ProMaxx RTX5008 Tailgate Damper for Ford Super Duty - 2017-2020

The ProMaxx RTX5008 Tailgate Damper is a direct-fit upgrade designed to control the lowering speed of the tailgate on 2017–2020 Ford Super Duty trucks. This viscous dampening assembly replaces or adds a soft-close mechanism at the tailgate pivot point, preventing the gate from dropping hard and slamming open under its own weight.

Key Features:

• Viscous damper mechanism provides smooth, controlled tailgate lowering
• Eliminates tailgate slamming for a quieter, more controlled operation
• Direct-fit replacement designed specifically for 2017–2020 Ford Super Duty trucks
• Installs at the tailgate hinge/pivot point with no permanent modifications required
• Durable construction built to withstand repeated daily use

The RTX5008 is an ideal solution for Super Duty owners looking to add or restore the soft-open tailgate function. Installation is straightforward and typically requires no special tools, making it a practical upgrade for protecting your tailgate, cargo, and truck bed from impact damage.
