Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

Replaces an existing unit that rusted out after 9 years.

Ease on raising tailgate on trailer

Had one bolt that would not thread, otherwise was great experience installing. Works great once installed.

I 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).

My end gate is home made, weighing about 250 pounds. This lift handles it with ease! Using a fish scale, the lift force is 11 pounds!!

Parts missing for assembly. Rollers for end attachment missing

I did a RE-APPLICATION with this product, and it came out just Fine. Modified a enclosed car-hauler type trailer in to a landscape trailer with 45 sides, and a 5 ((HEAVY)) drop door/ramp capable of handling a BobCat/skid steer. The supplied cables being APP. 50 long would not Even begin to allow for the needed pic-points. Mounted @ 45 high and needing to pic, from the hinge @ at-least 47 needed App 5 1/2 of cable. So I went to my local rigging supply house and had two 12 sections of cable swedged with a Tight loop on one end, and open on the other. Purchased two 1 1/2 swivel eye pulleys, two small chain mending links and two thimbles. Cost complete, $55.00. Using the Back bolt location, bond the tight loop have the using the chain links, attach the pulley to the spring, (having removed the original cable) pull tight & temporally bond to required pic point, remove fitted assembly and have it professionally swedged at the determined location. Acceptable results for little money, not one handed feather-lite operation, BUT easily lifted with out straining. Photos of parts and application. Gflatt, Jacksonville Fla.

Easy to install. I beefed up my ramp and it was a little heavy to raise. Now I can lift it with 2 fingers. very happy with the purchase

Instructions were very clear & I am able to raise and lower the gate with very little effort.

This is a great product, really helped my husbands shoulder
