Description
Protects Top Edge of Tailgate Panel. If you’re using your truck to haul heavy loads for long distances, chances are, you’ve scraped or dented some parts of your truck bed, including your tailgate. This is why getting the Dee Zee Brite-Tread Tailgate Protector is a smart move. This protects the top edge of your tailgate panel from damage and adds a rigid surface that you won’t mind scratching. Not only that, but this tailgate cap also looks stylish and adds a bit of flair to your truck’s rear end.
High-Quality Aluminum Construction. The Dee Zee Tailgate Protector is made from durable yet lightweight aluminum. This is a rigid surface that won’t easily bend or break from regular use. Lastly, it comes in a polished silver finish to add a bit of style to your vehicle.
No Drilling Required. The Brite-Tread Tailgate Protector is easy to install and is great for anyone looking for a quick and convenient upgrade. There’s no drilling required, which means installing this to your truck uses factory mounting points.
Limited Lifetime Warranty. The Dee Zee Brite-Tread Tailgate Protector is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, meaning, it is free from defects in materials, workmanship, and design under normal use for the lifetime of the vehicle it’s originally installed on. Do note that this warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the product, and modification of any kind voids all warranty coverage.

Look great and work even better!
I was looking for a good tie down method for camping and dump runs etc. I bought a heavy duty spider web type net. These are PERFECT for accepting a caribener. Job of tying down is so much easier and I have gotten many compliments with and without a load. I am a very happy camper!

Easy-Peasy Install
Very simple install. After you remove the drivers side tail light it snaps right in. It works as it should.

Ez down
At first I was excited until I received the product and at first thought I had ordered the wrong product cause I thought I was missing parts. I then read the instructions and followed the steps and when I took out the driver's side taillight then I realized that the missing parts already was installed on the truck. Difficult part was removing the 2 plastic retainer clips that help hold the taillight assembly. Overall, super happy and glad I went with this easy addition to the truck. Makes lowering the tailgate with easy when your hands are full and don't have to worry about the tale gate slamming open!

Tailgate Assist Shock
This product was easy to install. The pictures in the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I’d rate it a about a 3 in technical skills an mechanical skills to install it as you have to take the tail light off to install it. Other than that. Works great. Recommend it.

Easy installation, works as intended. I haven’t noticed any difference in the tailgate dropping any faster than when it was initially installed a year ago.
