Many people have been asking about this.
I'll give Taz all the credit as this was his idea from the beginning. He shared it with me and I said go for it. Ordered what was needed, When the parts came in. he started working on it. He had some challenges so he asked for my input. I gave him ideas and told him to commit to cutting, it was the only way to find out. We are fabricators so he dug into it. I went back into the house. A little after an hour later he calls me to check this out....

I was impressed!
Parts are
Dee Zee tailgate assist shock for late model F150
EB tailgate cable from your preferred EB parts vendor. (We used only 1 side so we can do modification to another tailgate with another shock)
Cutting and welding to tailgate is required. I don't have measurements as Taz did this on his own. It was his mock-up from the start.
