Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video
John: Hey guys, John here from etrailer.com and today we are going to be installing the gate king on our 2017 Ram 1500 pickup. To demonstrate how the gate king works let's first see what our tailgate acts like without the gate king installed. So this operation will be normal with the gate king when we push our tailgate back up in place, that's where the gate king will stop it so we can basically put pressure on anything in the back of our pickup or to hold things up in place. With just our cables here, our tailgate's going to fall down at any angle that we have it at until we put it up back in place. So the gate king's installed now so let's see how it performs compared to how our initial tailgate was working. So we can still operate it like normal down and pushing it back in placebut when we want to use the gate king, pop the pins here and now we can adjust it at different stopping points all the way, depending on what kind of cargo we have in our truck bed. more

Stromberg Carlson Tailgate Installation - 2015 Ram 3500- Video
Hi there 3500 owners. Today on your 2015 Ram 3500 we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Stromberg Carlson's fifth wheel or gooseneck Louvered Tailgate. This eliminates the issue of you having to lower your tailgate down every time you want to back up to hook up your fifth wheel trailer. You can just back right up, hook up, and take off without ever having to even get out of the truck.The louvered design will allow air flow to go through it to help increase with your aerodynamics, to help improve fuel economy, and also to reduce wind noise. It also gives it a nice rugged look. Since the whole thing is made of a lightweight plastic, it's going to be significantly lighter than your original tailgate. more

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Lowering System Installation - 2013 Ram 2500- Video
Hey guys, it's Jake here with eTrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the DeeZee tailgate assist. What this is going to do is it's going to take the weight of your tailgate and slow it down and actually take the weight away from you and just allow the tailgate to slowly set down.We've all had those times when we are trying to open up the tailgate while carrying something and you can't hold the whole weight of the tailgate with one hand. Now you can see how much easier it is to open that tailgate and just let it drop and let the piston take the weight while you're still holding whatever you're holding. It's going to have a very low profile and non-invasive design, which is going to look really, really good when you close up your tailgate and you can't see it at all.When your lifting your tailgate into place it's going to have no resistance of when you're putting your tailgate back into closed position, but then when you see when you drop it it's going to take that weight and rest it easy.As you can see here, we do have a little bit of wear on the rubber coating on our cable and what will happen over time, that cable will begin to rust and if someone we're to drop your tailgate full force you could risk breaking those cables. This tailgate assist is not only going to make it easier to lower your tailgate, but it's also going to prolong the longevity of your cables on your tailgate.Now I'll go ahead and show you how to get everything installed. more
