An easy-up and down kit is an innovative automotive accessory designed to enhance the functionality and convenience of a vehicle's tailgate. These kits are commonly used in pickup trucks and bakkies, where the tailgate can be heavy and challenging to control during opening and closing. By incorporating gas struts or dampers, the system provides smoother operation, reducing effort and improving safety.
The "slow-down" feature ensures that when the tailgate is unlatched, it lowers gradually rather than dropping abruptly. This controlled descent minimizes the risk of injuries and prevents wear and tear on the tailgate's hinges and latch mechanism. On the other hand, the "easy-up" function reduces the force required to lift and close the tailgate. It uses tensioned support to counterbalance the weight, making operation effortless even for those with limited strength.
