How do I prevent this from happening?** A: There is a sweet spot to adjust the distance of the hydraulic. My truck was approximately 5 inches from the top end.

This tailgate assist kit needs to be mounted to the driver's side. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by on Reviewed in the United States September 7, 2026* 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 *by on Reviewed in the United States October 17, 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to install. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 20, 2026* It works perfect. It was easy to install. The directions could have been a little more explanatory but over all it was pretty easy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orion Motor Tech Truck Tailgate Assist, Pickup Tailgate Lift Assist Kit, Truck Accessory Compatible with 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 - Diesel Fuel Cap for Dodge Ram, Aluminum Factory Combo Pack - Magnetic Diesel Fuel Cap & DEF Cap for RAM 1500 2500 3500 Trucks (2013-2019) - Xpismii 12 Piece 6000K White Ram Interior LED Light Kit Package Replacement for 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500, with Placement Diagram and Install Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/280582435-omt-tailgate-assist-shock-compatible-with-09-26-ram-1500](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/280582435-omt-tailgate-assist-shock-compatible-with-09-26-ram-1500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
