Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

Hardware is universal. Bolts and fasteners were extremely long. Used my own bolts.

Installed these easily in about 2 hours. Very strong and well made. You cant go wrong with the gorilla lift

So I ordered this and for one reason or another it took 18 months to find the time to install it. Started off slow because my old gate latch was mounted on the top rail and had to be removed. Then had to put new latches on that mounted on the side rail uprights. Total time to install just the Gorilla lift kit was under an hour. Now it is so easy to lift the gate I can not believe it took me so long to get it done. Strongly recommend this product

Bought this for my husband. East to install and I can lift gate with one hand.

This product was a nice addition to my 10 trailer ramp that I haul my 60 zero turn mower on. I could have bought another product $50.00 cheaper which appears to be alike. I chose the gorrilla-lift in case I would ever need new parts to replace such as a spring. I put the purchase of the ramp materials and gorrilla-lift off longer than I should have. Bruce in Missouri

This is a great product, really helped my husbands shoulder

Gorilla lift was easy to install and works great very easy on the back after a long day at work would recommend to everyone

easy to install works great !

I am getting older now and the ramp on my trailer is really getting heavy for me to lift off the ground and with these on I can lift it with one finger --- literally !! These were difficult to install on my trailer because my side rails are made out of pipe, but , if your trailer is made from angle iron it wont take you 45 minutes to install these. Great product

So, my utility trailer has 30 walls, so standard attachment would not work. I had angle iron rails welded 24 to the outside of the bed walls and used it as the attachment points. Mounting the tubes was not a problem, drilling the 1/2 in holes was important for this attachment for movement and clearance. The challenge was installing the pins that ended up against the side of the gate opening, there was not much clearance, but after many attempts was able to make it work. Standard cotter pins would have worked better for this app. SPRINGS , this was the most aggravating part of the install. Testing the spring strength vs the ramp gate was bs. trying to stretch the small spring while inside the large caused the spring to bind and not reflect the true spring rate. Then once a spring was cut, its worthless (cant undo a cut spring). It seems that it the springs were separated, not fixed to the cable, fine tuning what rate is needed for the ramp weight would work better. My app ended up with two small springs, does not hold the gate but takes some effort to lower and raise the ramp. Much better than before. However, a combo of one small one large may have worked better. Only other grip is, the manufacture suggests applying a sealant as the join of the two tubes, but end caps are not provided for the leading end of the tubes and the roller end is open. Makes perfect sense. would absolutely recommend!
