Do I need tailgate dampers?

[12Bravo20]

Of course you don’t! Unless you want one.

I have to agree. There is NO need for a damper.

I won't hold it against anyone that wants one. To each their own.


Yes I am an odd duck out around here. I have no need for a damper plus I think the stock FX4 shocks are just fine too.

I had one on my previous truck so the first time I opened the Ranger TG I dropped it and knew I had been spoiled.

You should mention the free park assist that comes with all TGD... ?

Shocking!

Shocking!

Shocks like dampers? ?

Well, I don’t need that greenhouse I’ve started assembling in my living room. But, I sure do want it. (And, no, I’m not leaving it in the living room).

Yep!

If so which ones work really well.
Use to the cables but seems many have opted to use the Dampers.

Yes, you need one. Although no TSB or recall has been issued yet, running your truck without a TG damper can cause excess fuel in the oil and water in the sparkplugs.

And causes the truck to be higher on one side...

Sorry for the post - it appears this whole subject has been threaded to death

You have no idea the amount of HELL you just unleashed!! Just sayin

yes you need one. Now that this thread is here. ....
HOW ABOUT BRAND QUALITY ON TAILGATE STRUT ASSIST??
Do not have a dee zee syrut assist. I have some amazon cheaper priced product. Open my tailgate 4 to 10 times daily. It seems to be dropping quicker than normal only after 5, 6 months. Are the deezees better quality? The amazon one seems to be ok, but....i dont think it will make it to see the new year

Comments??

I don't get the well overdone tailgate damper thing going on here. I put one on and I like it.

You need a hydraulic ram instead. Really slam that F'er down. Need 3 people to close it. None of this soft new age garbage. Keep it hard. ?

 

[Synfulz]

OF COURSE YOU DO!

This shouldn't even be a question on here anymore. Only the original will do....DeeZEE!

Alright I am going to be in, not out. I have ordered the DeeZee. I already have hood struts which is unbalancing the level of my truck. ??
