- ★ The dampener
- ★ 2x balls studs
- ★ LS Fab Stainless Support Bracket
- ★ Jam nut for an easy install.

Love this makes the tailgate open and close a lot better and no more slamming or falling tailgate
Product was a perfect fit, easily installed and makes a very nice upgrade. And the customer service was outstanding, including rectifying an “oops” on my part due to forgetting I needed a later model strut for my 74 with an 81 box.
Build quality is heavy duty and seems like it will last. And the instructions were easy to understand.
Great product would definitely buy again
It works great and was easy to install
