions

Will this fit my RAM?

Yes — it's custom-fit for 2009–2024 RAM 1500, 2500 and 3500. Pick your exact model and year in the selector and we ship the matching version. If anything doesn't line up, our 60-day guarantee covers you completely.

I have a 2019–2024 RAM. Is this really compatible?

Yes — we stock a dedicated version for the 2019–2024 body style. Choose it in the selector and the correct kit ships to your door.

Do I need a strut on both sides?

No — a single unit on the driver's side safely controls the drop rate of the whole tailgate.

Does it help lift the tailgate closed?

It dampens the opening speed to prevent slamming; it doesn't add lift assistance for closing.

Can it handle harsh weather and daily work use?

Yes — the high-pressure strut is tested for thousands of cycles from freezing winters to scorching summers.

What's the return policy?

60 days, 'Smoother or It's Free.' Full refund, we pay return shipping, no restocking fee, no fine print.

Stop the slam. Protect your RAM.

A 5-minute, no-drill upgrade that saves your hinges, your cables and your ears — covered by our 60-day guarantee.
