Replacement Hardware for DeeZee Tailgate Assist for 2016 Ram 1500

Question

Question:

I purchased and Installed the DEEZEE tailgate lifter for 2016 DODGE RAM 1500. Worked great for several months but just had the retaining ring break. Now the top part wont stay connected to the top attachment point. Should be an easy fix if I can get a replacement retaining ring. Thanks!
