LS Fabrication's "Gate Saver" tailgate assist shock/strut for 1973-1987 GMC Chevy trucks adds a little modern luxury to your classic Squarebody.
The LS Fab "Gate Saver" slows the tailgate opening action, letting your tailgate open freely after unlatching. Now your tailgate can open, close, and latch like a brand new Chevy pickup.
Kit Includes:
- ✅ The dampener
- ✅ 2x ball studs
- ✅ LS Fab stainless support bracket
- ✅ Jam nut for an easy install
- ✅ Works with tailgate cables on both sides of the tailgate
Minor trimming of the tailgate and an M8 tap are required for install. Removing your factory link arm will lessen the tailgate's ability to handle heavy loads.
Note: box liners, tailgate caps, excessive body work, or anything adding weight to the tailgate will affect the rate of fall.
