Orion Motor Tech Tailgate Assist 2009-2025 🚚

This tailgate assist kit brings safer, smoother tailgate operation to Ram pickups, reducing sudden drops and easing one‑handed closing. It works as both a controlled drop damper and a lift aid, helping protect hinge points and cables while making everyday loading and unloading less awkward. If you need a practical upgrade for a Ram truck, this unit improves handling and lowers wear on the tailgate over time.

Key features

The design focuses on gentle control and durability, so you notice less shock when lowering the tailgate and less effort when closing it. Orion Motor Tech Truck Tailgate Assist uses a damping mechanism that slows free fall and helps lift the tailgate, which can reduce strain on hands and hardware. Installation avoids drilling and tail light removal, keeping the job tidy and reversible. Expect a straightforward fit for many Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, and a kit that aims to extend the service life of your tailgate assembly. 🔧

You’ll appreciate it if you want a durable retrofit that focuses on function over flash. It might not be the right choice if you need a factory replacement part with exact OEM finish or if your truck requires custom mounting not covered by the listed compatibility. Installation needs basic hand tools, an M5 Allen wrench, 10 mm and 13 mm wrenches, a flathead screwdriver and pliers, and the kit avoids drilling for most supported models. 🧰
