DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- When your hands are full with heavy power tools, lumber, or camping gear, the last thing you need is a heavy steel tailgate dropping like an anvil.
- The Seguler Tailgate Assist Damper System catches that sudden weight for you. By adding a dedicated nitrogen-charged hydraulic strut to your 2007–2018 Silverado or Sierra bed hinge, this kit replaces violent metal-on-metal crashes with a soft, effortless glide down. It eliminates painful wrist jarring, prevents factory cable snapping, and keeps kids and pets safe when working around the back of your truck.
Key Features
- Converts a sudden drop into a controlled, predictable lowering action.
- Purpose-built for the bigger, heavier tailgates on 2500HD and 3500HD trucks.
- Lets you open the gate without both hands — even when you’re carrying tools, materials, equipment, or cargo.
- Includes a nutsert system and install tool for a mounting point that stays solid and reliable.
- A protective Mylar sheet cuts down the risk of scratches during install.
FAQ
Q: Can it handle heavy-duty tailgates?
A: Yes. It’s tuned to manage the weight of a standard 1500 gate or the bigger HD tailgates on 2500HD and 3500HD trucks.
Q: Is there any welding or drilling involved?
A: No. It’s a bolt-on kit that includes the hardware you need — no welding or drilling.
Q: Will it get in the way of a tonneau cover or other bed accessories?
A: Usually not. The shock lives inside the bed area and is meant to keep normal tailgate operation. Fit can vary with aftermarket accessories.
Q: Need one for a Classic Silverado/Sierra or the newer 1500?
A: For the 1999-2007 Classic Silverado and Sierra (including the 2007 Classic body), we have a classic platform kit. The 2019-2024 Silverado/Sierra 1500 gets its own newer-generation kit.
