LS Fabrication's "Gate Saver" tailgate assist shock/strut for 1988-1998 Chevy trucks adds eye-catching customization to your OBS Chevy truck. The "Gate Saver" is an easy install addition to the tailgate of your 88-98 Chevy truck.
The LS Fab Gate Saver for Chevy trucks slows the tailgate opening action. This allows your tailgate to open freely without slamming after unlatching.
You'll now have a tailgate that opens like a brand new Chevy pickup!
Our OBS Gate Saver kit includes:
- ✅ The dampener
- ✅ 2x ball studs
- ✅ Jam nut for an easy install
- ✅ Works with tailgate cables on both sides of the tailgate
The Tailgate Saver will work with both tailgate straps and cables. However, in the case of tailgate straps, removal of the driver side tailgate strap is required to install. Please use your discretion on the weight capabilities with a single tailgate strap.
Note: box liners, tailgate caps, excessive body work, and/or anything adding weight to the tailgate will affect the rate of fall.

I just put a new tailgate on my 1991 454SS and the tailgate would slam down if you let it. After seeing new trucks and how their tailgates come down slow I said I want that! The shock kit from LS Fabrication took that all away in about 20 minutes install time. Shipping was fast and the kit included a convenient scan code to take you directly to the install steps online. Nice! It works amazing easy to install, not overly expensive (when you consider tailgate hardware rebuild kits) and looks to be well made. I highly recommend this if you don’t want your tailgate slamming down all the time.
Great product, easy instal with the instructions provided. Thanks
