Amarok Trendline M21 Slow down/Ezi up Tailgate struts installation

[Newkidontheblok]

Cheap mod. $45 online purchase. However, no install guide. Not even pictograms.
Mod gives a "slow descent, lift assist" on tailgate operation. A welcome alternative to the hit in the chest approach which is the factory default setting.

Note that the damper and lifting strut are both mounted to the tailgate bolt assembly that is closest to the car. Lifting strut is fitted to one side, damper to the other.

The "limit of travel" wire rope supports are seldom of equal length. If one rope is significantly shorter than the other after install, try swapping them.




Note that strut/damper mounting position is the bolt hole that is closest to the car. Same applies for the other side.
