Nice tailgate assist
Put this on my 2017 Ram 2500 and it has been working great. It was easy to install and so far seems to be working great. Made a nice little upgrade to my tailgate. Haven’t had any issues with it.

Get you one of these.
I love this thing. It installs fairly easy and it works amazing. It's been on the truck about 6 months now and I use the tailgate almost every day. One knock in the reviews says the stud pulls out but I didn't have any problem with that. Looks really cool when it just eases down instead of banging.

Works great in my 2020 ram 2500
Installed this tailgate assist on my 2020 Ram 2500 and it’s been working great so far. It makes a noticeable difference when lowering the tailgate. No more heavy drops, just a smooth and controlled motion. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because a few of the parts included weren’t clearly mentioned in the instructions. That said, the install was still pretty straightforward, and I was able to figure everything out without any real issues. Overall, it feels well made, does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and is a great upgrade for the truck. If the instructions were a bit clearer, this would easily be a 5‑star product. I’d still recommend it anyone that is looking for one.

Don’t buy waste of money
Don’t buy complete waste of money. Gas shock comes off every time I use the tailgate. I gave up putting it back on because it keeps coming off. Zero support, poor quality, Im throwing it in the trash it’s unusable. Totally waste of money don’t waste yours. Unable to return I’ve already thrown the box away because two parts are mounted on my truck not worth the headache to return.

Fits 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7 Hemi
The photos in the manual are washed out B&W print. So it's pretty useless. I saw a couple videos on YouTube, however changes were made to improve durability. I'll include some pics to assist. May take and hour or so depend on your vehicle. It's only been a couple weeks, so we'll see how it goes.

Definitely buy again.
Works great on my Ram 2500 tailgate, no more it dropping like a hammer.

Spacer broke
Thing works great as it should but the instructions did not match what was in the box. Looks like they updated the kit to have a plate for the tailgate instead of the ball mount bolt that is shown in the instructions. Tools some common sense to figure it out. Also the plastic spacer for the tailgate catch cable broke when trying to install as well tore the rubber insulation off the cable. Spacer is suppose to prevent the cable from getting stuck behind the strut but it still gets stuck.

Amazing Upgrade for My 2009-2022 Vehicle!
I recently purchased the Orion Motor Tech compatible part for my 09-22 vehicle, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Installation was straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions provided. The quality of the materials is top-notch, and it feels very durable. I've noticed a significant improvement in my vehicle's performance and handling since installing this part. What I love the most is that it fits perfectly, just as advertised. It's great to see that Orion Motor Tech has taken the time to ensure compatibility across a wide range of models. The customer support was also very responsive and helpful when I had a few questions before making my purchase. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. It's a fantastic investment that delivers excellent results!

Shock absorber,is too strong.
It holds the tailgate too long, it shoud be a lighter shock absorber, the bolt that hold it bent after a month, too much pressure
