    I recently bought a new trailer and boy is it heavy duty, the wife and I struggled just to raise the ramp and decided we needed some help. I watched many U Tube vids and decided on the Gorilla-Lift system, so glad I did. I ran into two small challenges during my install. 1. I had a 2x2 square tubing upright support to the top rail where the farthest back hole needed to be drilled. I was able to remove the plastic end cap, just drilled through the top tubing, cut the carriage bolt to about 1 and was able to fasten down that way. 2. The front hole was aligned with the fender, but I just drilled through the top tubing, through the fender and the supplied bolt was just barley long enough to reach all the way through to snug up the nut. Shipping was fast, assembly was easy and the results were amazing....simple one hand operation now. I did use all four springs on my trailer and it was just the right amount of tension. Any heavier of a ramp and I believe it would struggle. I highly recommend this product.

    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.

    I bought this for my father in law’s trailer. His gate is heavy. Now my mother in-law can lift it easily.

    I have a 5 x 10 single axle Trailer with a 40 tall tailgate with an expanded metal surface. The Gorilla Lift installed in a single afternoon (approx 2-hours). Each side comes as a double spring (small inner/ large outer) and cable assembly with roller guides at the cable end. Assembly of the 2 rail halfs for each side is easy; it only requires drilling 2 holes in the trailer per rectangular tube (thats 4 holes per side). The instructions could have been much clearer about how to measure the trailer tailgate for drilling the cable attachment point by using a diagram, but it didnt have one. The instructions do suggest testing the tailgate attachment point using the expanded metal tailgate deck as holes. Instead, I used a C-clamp attached to the side of my tailgate with the cable slotted thru the C-clamp and kept adjusting the clamp up or down until i got the tailgate to float neutral when opening or closing. After finding the right point, i drilled the tailgate side-rail and attached the cable stay-bolt at that point. All-in-all, for my size trailer and tailgate this product has performed as I wanted it to. My 65 Y.O. mother with Parkisons disease is easily able to lift (open and close) the tailgate now that it has the lift-assist attached. I am very pleased with the product.

    Fairly easy to install. Springs were much stronger than I thought they would be. I was worried our ramp would be a little to heavy, but it was plenty. We even had to tone it down to just 1 spring, because it was actually too much tension.

    I really liked it was easy to install. Video was very helpful. A few things that cause install to take a while we’re, the bolts were too long and I had to go buy shorter ones. Also the metal on my trailer must have been super heavy duty because I had to buy drill bits twice. Finally got it installed and it was way to much lift for my gate. I just took one side completely off. Really helps opening & shutting the gate. I would buy it again.

    What I like about the tail gate assist is it does make lift easier but on my trailer I had to weld and it took me 3 days after work to modify and weld. You need to make sure after you assemble that the cable doesnt rub when you let it all the way down.

Easily raise and lower your utility or ATV trailer"s tailgate. Enclosed two-sided lift-assist assembly virtually eliminates the weight of most trailer tailgates and helps to reduce accidents and injuries. Prevents tailgate warping or premature hinge failure. Adjustable for different tailgate weights and sizes. When properly set, most tailgates will stay in any position and float up and down at the slightest pressure, making loading and unloading hassle-free.
