A-Premium Tailgate Assist Shock Strut Replacement for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2002-2009)

Overview

Refresh the feel of your Dodge Ram tailgate with the A-Premium Tailgate Assist Shock Strut Replacement. This straightforward upgrade is designed for classic Ram models from 2002 through 2009, replacing the rear left-hand tailgate support to deliver a more controlled, gradual lowering of the tailgate. With a focus on reliability and ease of use, it offers a dependable alternative to a heavy, abrupt drop, helping you manage a smoother unloading and closing routine in everyday driving.

Fitment and compatibility

The tailgate shock is tailored for:

• Dodge Ram 1500 (model years 2002–2008)
• Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (model years 2003–2009)
• Rear tailgate, left side (driver’s side) installation

If you’re updating an older Ram, this replacement aligns with the original design, offering an OE-style mount and a direct swap to restore familiar tailgate action.
