Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

The bolts were too short, had to go buy longer ones, and also was missing one of the pin locking ring that holds the spring in place. So cost me an extra 20 dollars..

I have trouble with lift springs being too strong to allow tailgate to drop down. I have extra heavy tailgate but springs keep it from dropping down past half way. Have to push completely to ground.

My friend had one and I was sold from the minute I tried it. I can hook the tailgate with my foot and it comes right up easily. Install can be a bit of a pain depending on your trailer manufacturer, but was totally worth it. My friend broke a roller after years of use and the repair part was easy to get. User instruction could be a bit clearer on where to mount bolt on ramp. Too low and not enough lift and too high and it comes up too fast. I cant overstate the importance of testing before drilling. Pulling the spring taut for attaching the bolts or hooks can be tricky. I used a loop of strong line on the end of the spring and then pulled it out when I was done to save my fingers.

At first I thought I had bought a nightmare. Instructions were not very clear as they were gobbled up together and that made them very hard to understand. After I went thru the instructions and wrote them in a manner that made everything understandable. Paragraphs for the instructions would have made it a lot easier. when you jumble up instruction instead of separating each step, it creates a nightmare. I love the way it lets my tailgate down and picks it up without no effort on my part. Im very happy with my purchase.

Ease on raising tailgate on trailer

This is a great product, really helped my husbands shoulder

This product is going to save my back over the years to come. I have a very heavy gate on my landscaping trailer and I put it up and down at least 20 times every day. Instead of having to do a squat maneuver to get my gate up, now I flip it up with my foot and the rest of the way I push-up with a finger tip. It is a game changer

It 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.

Great item.. Have bought 2 of them.

All trailer manufacturers dont seem to turn the angle iron on the tailgate the same way so if you buy the lift handle you will have to adjust the instructions to fit your trailer. If using the extension rollers the instructions dont show which way to install the rivets or how far apart the roller extension and lift arm should be. An email to Gorilla lift solved both issues within 24 hours and I was able to complete installation the day after delivery.
