Hey everyone 👋

We have just finished the upgrade of our Tailgate Gas Struts and Retractable Ratchet Straps.

Buy directly with the link"https://www.amazon.com/promocode/A268DVT80U1VRD", 20% discount for both, exclusive for MTC.

You guys have been amazing with all the feedback, and we’ve been listening carefully. Here’s what’s new 👇

Gas Struts

1. Stronger Support
— Made of premium carbon steel, it prevents the tailgate from sagging and ensures long-term stability.

2. More Stable Damping — Equipped with a high-strength piston seal that prevents hydraulic oil leakage and provides a controlled, smooth tailgate drop for improved safety and usability.

3. Greater Durability — Features an advanced protective coating that resists rust and corrosion caused by rain, dust, and daily wear, extending the product’s lifespan.

Retractable Ratchet Straps

1. Improved Elastic Strap Port
— Based on feedback from multiple customers about deformation issues, we’ve redesigned the structure and replaced the original plastic plate with a metal one to ensure this problem won’t happen again.

Since the factory tailgate tie-down has to be removed for the gas strut to be installed, a replacement tiedown that will work with the gas strut should be included as part of the kit.
This is what I use to replace

I would rather keep the price of the tailgate assist damper low and choose my own replacement tailgate tie down. Something that I deem sufficient.
Another example of why we should keep them separate. If I ever have to replace the tailgate damper, I have no reason to replace a tie down.


When you install a tailgate assist damper, you're going to have to remove one of the factory tie downs. When replacing it.
For overall strength, you can't beat a tie down that is attached at two points. the top and the side. Such as this one that is built and sold by Lane one of our own members.

And it should be clearly stated for new owners so they don't order and find it out later. My bed extender requires these tiedowns. Learned the hard way and wasted time.

I agree, with our short box a lot of hauling is done with the tailgate down. I would rather have the tie down than the damper.
