10-06-2025read some reviews and some said one was enough to easily raise and lower your gate, maybe you could sell the other one and reduce the cost of purchase. So with one its like lifting maybe 10 or 15 pounds, a great improvement! But after I installed the second rail its like nothing to lift!You bought it, use both! I looked on you tube along with the instructions and it was relatively simple to install. Remember to use good sharp metal drill bits, I used some cheap ones for the first rail and it took me over two hours to drill the holes! Then I found some titanium tipped bits and was able to drill all the holes in just minutes! Be real careful when you use the half inch bit when you step up to that,it will more than likely grab and the drill can really do you some harm if you dont release it fast enough! I bought some stainless steel eye bolts and S hooks and mounted it directly to the face of the gate instead of the side, seams to be of more direct line with the rail..buy the plastic caps to finish off the job as long as you are buying this..I really do like this product and it works great!

08-06-2025Worth every penny. After hours of yard work trailer gate gets heavy. With this lift I can easily flip up the gate with my foot. Should have added a long time ago. You will need a good Drill and Drill Bits. .500” holes take some work. 10 total holes.

Greater than one weekI bought these kind of as an afterthought when I was getting a ramp installed on my trailer. This is an extremely stout trailer ramp, as you can see in the picture, probably weighing 300 lbs. These lifts have no issue holding it up and slowing dropping it. I actually have to push it down the last 4 but it stays when its on the ground. I drive my tractor up on the trailer, lift it with my toe and one hand lift the rest of the way. These are amazing and honestly, when I bought them, I didnt have really high expectations. Highly recommended, hopefully the longevity is as good as the initial performance!

> 3 dayI LOVE this kit! We installed it in less than an hour. Now dropping and lifting our trailer gate is no longer a 2 person event. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because the ends of the tubes dont come with any protection (caps). Upon purchasing and installing the assist, we realized that the springs and cables inside the rails will be exposed to rain and mud when hauling our Ranger. Back to Amazon to buy a set of end caps (they were only $7 but it would have been nice to have 2 in the kit).

> 3 dayCouldn’t be more satisfied. This is a game changer. My ramp gate is over 150 pounds. Now it moves easily up and down and will stay in any position between.

Greater than one weekAs my back reminds me of my age (74) I am completely satisfied with the assisted lift for my tailgate on my trailer. As many other customers say I should have had these years ago --- I was wondering a little about the fit on my trailer as I have a by-fold end gate but that was no problem. The only thing I had to modify was the mounting of the tubes as my trailer latch system was in the way and I didnt want to modify that so I simply put a 2 square tubing 10 long on each end and in the middle where the assist comes together and that raised the cable up enough so it clears my latch on the end gate. I mounted it on my ATV trailer and have used it a number of times already hauling my ATV for ice fishing trips and it works great -- very satisficed with the product.
