FAQ

What is a tailgate helper?
A tailgate helper (or tailgate assist) is a device that controls the speed and ease of your tailgate’s movement—helping it lower smoothly and, in some cases, lift with less effort.

What types of tailgate aids do you offer?
We offer gas strut dampers, shock absorber kits, torsion bars, and helper springs. Some kits slow the descent, while others also assist with lifting the tailgate back up.

Are tailgate helpers specific to my truck model?
Most tailgate assists are vehicle-specific to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function. Please check product listings for compatibility or ask our team for personalized recommendations.

Is installation easy?
Yes! Most kits are designed for bolt-on installation using standard hand tools, often requiring no drilling. Complete step-by-step instructions are included with every kit.

Will a tailgate helper work with my tonneau cover or bed accessories?
Most assists are compatible with tonneau covers, bed liners, and other popular accessories, but always verify compatibility in the product description or reach out to our team if your truck is heavily modified.

Can I install a tailgate helper on an older truck or a truck that’s already been repaired?
In many cases, yes. We offer universal and vehicle-specific solutions, some of which are flexible for older or professionally repaired tailgates. Let us know your setup for the best recommendation.

What if my tailgate helper arrives damaged or doesn’t fit?
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. Contact us within 7 days if you have any issues, and we’ll arrange a prompt replacement, exchange, or refund.
