It’s the same as the T6 one here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/tailgate-damper.1588/page-2#post-29598

I’m 99% sure it won’t work.
DO NOT GET THIS ONE!!

Does not fit. I did call the guy and ask mainly because many times they use generic pictures of not the actual product and he said 100% will fit so i ordered it at least they’re cheap and will refund me. Truth be told I can make this kit it’s stupid easy. Not sure why it’s taking everyone so long to make it.

Mine was in the mail today and after reading this I emailed him asking for a return label as it didn't fit the Ranger. The seller has already refunded my money back to my Paypal account but no shipping label yet. Either way at least he's a A+ seller for acting so quickly. Now the wait is on for this one :clock:

Mine arrived today, the hillbilly in me wanted to make it work, how hard could it be? The top bolt is too small and the bottom bracket does not fit correctly, however, I think any decent machinist could make these parts. But I am not throwing good money after bad and will return, like TG Ranger, they already refunded my Pay Pal.

I am a tool and die maker, I probably would have made the parts or modified the existing, ha.

Love the bad translations:

4.To make your car more stereoscopic sense, best eye-catching, and get unique charm

I have no idea what that was even trying to say.... :)
It can be aggravating with instructions. lol

I just got mine, ha. Good thing they refunded me already. I took it out to my truck just to see what was wrong. I pulled the shaft all the way out and it seems to be to short to begin with. (no "that's what she said" jokes please) Not to mention the brackets and fasteners being wrong. I could probably make an extension and figure out the fasteners but I'm not putting all that work into it. I'll wait for some one to make one that works.

Haven’t received it but I submitted a return and got a refund. They haven’t told me if they want it back yet when it gets here.
