Installing this hydraulic lift support on the RAM 3500 is very simple. However, it is advisable, contrary to what is indicated in the video, to complete the installation over two days, allowing the glue on the bolt to dry overnight.

After this operation is completed, the entire installation will be easier and more durable. The hydraulic piston - it is a single piston for the tailgate - can be found on Deezee.com for $39.95 (+ shipping).

The installation is really straightforward and presents no difficulties. No special tools or drills are needed.
