DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• Protect your hands, your cargo, and anyone standing nearby from sudden tailgate falls.
  
• 3rd Gen Dodge RAM tailgates are notoriously heavy, and a slips-from-the-hand release can result in a dangerous crash down—risking injury to kids, pets, or crew members. The Seguler Tailgate Assist System transforms your heavy steel RAM bed gate into a slow, controlled descent. Powered by a high-pressure nitrogen cylinder calibrated for 2003–2009 RAM hinge geometry, this kit catches the drop weight automatically, giving you total safety and hands-free convenience every time you open the bed.

Key Features

• Gives the factory steel tailgate a controlled drop on Dodge Ram trucks.
  
• Opens the gate with one hand while the other carries equipment, supplies, or gear.
  
• Includes a dedicated cable clip that keeps the factory cable routed correctly in use.
  
• Corrosion-resistant steel shrugs off rain, humidity, road salt, and whatever the weather throws at it.
  
• Mounts through the factory locations and includes all the required install hardware.

FAQ

Q: How is this better than just lowering the gate by hand? 

A: The shock controls the drop speed, so it stops sudden falls and cuts the effort it takes to open the gate.

Q: Why does it come with a cable clip? 

A: The clip keeps the factory cable guided and reduces the odds of it pinching, snagging, or wearing early.

Q: Does this keep the tailgate propped up? 

A: No. Its job is to slow the drop — it won’t prop the gate up or hold it closed.

Q: Need one for a newer Ram or the latest 1500? 

A: For the 2009-2018 Ram 1500/2500/3500, we have a later-generation Ram kit. The 2019-2025 Ram 1500 gets our newest Ram 1500 kit.
