19- Dodge Ram Tailgate Assist

The 19-Dodge Ram Tailgate Assist from DEE ZEE is engineered to reduce the effort required to open and close your truck's tailgate, transforming a frustrating daily task into a smooth, controlled operation. Built for full-size Ram trucks from 2019 onward, this hardware kit addresses a common pain point that many pickup owners face—excessive tailgate weight and resistance. Whether you're loading cargo, securing a load, or simply accessing your truck bed, a quality tailgate assist system makes a measurable difference in both convenience and long-term wear on hinges and latches.

This assist mechanism works by using dampening struts or spring-loaded hardware to counterbalance the tailgate's weight, allowing it to open with minimal force and close with controlled descent rather than slamming shut. The DEE ZEE design is compact and lightweight at just 0.84 pounds, fitting discreetly within the tailgate assembly at approximately 14.3 inches in length. All necessary mounting hardware is included in the kit, eliminating the need for sourcing additional fasteners or adapters. The system integrates seamlessly with Dodge Ram factory tailgate systems, maintaining OEM appearance while adding professional-grade functionality that reduces strain on hinges and extends the service life of your truck bed access point.

Ram owners who regularly haul cargo, work in trades, or simply want to eliminate the frustration of a heavy tailgate will appreciate the practical benefits of this assist system. Installation is straightforward for owners with basic mechanical knowledge, though professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment and durability. This tailgate assist is specifically designed for 2019 and newer full-size Dodge Ram trucks, making it a direct-fit solution without modification or adapters. Regular maintenance of the assist mechanism—occasional cleaning and light lubrication—ensures long-term reliable operation and protects your investment in truck maintenance.
