Question Tail-Gate-Easy-Lift

Has anyone installed a Tail-Gate-Easy-Lift on their truck? I picked one up today at my Fleet Farm store. $18.00. It's a torsion bar that is suppose to help take the weight off the gate when opening or closing. I'll have to wait for warmer weather to install.

I installed it today, and it works great. Tailgate now works easy like the new models. One hand operation now. www.hopkinsmfg.com
Reasonable and easy mod.

I got it at a fleet farm store but I doubt you would have one of those.

www.hopkinsmfg.com is the company. It really does work nice.
