    Don't you hate it when the tailgate slips out of your fingers and slams down out of your control? It's happened to everyone that owns a pickup, but doesn't need to anymore. The EZ Down system works in conjunction with the existing tailgate cables on your truck to provide smooth, even lowering. The integrated dampener eliminates sudden drops of the tailgate by slowing the rate at which it opens. No more frustration or potential hazards to yourself or bystanders. Easy no-drill installation.

    EZ DOWN TAILGATE FOR DIDGE RAM 1500, October 29, 2009
    By sbattle76 from Oak Harbor, WA

    "Directions were a bit hard to follow at first, but I got it installed in about 30 mins anyway. the only thing I don't like about it is that the cable sometimes will get stuck in the tailgate or somehow stuck behind the compressor making it possible to damage the unit. keep the pad in the right spot and it works very well."

    By Mike469 from Everett, Washington

    Slow and Easy!!!!!, July 30, 2009
    By padeerhunterrugerman from Hughesville, Pa

    "Bought two, one for me and the other for my brother. Very simple to install and WOW!!! how easy does it. Pull the handle on my tailgate now and walk away. No noise at all. Like I said, Slow and Easy. I think this would be great for the women who have wrestled with that tail gate in the past. It does not hinder the upward motion when closing the tailgate. I think it could also save the tailgate cables from premature breakage due to dropped tailgates."

    Great if it fit, May 14, 2009
    By Anonymous from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    "Bought the EZ Down for a 2008 Ram 1500. Will not work on my truck as it is, maybe if you drill hole bigger on the tailgate where pin connects. No problem though, return to Cabella's is easy, that's why I buy at Cabella's."

    product good-information bad, May 5, 2009
    By gcar123 from Silt Colorado

    "I have a Ford 350 4 door long bed truck. I choose this item based on the year/ make and model listed on the website. When I received the product and read the instructions it specifically stated it would not fit on this pickup. I was frustrated to say the least but decided to open the package and size it up. It looked as though it should fit so I committed myself to the installation hoping I would not get into something that could not be fixed later or returned if needed. The part fit despite the instructions. If the instructions had mentioned that a metric wrench was required it would have been useful info. I struggled to find a wrench that would work. The ez-down tail gate mechanism works fine. Glad I installed it on such a heavy tailgate."

    EZ Down Tailgate, April 20, 2009
    By BigJohnC from Okeechobee, FL

    "Very easy to install. Extremely functional and I like the fact that it is hidden from view. If you have ever had your tailgate slip out of your hands while lowering and make that teeth rattling bang, this is the product for you. A real attention getter."

    "Great product, easy to install, works wonderfully. Even my skeptical friends thought it work great. They could not believe the damper fits perfectly inside the gate and truck body.
    Nice job by all involved.

    Good, not perfect., January 5, 2009
    By my1stcummins from Petersburg, AK

    "The install of this product is very straight forward and the materials appear to be of high quality so far. I have had issues with the tailgate cable popping out when I close it and it sticks out of the gap between the tail light and tailgate... a slight annoyance.

    It does what it sets out to do and that is to make opening the tailgate a breeze.
