AiYiGu Tailgate Assist Shock Kit for Ram 2500/3500 (2010–2025) — Gas-Damped, No-Drill Install

AiYiGu Tailgate Assist Shock Kit replaces abrupt tailgate drops with a smooth, controlled lower-and-lift motion for 2010–2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.

This tailgate assist is a gas-damped shock and hardware kit designed to slow tailgate descent, reduce wear on cables and hinges, and make closing easier. Built from structural-grade 45# steel with electroplated corrosion protection, the kit installs without drilling and includes all specialty parts and tools needed for a do-it-yourself fit on compatible Ram models.

How does the AiYiGu shock improve everyday tailgate use?

The shock fits between the tailgate and bed to regulate speed when you lower the tailgate and to provide lift assistance when closing. That controlled motion prevents sudden drops that can damage the tailgate or the cargo edge and reduces the shock transmitted to cable anchor points. The assist is especially useful when loading heavy items or when you need one-handed operation.

• Gentle descent control prevents slamming and reduces hinge/cable stress
• Assists closing to make the tailgate easier to latch
• Reduces vibration and wear on rear truck components
• Works hands-free and with manual operation

Is this kit compatible with my Ram truck model year?

The mounting plates and included hardware match factory anchor points so most installs don’t require altering the tailgate or truck bed.
