Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

This will definitely save your back. Easy to lift and lower.

I wish I had this years ago. Easy to install and once adjusted, makes raising your gate effortless. I lift mine with one finger. Best money I have spent in a while. Love it

At first I thought I had bought a nightmare. Instructions were not very clear as they were gobbled up together and that made them very hard to understand. After I went thru the instructions and wrote them in a manner that made everything understandable. Paragraphs for the instructions would have made it a lot easier. when you jumble up instruction instead of separating each step, it creates a nightmare. I love the way it lets my tailgate down and picks it up without no effort on my part. Im very happy with my purchase.

I am a CPA by profession so by no means a garage junkie. I have looked at these for awhile before deciding to give them a try and stop breaking my back on the tailgate of my tandem axle trailer. I also had a gentleman weld in two extra support beams on the trailer gate as I do drive have tractors on the trailer. These extra support beams are great except the trailer gate weighed about 150 pounds, I swear. Out of the box there are not to many parts. Step one, do not leave the springs and cable in the tubes while marking where to drill the holes. They do not tell you this and gave me a headache for nothing. Marking the tubes for drilling is easy, the holes arte kinda tough to drill as you are drilling into steel from your trailer. I started with a small bit then up a couple of sizes then the final 1/2 inch you need. Be careful with the 1/2 one, once through it turned the drill and almost broke my wrist so when close to be through, slow down. Directions are pretty straight forward. When doing the four little rollers look at the picture on the last page, the direction are confusing but the picture tells it all. Took me about 21/2 hours to install but think I could do the next one in about 45 minutes. My only question once completed??? Why did I wait so long to order!!! Buy it you will never regret it.

Easy to install. I beefed up my ramp and it was a little heavy to raise. Now I can lift it with 2 fingers. very happy with the purchase

I have a 16’ trailer for my UTV. The gate was over 150 lbs. After my back surgery last year I could not lift or let it down alone. Now I can lift or lower the gate with literally 2 fingers. I show it to anyone who has a trailer.. this is a great product. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars on ease of installation is that the design of my trailer rails required me to weld the rearmost part of the lift to the rail because the rail design made it impossible to access the rear bolt hole. Any trailer I have from now on till get a gorilla lift.

These units are Awesome! I had to make a few brackets for my personal install. In short, it’s been a great upgrade. I added a gate extension to my trailer an had to have the assist an this was the answer.

As far as the Gorilla Lift, installation was easy. My trailer has angle iron top rails, so I bought shorter carriage bolts (my choice-less than $1.00). Yes, the supplied bolts are not 5/16” as claimed on the instructions, they appear to be metric. I also bought square plugs to cover the open end of the tubing, which again was my choice. (cost me $1.00) You have to trim the plugs so they fit due to the hardware inside the square tubing. The instructions I found to be well written and understandable. The hardest part was attaching the cables to the tailgate which took some muscle to install, but I did it by myself. I am very pleased with the Gorilla Lift. My wife was able to easily lower and raise the tailgate. We both have back problems so this should help. I only gave the Gorilla Lift 3 stars because of delivery problems. When I placed the order (on a Friday) delivery was guaranteed for the following Tuesday. When it wasn’t delivered on Tuesday, I contacted the seller and was promised delivery on Wednesday. When it wasn’t delivered on Wednesday, then I was promised that it would be delivered anytime from Thursday to the following Tuesday. The package was delivered on Thursday. The Gorilla Lift was available elsewhere for a few dollars less, but I paid the few dollars extra because of the promised early delivery date. Had I known that it wouldn’t be delivered on the promised day, I would have bought from the cheaper seller.

Easy to install my gate only needed one spring on each side instead of the two springs . Workes very well gate all most lifts itself.

My end gate is home made, weighing about 250 pounds. This lift handles it with ease! Using a fish scale, the lift force is 11 pounds!!
