Tailgate cable and hinge replacement at a Ford dealer typically runs $400–$800.

5-minute install — no drilling, no mechanic, no special tools
Select your exact truck model below — we ship the correct fitment version.
Install TruckEdge. Use it for 60 days. If your tailgate doesn't drop visibly smoother — or if you just don't like the way it feels — send it back.
Installed it in under 10 minutes. The tailgate now drops slowly and feels way more premium. No more loud slams. Should’ve come stock from Ford.
Safely control the drop rate of your truck's tailgate with this heavy-duty assist shock. Designed specifically for the Ford F-150/250/350, it prevents dangerous slamming and extends the lifespan of your vehicle's components.
Question 1: Is drilling required to install this product?
Answer 1: No, this item is designed for a completely bolt-on installation that utilizes the existing mounting points on your truck, requiring no drilling or modification to the vehicle.
Question 2: Do I need to install a shock on both sides of the tailgate?
Answer 2: No, a single unit installed on the driver's side is sufficient to safely and effectively control the drop rate of the tailgate.
Question 3: Does this assist help with lifting the tailgate to close it?
Answer 3: This shock is specifically engineered to dampen the opening speed to prevent slamming; it does not provide spring assistance for lifting the tailgate back to the closed position.
