For proud owners of pickup trucks, making things even more accessible is a great idea for so many reasons. Whether rocking an open setup or keeping things shielded with a tonneau cover, your truck bed has to be easy to reach. And that’s where our Tailgate Assist kits come in…
Taking the work out of opening your tailgate
Our Tailgate Assist kits really are clever. In fact, they’re so clever, they take all the effort out of opening and closing your pickup truck’s tailgate. The system uses Stabilus gas struts to make the experience fluid from start to finish. The struts work in harmony to lower and lift the tailgate of your pickup truck with ease.
With most kits offering full, two-way assistance, Tailgate Assist delivers convenience and practicality that counts, whether you use your pickup truck for work, leisure or a bit of both.
One-hand operation that’s gentle, quiet and easy
You just need one free hand to operate the Tailgate Assist mechanism, and with the experience gentle and quiet, accessing your truck bed is made easy every time.
Our ARB Tailgate Assist kits use an innovative design and high-quality components to ensure smooth operation. This means no more noisy and potentially damaging sudden tailgate drops when your hands are full. By installing Tailgate Assist on your truck, you’ll minimise hinge pin wear that is common over time and with manual handling.
A rigorously tested system that works on and off the road
As with any ARB upgrade, the Tailgate Assist system has been put through its paces to ensure the highest quality outcome for each and every one of our customers. The gas struts that sit at the centre of this design are built to last. They also counter the excessive vibration all tailgates produce, especially when navigating tougher terrains.
Easy to install, vehicle-specific kits with all the components
As one of the world’s leading 4×4 upgrade brands, providing complete solutions is what ARB is particularly good at. Their Tailgate Assist kits are designed with your specific vehicle make and model in mind, a fact that makes installation extra straightforward. We’ll let Unsealed 4×4 Magazine explain just how simple installing Tailgate Assist really is:
“How hard are they to install? A piece of cake, if you can change a tyre you can install this at home yourself… If I could give the kit six stars out of five I would. Everything bolted up easily, the instructions were detailed and clear and the only tricky part was getting four pesky Torx head bolts out of the tailgate (I hate those things). It makes lifting the tailgate far easier, it’s a genuine one-finger exercise now.”
You need very few tools to complete installation, with just a torque wrench, socket driver, Torx socket, and various sockets or a spanner required in most instances.
We stock Tailgate Assist kits for a wide range of vehicle makes and models. This includes but is not limited to Toyota Hilux Series 8, Ford Ranger T6.1 PX4, Nissan Navara D23, and Mitsubishi L200 Series 5 and 6.
