OBS 87-96 Ford F-150 Tailgate Assist Bracket

EFFECTIVE 9/29/23: Due to poor quality control issues (not on our end) we have decided to discontinue “COMPLETE” kits. We were having a lot of issues with defective cylinders. So now we are only offering the brackets and hardware needed to adapt a 2004-2014 F-150 tailgate assist kit to your OBS. Any kit will work as long as its for an 04-14. eBay has some quality kits, Amazon-not so much. eBay sellers just could not keep up with our demand needed and Amazon could not supply quality kits. So we are forced to give away the secrets behind the kit, but this way everyone wins. Again, literally any kit that says it is for an 04-14 F-150 kit will give you the rest of the parts you need to make this a complete kit.

Here is a link to one of many on eBay

Again, this is the BRACKET ONLY. You will need to provide your own tailgate assist kit for an 04-14 F150 for the remainder of the parts needed to make this work.

Tired of slamming tailgates? Grab your tailgate assist kit today. Mounts in 10 minutes! Very easy install. If you choose the raw steel option you will need to paint the bracket so it does not rust. If you would like to see our kit in use we have some videos on social media. You may notice some extra resistance when closing the gate. This is from the bracket that originally contacted the rubber block, now contacting the bottom of the cylinder.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need a nutsert tool and 3/8 course thread nutsert into the existing hole in your tailgate. You may need to drill it out slightly bigger to fix the nutsert. All hardware provided. It has not been tested, but it may be possible to pull the access panel off an fish a nut on the inside to eliminate the need for a nutsert.

Please allow 7-10 business days for production.
