Tailgate Saver Shock (Strut) – 88-98 GMC Chevy Truck
LS Fabrication's "Gate Saver" or Tailgate Assist Shock/Strut – 1988-1998 Chevy Truck adds eye catching customization to your OBS Chevy truck. The "Gate Saver" is an easy install and addition to the tailgate of your 88-98 Chevy truck.
The LS Fab Gate Saver for Chevy trucks slows the tailgate opening action allowing your tailgate to open freely without slamming after unlatching.
You will now have a tailgate that opens like a brand new Chevy pickup!
Our Gate Saver kit includes:
- ★ The dampener
- ★ 2x balls 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 but in the case of tailgate straps require the removal of the driver side tailgate strap is required to install. Please use your discretion on the weight capabilities with a single tailgate strap.

Great product works as described. They are the only ones who I found offering this product.
Include better detailed instructions
This is a great upgrade for the 88-98 C/K trucks. Installation was easy and only took about 20 minutes. It looks great and adds a modern touch. I highly recommend this part!
Glad these guys are making parts for OBS trucks! The Tailgate Saver Shock was a very welcome addition to my 93 restoration project. The part is high quality and works very well…no more banging tailgate! Pay particular attention to the order the screws and components are installed as there is one screw that isn’t accessible to reinstall if you do it in the wrong order. Only took a few minutes to correct. Highly recommend this!
Works great to keep that big heavy tailgate from slamming down!
