Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

The media could not be loaded. I am so happy I made this purchase. Will save my back wear and tear for sure. While the instructions were ok they are a little vague. I like pictures so had to look up install video otherwise may have had to redue some steps. I hope they decide in the very near future to put 1” as well as 2 1/2” bolts in the assembly package. Trailers in general have wheel wells and frankly I can’t believe no one mentioned this in any reviews. Those areas take a much shorter bolt. Good thing I have a treasure chest of tools. I had a cutting wheel & Tap & Die set to rethread the bolt after cutting at 1”. This added about an hour + to my project. No biggie as I know it’s “Always” something so I planned the entire day thinking it would take me 2 - 2 1/2 hrs and actually took me a bit over 4 hrs. Honestly I only needed one of these installed. When I put the second one on it pulls the gate up. The product is made too well in that sense. Since I had it installed I just assembled it very slack. It’s littlerally no effort to open or close. A nudge and it about closes itself. No more moaning and groaning after a long day at work bending over that last time to lift that god awful 75lb floppy gate. Great product with only mention of the additional (8) 1”-1.5” bolts just to address any wheel wells that require a much shorter bolt as most people don’t just happen to have a Tap & Die kit & grinder with a diamond cutting blade laying around. Charge $15-$20 more to cover their costs and people won’t have to go to extremes or make a trip to ACE hardware. Well done Gorilla Incorp!

The media could not be loaded. These were easy to install and they work great. My gate is pretty heavy and my back is about all used up. I also like that my 13yr old daughter can lift the gate easily in case I can't do it or something.

Works like the video , instructions real good and clear. I was a little sceptical about them working with a pipe railI asked before purchasing and was told it will work and may have to buy longer bolts, which I did do. End resultfit like a glove , works great a real back savor. The price was fair and delivery was fast.

My friend installed this for me. It only took about 1 1/2 hours. Very easy. I recommend getting a good quality drill bit. Not cheap but drilled through the steel quickly. Works great. I can lift the ramp with two fingers

It puts together easier than it looks. Just have some good drill bits. You don't have to cut the bolts after installation, but do so only if they protrude out obviously. I used frog tape along the top rail so I could mark the holes to drill. Makes it a lot easier to drill and assemble. Once together it works fantastic.

Once you get the holes all drilled it is easy to install. It takes awhile to get all the holes drilled due to the size of them. The rest is a breeze to do. The lift worked perfectly & the tailgate can be raised & lowered with one finger. It looks nice on the trailer & customer was very pleased with it. The double springs are very tough & should give years of service. Worth every penny.

My back is happy 😃. This lift system for your trailer tailgate is incredible. I can lift my 300lb gate with two fingers now. The only thing I don’t like is not being able to fold my gate flat onto the trailer because of the way the connections for the lift cables stick out too far on the gate to clear the side rails. I also had to cut out a bit of the end of the trailer rails so the cables wouldn’t rub.

It was perfect for me working really well. Saved my back
