Easy Lift Tailgate Assist Struts for your Ute

Giving You a Helping Hand with your Tailgate

Lighten your load with the HSP Tail Assist. An essential ute tailgate support product for your Ute. Available in a twin or single strut system, this innovative solution harmoniously dampens the tailgate when declining and or lightens the tailgate when inclining, making everyday ute use more convenient and less strenuous.

The HSP Tailgate Assist is available in a single or twin strut option. Twin struts are for vehicles without a torsion bar and provide both soft drop dampening and weight-reduced easy lift action. Single struts are designed for vehicles with a torsion bar, offering only soft drop dampening to complement the already reduced weight of the tailgate.

Easy to Install our Tailgate Assist System

The HSP Tailgate Assist range can be installed in just 5 to 45 minutes, depending on your vehicle. As the installation utilises factory points, almost every model requires no drilling and, in many applications, the original hardware and bolts of the vehicle are repurposed, providing a seamless, factory-integrated look. It’s fast, simple, and stress-free, you can install the HSP tail assist system at a professional workshop or in the comfort of your own home.

Tailgate Assist is Vehicle-Specific

While most companies offer a one-size-fits-all system, the HSP Tailgate Assist kit is specifically designed to suit your vehicle. Whether it’s the brackets, fixtures, or struts, our bespoke kits are tested and engineered to optimise performance and longevity, ensuring they work perfectly within the unique parameters of your 4WD.

Please Note: This tailgate assist has been designed using CAD data and verified through test fitting. However, variations in manufacturing tolerances among different ute models may result in minor fitment discrepancies. In some cases, these variations may lead to surface contact between the tailgate and the tailgate assist, or between the tub and the tailgate, potentially causing cosmetic wear over time.

Additionally, factors such as road vibrations and vehicle usage may contribute to wear and tear. As these factors are beyond our control, we cannot be held liable for any resulting damage. It is the responsibility of the end user to assess compatibility before installation and to monitor and maintain both the tailgate assist and the vehicle to prevent excessive wear. By proceeding with installation, the user acknowledges these risks.
