YouTube Video helped a lot with directions to install.
Size: 1Pcs
ECOTRIC 2-Sided Assist was delivered on time with all the parts needed to install. I looked up a YouTube video for installation of a Gorilla lift. I didn't need the written instructions after viewing the video. Total install took about one and a half hours. I used a hammer drill to pilot the holes with a 1/8" bit then used a step bit in the hammer drill to finish to 1/2". Both center holes fell inside a removable side pocket stake. I could access one bolt but the other one was totally hidden. I just spot welded the carriage bolt head inside the tube and hot melted the washer on the nut before trying to start it using a socket on a 3" extension. I replaced the supplied metric bolts with 3/4" long 5/16" carriage bolts and used lock nuts. The lift worked well and my test with the "S" hooks (supplied) went well. I intent to try the test location for a few days before attaching the cable gate bolts. I like the lift at this point and would buy it again. ... show more

Ease of use
Size: 1Pcs
Been using these for the past couple of weeks and I will say that it’s a whole lot easier to lift the ramp. The product is made of decent quality that gives the best value over more expensive options.

This Thing Saved My Back — Seriously Impressed!
Size: 1Pcs
I’m really happy with this ECOTRIC lift assist system. I installed it on my utility trailer, and it instantly made raising and lowering the tailgate way easier and safer. No more straining or wrestling with a heavy ramp — it practically floats up and down now. The setup took a little time (measure twice, drill once!), but once installed, it’s rock solid. The assist works smoothly and makes a huge difference, especially if you’re dealing with a tall or heavy gate. I’ve got mine on a 6-foot ramp with about 18" side rails, and it fits great. You can tell it’s built to last — sturdy hardware, solid feel, and handles my steel gate without breaking a sweat. The 400 lb capacity gives me peace of mind too. If you're loading mowers, ATVs, or heavy gear on the regular, this is a must-have upgrade. I should’ve bought one years ago! ... show more

Good value. Not very heavy duty.
Size: 1Pcs
This product works great and is a good value for the money. You definitely need to upgrade to the aluminum rollers for the cable guide. After approximately one month of use, the plastic rollers wore out. Decoded cable has already come apart but probably due to the plastic roller failure. I would suggest purchasing the aluminum cable rollers on Amazon for $17 to go with it! Also, there's no adjustment for cable tension or at least nothing easy ... show more

Buyer beware
Size: 1Pcs
Do not buy. The hardware that is comes with is inadequate and most of the bolts came out on first use. I replaced them with new bolts and nylok nuts, which lasted. But then after a couple of months, the cables broke. I spent more time working on it than I did using it. It now has a new home in the scrap metal pile. ... show more

Cheap price, name brand product equivalent.
Size: 1Pcs
All parts were accounted for. It was easy to install. Instructions are in English but it is jargon based. It is an intuitive process so trust your instincts if you don’t understand what it is saying. The box is heavy and the material seemed high quality and is staying in place. The manufacturer recommends putting a sealant in between the iron rods. I don’t have any, used flex seal clear. Works good. Will update with any problems. ... show more

Cable ends may fail!
Size: 1Pcs
I chose to go a less expensive product and, simple as this tailgate assist is, I regret my decision. I followed the instructions and found that I needed my cable anchor point on my tailgate near the limit of the cable an spring length. I was able to get the passengers side mounted, then moved to the drivers side. before I could get the drivers side connected, the passenger side cable released at the tailgate bolt. Finished the install on the drivers side and went to the hardware store to get some cable clamps. I disassembled the passenger side, removed the factory cable clamp and put two cable clamps on just to make sure it wouldn't fail again. I put everything back together and was pulling on the cable to get the bolt to the hole in the tailgate and the cable clamp failed on the spring end! Drivers side was still working fine. Disassembled everything again and used one cable clamp on the spring as I was afraid two might drag when raising and lowering the tailgate. Fished everything back through the channel, reassembled everything and attached the bolt to the tailgate. So far it is holding (in the raised position). The unit does help with raising and lowering the ramp, but still requires some effort (not going to raise or lower with two fingers like the name brand claims). If the cable clamps would have held, I would have given it four stars. After putting holes in my trailer, I don't want to return the item and buy a different brand that may not match up the holes already drilled. ... show more
