  • ★ The dampener
  • ★ 2x balls studs

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.

  1. Low_Kuntree (verified owner) –

    Very cool idea! Been thinking about this from the newer trucks.
    Is a very simple install, if you have Standard factory type tail lights. If you have any custom or shaved tail lights it may require longer rivnuts for thick metal or you’ll need to weld in a nut for the upper mounting point.
    With a full custom truck I don’t have to worry about someone else opening the tailgate and not being gentle and loving with it! Great little kit!

  2. Carlos Hernandez –

    Great product, and a super easy installation. Comes with stainless hardware which is a nice touch. The guys at LS Fab have put a lot of thought into their products and the quality shows!!!! Definitely will be back for more parts!

  3. DKASPER –

    Bought this for my 1992 GMC. The strut operates nice and smooth no jerky motions. Was a super easy install, clears my cables for my tailgate with ease. I even fitted three different sets of taillights in my truck and I never had a clearance issue with the top ball stud. Over all it is a great add on to my truck and I love it

    Great Add-On For My 97 OBS Just Open & Let It Glide For The Price You Can’t Beat It. I Was Hoping Someone Would Bring The Soft Control Tailgate & They Answered With This Kit.

    Just got my 97 GMC back from paint, I hate it when my kids/wife let the tailgate down when opening. I don’t have that issue any longer. The ball ends on the shock set this kit apart. Very nice design.

    Tailgate saver is an Awesome product! Super easy installation with just simple tools. All original hardware works with my application. The kit came with everything needed. Now, it’s super easy to open the tailgate without the worry of damaging it, the bumper or other parts. Simply pull the handle and let Tailgate Saver do the work! I’m very happy with the results
