Greater than one weekI am getting older now and the ramp on my trailer is really getting heavy for me to lift off the ground and with these on I can lift it with one finger --- literally !! These were difficult to install on my trailer because my side rails are made out of pipe, but , if your trailer is made from angle iron it wont take you 45 minutes to install these. Great product

> 3 dayI had built a custom very heavy duty trailer not long after hurricane Ivan and due to a major shortage of any form of metal available at that time I decided to use a very strong 2inch square tubing . Very thick and heavy. I made the tailgate system also with this heavy duty framework and the estimated weight of the tailgate is approx 175 pounds if not more. I have dreaded having to use the ramp due to several herniated disks in my back and would always require someone to help me with raising and lowering the gate. I had seen this system on another trailer and liked the fact that it is very simple and particularly liked that it does not detract from the design of my custom trailer. I decided to purchase this and installed it immediately. I am a contractor and my work involves hauling many things and so needed a fairly heavy duty trailer. I can now lift my trailer gate up or down literally with one finger . I could not believe it at first just what a difference this system could make. I only wish I had known about this years ago ! It is a real life changer for me ! If you have back issues or wish to avoid serious injuries to your back this is no doubt the way to go ! It is priced very reasonably , very well constructed and took approx two hours to install . I must say you folks have done an excellent job by creating a tool that can really change lives in a very positive way ! I will be gladly recommending this system with those that I see in the work trade that still are struggling with the same burden as I had for so many years ! I cant say enough other than a big THANK YOU !

> 3 dayIt is very sturdy and all parts were included. The instructions should include diagrams. We had to watch a video online, which made it easier. You need a high quality drill and bit. This makes a tremendous difference when opening and closing our heavy gate.

> 3 dayEasy to install-I pulled up a U Tube video that showed how to go about it-just like the written instructions ! I ended up using only on of the 2 lifts in the kit-----I have a 5 x 10 trailer---and a single works perfectly! I mounted it on the passenger side because I have my spare tire mounted on the driver side and would have had to reposition it to accommodate the 2nd lift. I gave a friend of mine the passenger side lift-he tossed me back half of what I paid ! I used it extensively from Wednesday thru Saturday and it never failed-Would though like for it to have a plastic cap over the front end of the lift to keep dirt and debris out-this being open could become an issue down the road-I haul my ATV on this trailer and am on a lot of dirt and mud roads.....

> 3 daySo I ordered this and for one reason or another it took 18 months to find the time to install it. Started off slow because my old gate latch was mounted on the top rail and had to be removed. Then had to put new latches on that mounted on the side rail uprights. Total time to install just the Gorilla lift kit was under an hour. Now it is so easy to lift the gate I can not believe it took me so long to get it done. Strongly recommend this product
