Ford F-150 Tailgate Drop Assist Install and Review - OEM Tailgate Dampener

Installing Ford OEM tailgate dampener (part #FL3Z-99406A10-A Tailgate Shock Assembly) in a 2015 F-150 pickup truck. Sometimes referred to as just the tailgate assist, or more incorrectly a tailgate lift assist as it does not help with the weight of the tailgate as the term "lift assist" would suggest but merely slows the decent of the tailgate so it doesn't free-fall putting unnecessary stress on the cables and making lots of noise. This is a part that comes standard with some trim levels therefore it is a straightforward install on those models that didn't -- no drilling or any other modifications required.

The entire job takes about 15 minutes to complete and requires only basic mechanical skills and tools which is an 8mm and T-50 (Torx) wrenches. The effectiveness of the upgrade was better than expected. Per the literature, the kit fits 2015 through 2020 Ford F-150 pickups.
