  • Great product
Size: OMT-43301
One of the best things I’ve done to my truck didn’t like the tailgate slamming down. Now it goes down nice and slow came with everything needed to install took me about 15 minutes

  • Fitment issiue
Size: OMT-43301
I bought this a while ago, and I finally got around to installing it. Everything went smoothly; the directions are clear they also have a video on YouTube. The only disappointment was that the tailgate doesn't close properly. The fix was to remove the rubber bracket attached to the bed.

  • 5-star Customer Service
Size: OMT-43301
I don’t do many reviews, but this product and company is great. For the price, and ease of installation, it’s worth it. I did have a slight issue where the shock retaining clip seems ‘sloppy’.. so I contacted the company directly in hopes that I could get a replacement clip. They responded promptly and offered to send a whole new shock! Within 1-2 days it was resolved and a new shock is on its way. Very happy customer. ... show more

  • Good product, bad instructions
Size: OMT-43301
Works well, everything fit but, instructions suck. They changed a part that’s not listed so you think your missing a piece when your not. But it does functionally work well and easy to install.

  • Works good f-the negative reviews lol
Size: OMT-43301
Works great for me. Idk what all these other people are complaining about? I read some bad reviews and almost didn't buy it. Only tricky part about it. It getting the plastic thing on the cable in the correct spot to keep it from binding when closing, but once you figure that out it works like it should. No complaints here!! ... show more

  • Garbage. do not buy this. Pay more for a better unit
Size: OMT-43301
lasted until 2 days after the return window closed. This was a complete POS. I had a similar shock absorber system that lasted 8 years. This one lasted a month and 2 days. It looks nice, but the cylinder was weak and continually didn't engage until the tailgate was about half way down. So eventually it snapped off the attachment point on the box. Yes, my fault for not sending it back immediately. ... show more
