Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

Best purchase Ive ever made for my husband, he can lift the double gate with just two fingers. Most every time he takes brush to the recycle he gets comments on it, once someone tries it, they want one. :-)

Works great

Overall works good with tailgate on my trailer.

Totally worth it, makes it easier to lift the gate

This is an awesome piece of equipment! I recently had a close call with my trailer gate almost slipping out of my greasy hands with my feet directly below and in the line of fire. Had the gate slipped out of my hands, both feet would have broken or worse damage by this 200lb. gate! This gate assist is a back saver and as well as a must have safety devise. Following instructions is an easy install. Recommend a good sharpe metal drill bit. Encountered an issue with a bolt hole inline with a fender well; but resolved it with a shorter bolt from local hardware store. Only would ask seller to throw in shorter bolts also for us trailer owners with angle iron rails as I now need to cut off excess bolts used. Paying a few dollars more for eight more bolts is worth the hassle of now having to cut the bolt excess off. Simply fantastic product for the price! If you don’t have a set, get one!!! You won’t be sorry!

Easy to install

Likes - came as a two pack; easy to install, instructions were clear Dislikes - The provided bolts are longer than what I would have selected for mounting to the trailer. Note the bolts are metric thread. I was going to change them out for standards of a shorter size (as my local Lowes does not have a great inventory if any metric). Luckily, I brought a couple of the carriage bolts with me and figured out that on the closest standard thread, the square part of the carriage bolt on the metric bolt is smaller, so standard bolt would not work in the pre-drilled carriage bolt holes on the spring tubes. I stuck with the metric bolts but did change out the longer bolts on the gate end since they were not carriage bolt application. Also, my trailer has a dove tail and the side rails follow that drop so I ended up using spacers to support end closest to gate. No biggie and I knew this going into the purchase. Also, I added some chain link connectors to the trailer and positioned the gate locations a bit higher to allow for some adjustment if the spring wears. There are actually two springs in each tube, and I opted to use both versus trial and error of testing one then another. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This gorilla lift is something I should have done a long time ago.. very easy installation with instructions that are very easy to follow. I used it for my liftgate on my utility trailer and its so much easy just by using one hand and then putting my foot on it and then vice versa , no more strain or hurting my back.. I would very much recommend..

help me to lift TAILGATE NOW with ease

I knew from the installation video I watched prior to purchasing it that the install was not a 5 minute process, but I didnt anticipate the amount of adjustments I would have to make to allow it to release and lift my tailgate properly...oh well, its on and finally working as it should...
