Im still confused as to how or why your install as different than others on the forum like myself that have installed it. My assist definitely rubbed against the screw. Anither guy brought up the issue with Deezee and they blamed it on Ford changing the final design Tsupposedly they added a screw? Their explanation sounded suspect).
I don’t understand why it’s an issue even if it does rub? So some black comes off the strut or the screw head rusts…can be replaced for $1

It sounds like you are thinking of it wrong. These are not lift helpers. They dont help the tailgate go up. They just help on the way down so it doesnt slam. It doesnt affect the two positions. I have one.
THANK YOU SIR

I just bought the assist yesterday at the dealer with some of my reward points so no cost to me other than buying the truck lol! otherwise I was going to buy it on the Ford website with the 20% off. Sadly you can’t use points and get a discountšŸ˜•
