Do these shocks help at all with CLOSING the tailgate?
@Marco-fi6gv
5 жыл бұрын
Cool. I never thought of installing a second one. I just installed one on my truck about 2 weeks ago. I don't think I need another one it goes down pretty slow. I saw a couple of videos on here with people having trouble after the install because they are bending the attachment in the tailgate after repeated use. you have me thinking about installing a second one now just because I figure it will be less stress on the single one. After it breaks in it might speed up a little bit anyway. I just want to minimize the possibility of mind-bending or at least extend the life. I'm going to get another one

Installed 2 just like this on my 2014 F250. Did absolutely nothing to dampen, and it lifted right side right out of the factory mount. I recommend to buy the oem factory part from ford. Waste of time and money!!!!

JC... That f350 would look even better on the road to other drivers if those rear tires weren't sticking out there hurling stones at their windshields. Changing the taillights means changing the bed and probably the bed mounts and the tailgate. May as well just buy a newer truck.

My shock is expiring. It leaks and pops off the tailgate ball socket. I haven't done an exhaustive search for a replacement strut, but what I've found isn't cost effective. Dee Zee doesn't seem to sell replacement parts. I'll probably just get another kit. Double up? Never thought about that.

@@FixItNick , I didn't find a replacement shock, but I did purchase a replacement tailgate assist from Amazon. The replacement sure seems to be an exact duplicate of the Dee Zee but at half the cost. So I bought two and doubled them up as you did. Whether it needs it or not, it can't hurt. Advantage is if one fails I have a back up. I could not tell a difference in the open rate between one and two kids. We all hate it when our tailgates fall open. Good idea you had there. 👍

sense this is your newest vid. you should get your truck into a alignment shop for the rear axle. with duels any out of alignment issues will really mess up your tires, your sway bar may be damaged also from the issues you first had. I know because i have been a semi driver involved in a accident where the drives got knocked out of the alignment from a high speed impact from a auto under the influence traveling the wrong way on a highway. Nice truck. in regards to the little smoke on the exhaust. check out hot shot secret products. can be found at many truck stops. remember it's a 2001 so you don't have all the emissions crap on that rig so you might get smoke from the exhaust. if it's a 2000 motor i doubt you have egr on it also. you have a 1,000,000 mile truck there.
