With Orion Motor Tech's heavy-duty truck tailgate assist, you won't need to hear that loud "thud". This tailgate shock assist safely controls the descent and makes raising your pickup tailgate much easier, lowering your effort, saving your ears, and extending the service life of your tailgate and truck bed's other parts. Made of structural-grade 45# carbon steel, our tailgate shock boasts incredible strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Unlike its easily broken welded counterparts on the market.
