Be aware that the knock-off dampers have been known to fail and leak oil.
thought you stayed away from damper posts? I guess you're hooked now. lol

OP, There's only one original...Come see me when this one fails! ?

No, I said I stayed away from damper jokes. If I have something constructive to add to a damper post, I'll add it.

The problem with the dampner is it takes to long for the tailgate to lower! Need an adjustable one so you can set preload or damping. lol First World Problems.
Yeah that 3 seconds seems like a lifetime. ?

Tough crowd lol
They’re just yanking your chain, Benjamin. Tailgate dampers have been a running joke around the forum for quite a while: some love them, some dislike them.:cool:

Isn't that the whole point of the damper? For me, I don't really care about 3 seconds, but I guess I can understand why people don't like it.

I think it's more some people want to whine about what someone else likes, but, maybe they just dislike them. Fortunately we can all choose what we want. :)
