        Specs. The Rugged Ridge tailgate assist kit comes with everything you need to install a gas shock onto your Wrangler's tailgate. It can be installed in under an hour and still provide lasting results.

        Construction. If you have installed a larger heavier spare tire on your tailgate it can make it more difficult to open. This kit does a great job preventing your tailgate from closing accidently when loading or unloading things from your trunk.

        Application. For use with 2007 - 2010 JK Wranglers.

        My 2010 has the rear speaker, so I assume it will interfere with the mounting bracket?

        • No, the Rugged Ridge Tailgate Assist Kit will not work if the jeep is equipped with a subwoofer.

          Works great

          Works as intended Easy install. If you have a factory subwoofer it can be more challenging drilling a couple of the screws but it can be done.

          Tailgate Assist

          I didn't like the idea of the Tailgate swinging closed every time I tried to load something in the back. This was easy to install and works great to hold the Tailgate open while loading my golf clubs in the back. This only took about 30 minutes to install. The only issue I had was there were only 5 Screws and 5 Lock Washers in the bag, there should have been 6 of each.

          Fast, easy, and it works

          I use my jeep as a DD and with two kids I'm constantly getting in the rear cargo area for something. I was tired of having to push against the tailgate to keep it open and have to reopen it every time a body wasn't holding it open. This thing works perfect. Comes with the tools and bits needed to install and can be put on in under 10 minutes. I love it! Should have come from the factory like this!

          Great product! Makes all the difference!

          I received this product as a gift and it is perfect. Before having it I would always struggle to hold the tailgate open and load my gear in the back. With this product I don't have to worry about that. The tailgate stays open until I'm ready to close it. Installation was very simple and took about 30 minutes.

          Worth it!

          Great product for the weekend warrior and daily driver. This thing helps me when I'm doing one-man work as well as getting groceries out of the back. Worth the small investment.

        My experience with Extreme Terrain has been outstanding. I have been able to find everything I want on their website and more! I have used other offroad websites and so far this one is my favorite one.

        My dad would always take me trail riding in the Pine Barrens as a kid when I lived in South Jersey, so I’ve always been into four wheel drive trucks and Jeeps. When the time came for me to get a vehicle, I picked up an old Cherokee. I still have that old Jeep strictly for offroading, but after a few...
