How to Install a Tailgate Assist Mechanism (Soft Close) | 1995 Ford F150

In this video, I will show you how to install a tailgate assist kit. Typically when you open your tailgate, it just falls down and slams which jars your entire truck. This kit allows your tailgate to open smoothly and softly to the fullest open position. Essentially it is like a tailgate soft opener. Made in the USA by JC Custom metal fabrication.
