Works Great
been using this on my ram for 2 years now. no issues, still holding pressure and soft opening is great still. mounts haven't rusted or corroded a bit and was easy to install. would recommend for a nice priced soft open option!

Additional Tools Needed for Install
Additional tools you’ll need for the install are a 5mm Allen Key & 10mm wrench. I started using a crescent wrench but discovered I had a 10mm wrench on-hand from a furniture order. Using a set 10mm wrench was better than using the crescent wrench.Installing the nut onto the tailgate was a little confusing at first because it comes with with an assembly housing. I’d compare it to installing a dry wall anchor…install the anchor first then you can screw into the anchor. The same idea/concept is used to install the lower knob for the shock.Install time took about 25-30min. I had never installed a tailgate shock before tho.The price point of $17.99 helped me pick this item. Time will tell if it holds up.

The support you need. Update.
This is the second one that I've installed and it really makes a difference with decreasing the weight of your tailgate. The first one that I had, the ball connection on the tailgate broke off so I couldn't get the residual screw-in insert out of the hole in the tailgate. I went ahead and installed this one on the right side without issue. I did notice that on the right side of my tailgate pivot point, I can actually tilt tailgate out of the joint (from right side) and remove the entire tailgate. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to remove this shock so I'm probably stuck with NEVER removing my tailgate from the vehicle. This is OK because in the 7 years I've had the truck I've never removed it anyway.Update: 4/22So this failed a week ago and due to the holiday, I missed the return policy. It lasted about a month and broke apart under normal usage. I NEED A REPLACEMENT!!
