Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

Any trailer 12 feet or more, I highly recommend these. The trailer ramps, especially on larger trailers, are quite heavy to lift up and even let down. With this product, it makes putting the ramp down easily with one hand....same for lifting the ramp up as well. They are sturdy and well-made, fairly easy to install too.

Instructions seem to be very intimidating to look at and read. I went to the Trusty YouTube and I found all kind of videos on installing the Gorilla lift there. The time I wasted trying to read them is all it took to install it on my Trailer. I bought a 2019 Carry on and when it comes to drilling the holes go ahead and save yourself a trip back and buy the Good Drill Bits to begin with. My tail gate weighs right at 75 lbs and stands 4 feet tall and is 5 feet 5 inches wide. I have a bad back and thought I was going to have to sell my new trailer before I got started. After a lil research I found the Gorilla Lift and I thought there was no way it works like the video. Got it on and the tail gate would not stay down. I had to unhook 1 spring on both sides to get my gate to stay down. Sure enough I can use 1 finger to lower it or lift it. I am good to go and I get to keep my trailer now. Mine is installed on a 3 inch round tube and not on a flat surface. I had to buy 8 - 3 1/2 inch bolts to replace the 2 1/2 inch ones that came with it. That was a dislike but it was made to work so I am happy on that The front part of the lift has a 2 inch square where the springs hold to and it looked a lil sloppy so I bought the 2 inch squares off of Amazon and slipped them right on. Looks good and it is in Great shape for my hauling needs. I could have used one of them to do the job at hand but I was concerned about my Tail Gate Twisting by doing so... Highly Recommend is a Back Saver and it adds value to your Trailer

THEY WORK AS STATED ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT A FINAL ADJUSTMENT ON PRESSURE THEY NEED SLIGHTLY LOOSE SO THE GATE STAYS DOWN.. OR THEY WILL LIFT THE GATE ON THEIR OWN..

Really like the Gorilla lift and give it five stars. The reason I give four Star is the bolts that come with it are not going to let your bolts set flat unless you make your hole square or drill a really big hole. I believe the hardware bolts could be a better design.

Great item.. Have bought 2 of them.

Saw this on another trailer and thought it would be a great idea for my trailer. I had some work done on the lift gate on my dual axle trailer that I tote a Kubota buggy on for work. My lift gate was getting bowed from the buggy so I had it reinforced which made it barely lift-able with one person. My back was being strained and I am in pretty good shape. I read the reviews on google and Amazon before purchasing and read some mixed reviews about how it worked fairly well but that it was difficult to install. Watched a You-Tube video about installation (which for me is easier than reading instructions), purchased and set out to install it. First of all, installation is time consuming...a few hours if you know how to use the necessary tools and are fairly handy with them. My trailer has a little thicker metal so used smaller to bigger titanium bits to get it done easier. The installation of the bolts after drilling is a little tricky but do-able. Did one side for now, which has made a huge difference and it works well so will probably do the other soon.

Wish I would’ve added these sooner. Easy to install and so powerful I had to remove the inner spring. Would definitely recommend this product

Very easy to install. Lifts my heavy tailgate/loading ramp easily. Wish I had bought them years ago.

This is one of the best investments for work which Ive ever made. I deliver goods in my own trailer, and the tailgate needs to accommodate weighty stuff, so the gate is heavy gauge metal. Lifting it up and down all the time was doable, but who needs the extra work when you lift a lot already? It goes up and down with nearly zero effort now, and the gate lifting hardware was easy to install.

I unfortunately installed it more than the specified 18. My fault. Had it welded at 18 and wouldnt keep the trailer if I had to keep manually lifting the tailgate. Im a 78 year old woman and this add on is a miracle for me.
