DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• Bring modern convenience and safety to your classic truck or heavy-duty work rig. The Seguler Tailgate Assist Damper Kit upgrades 1997–2003 Ford F-150 and 1999–2016 Super Duty trucks with a smooth, hydraulic lowering mechanism that prevents heavy steel tailgates from crashing down when unlatched.
  
• Constructed with heavy-gauge custom mounting brackets and an industrial-grade hydraulic strut, this kit absorbs the heavy impact weight of Ford's steel bed gates. By dampening the descent speed, Seguler prevents structural strain on factory support cables and hinges while protecting job site workers, family members, and truck bed cargo from sudden tailgate drops.

Key Features

• A hydraulic shock damps the tailgate’s movement and takes the harsh factory drop out of play.
  
• Drop the gate with one hand while the other carries tools, equipment, groceries, or gear.
  
• Comes with a protective Mylar sheet that keeps painted surfaces safe during install.
  
• Goes in with just basic hand tools — nothing to drill.
  Heavy-duty steel mounting hardware is built to keep working reliably for years.
  

FAQ

Q: How long will the install take? 

A: Most people wrap it up in about 10 minutes with basic hand tools.

Q: Is there any drilling involved? 

A: No. It bolts on using the factory mounting locations, so there’s nothing to drill.

Q: What makes this worth it on an older truck? 

A: A lot of older trucks never shipped with a factory tailgate assist. This upgrade brings that modern convenience without swapping out any factory parts.

Q: Need one for a newer F-150 or a newer Super Duty? 

A: Need a newer one? We have a kit for the 2004-2014 F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT, plus a 2017-2024 Super Duty-specific kit.
