DESCRIPTION Product Overview The Trucktok Tailgate Assist Shock Kit provides a smooth, controlled lowering motion that reduces stress on factory cables, hinges, and tailgate components. Designed specifically for 2004-2014 Ford F-150 and 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT models, this bolt-on upgrade installs using factory mounting locations without drilling. Whether you're loading tools, gear, or groceries, the controlled descent adds convenience while helping protect your truck from unnecessary wear. Key Features Slows your tailgate's descent with a smooth, controlled motion to prevent sudden drops and loud slams. Utilizes existing factory mounting points and OEM bolts for a true bolt-on installation. Built from premium, high-strength steel components for long-lasting durability. Eliminates harsh impact during opening, significantly reducing strain on your factory cables, hinge points, and tailgate pivots. FAQ Q: How do I know if I have a Flareside or Stepside truck? A: Flareside/Stepside models have an external rear fender with a narrower bed. If your truck has a standard fleet-side bed, this kit will fit. Check your bed style before ordering. Q: Will I need to drill any holes? A: No. This is a true bolt-on upgrade that uses existing factory mounting points and OEM bolts — no drilling required. Q: Does the tailgate still open normally? A: Yes. The tailgate functions exactly as designed — the assist shock simply slows and controls the tailgate’s descent after release, reducing strain on factory cables, hinges, and pivot points. Q: Why is a tailgate assist especially useful on 2004-2014 F-150 trucks? A: The factory tailgate can drop quickly when opened, creating impact on cables, hinges, and pivot points. A tailgate assist helps provide a smoother lowering motion while reducing repeated stress on factory components. Q: Need a tailgate assist for a newer F-150 or a Super Duty? A: For 2015-2025 F-150, we carry a direct-fit tailgate assist kit. For Super Duty F-250/F-350/F-450, check out our 2017-2024 Super Duty kit.
