Pirate Camp Co state it uses the existing torsion bar, which is what eliminates the need for a second strut. The damper is gassed and oiled specifically for this tailgate rather than a generic bonnet strut pressed into the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas tailgate damper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing else is needed. One damper and the mounting hardware is the whole kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes fitting this require drilling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Pirate Camp Co state the kit fits with no drilling and no modifications. It is a hand tool job on one side of the tailgate and takes very little time. Because nothing is cut or drilled, the tailgate goes back to standard operation if you ever remove the damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need two dampers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a single damper kit and it works alongside the factory torsion bar, which is already doing half the job on the other side. Fitting a second damper is not required and would fight the factory setup rather than improve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does it actually change?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePirate Camp Co state the damper lowers the tailgate smoothly and gently rather than letting it slam, and stops it dropping quickly or unexpectedly. That is the safety case as much as the convenience one. A tailgate that falls through the last part of its travel is what dents tailgates and catches shins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this made in Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pirate Camp Co state it is 100 per cent Australian made, and the damper is gassed and oiled for this tailgate weight rather than being a generic strut adapted to fit. That matters. An overgassed strut holds the tailgate part open and an undergassed one does nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pirate Camp Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45168580755656,"sku":"P-1394","price":138.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7890\/1704\/files\/SB-008a.jpg?v=1786322305","url":"https:\/\/nextgenranger.com.au\/products\/ford-ranger-next-gen-tailgate-damper-kit-pirate-camp-co","provider":"NXG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
