Finally found a 250 version of this mod....I have a 2022 and assume it would be the same...thx!
Did mine today very simple install works to perfection !
Cool as hell 👍
Thanks for this video. I want to install it on my 2018.
Just installed this on my 2019. It's awesome thanks for the videos. Would have never thought to order this! 👍
Buying one of these for my xlt after finding your video..thanks!
Link in the description brother! You will love it!
Great no "bs" explanation. Also, couldn't let you stay at 666 subscribers so, I'm your 667th subscriber. Keep up the good work.
I gotta have that!
I also used the Ford product for this. It's beautiful.
Nice.....you showed me a couple things I didn't even know I needed that I will be buying now. Cool little series!
Glad they helped you out brother!
I’m learning so much from your videos. I just installed my Bakflip MX4 took me all of 30 min thanks to you. Thank you.
That’s awesome Tim!
Great video. Helped a lot. I completed it on my own without assistance and without removing the tailgate altogether. Left the drivers side cable attached, lifted it up and let lay on an angle. I was able to access the lower bolt on the part you need to remove.
I just installed the same basic kit on my 2020 F150 XLT. The ball stud was already in place inside the tail light housing.but same procedure I bought mine on Amazon for $23.50. Nice detail on instructions
Nice videos you have of your XLT! You make it look easy, congrats.!
Thanks for watching Alain, glad you like them!
I used to option my trucks out the same way with the xlt surpreme package but instead of keeping the cloth I would get the dealer to change the cloth to leather. But for my 2018 I had to get the limited because I’ll be keeping this truck till I die.
alim vinca: I just picked up a lariat ultimate package last week and couldn't believe I spent whay I did.. I checked out a limited and 86k dollars wasn't in the cards for me! Lol but congrats on the limited that's one bad bitch!
You got another truck?
Awesome just installed mine on my 2021 after watching your video thx!
I install one on my truck f-150 2018 order from amazon 25 bucks i dint have to remove the tail gate i did by my self bus great video
Thanks for the video...My 2019 Lariat didn't come with this but it has one now. One thing that made it a little faster and easier is when I unhooked the tailgate I simply moved it away from the corner hinge while leaving it in place with a helper holding it and quickly replaced the hinge and put it back into place. I finished everything from there. Made it easier to not have to unplug and completely remove the tailgate...It's a great addition..
I’ll be be adding this to my 2020 lariat. Thanks and love the support Law Enforcement band 👍.
By the headlight what about the turn signal lights.
55k Trucks that don't have these accessories already installed....I'm soured by this, but I love my new F250 XLT :0
Get the tie downs for the bed. Most useful accessory I bought.
I think I have those in the lower 4 corners of the bed? I think that's what you are talking about or am I mistaken?
moostang09 Ford has a set of tie downs that attach to those four “plates” on the sides of the bed. Much larger than than the ones in there now. They’re not metal, so they might not be quite as strong. But much more useful. I believe they were around $80.
You already have the plates so it was installed on his truck, just the cleats arent on... maybe hiding in the back seat?? thats where mine were lol
Yes sir if those are what he is talking about they are in the packaging under my rear seat. I don’t want to leave them in just in case somebody else tries to steal them. Only use them when I need to.
They have a key so you can lock the to the plate
Great video, thanks for posting it. I have a quick question please about the performance. My issue is that when driving across anything that isn't perfectly smooth while I have my tailgate down, the tailgate jumps and bounces and yanks on the cables. It's extremely sensitive to any kind of bump. Have you noticed if this dampener keeps the lowered tailgate from jumping up and slamming back down under these conditions? Thanks.
Thanks. Great video. I had to replace my box after i jackknifed my trailer. 2020 F350 platinum. Local shop had the box but i messed up the hydraulic damper on my existing box. Had no idea how it all attached. Keep up the good work. not sure who the 16 people are that dont like. Pretty sure they go through and dislike every video they can.
I've watched all these install videos even though they don't pertain to me. you're welcome.
Thank you Dale! Mustang Content will make a return very soon!!
man i need this for my 2016
the one you list is for a F-150
@@jimlockwood2522 It is for an F250. F250 part numbers start with HC3Z while F150 part numbers start with FL3Z. It does have an F150 in the photo which is super confusing. Always make sure you check the part numbers first.
Dang bro, did I miss it or did you forget to thank your helper lol. Great videos!!!! Just bought my truck and because you I now want a damper, 2wd valance, and leather steering wheel! You don’t get credit for the linex tho, I already had that at top of my list.
I thanked him off camera, that is my father in law. Cool dude! Congrats on the new truck purchase man!! I bet you are loving it!!!!
This part # FL3Z-99406A10-A does not fit my 2019 F250. However, the directions for removing and prepping to install helped, I was 10 minutes from completion when noticed it wasnt going to fit.
It should be part number HC3Z-99406A10-A as linked in the description of the video. Not sure how that one came up bc that is for the f150... Did you get the amazon link from a different video of mine?
I bought one of these but it wouldnt bolt onto my truck. My part number matches the one you have tagged but my bolt holes do not line up for the hinge.
Make sure it is for the f250. Some guys have said they ordered the f150 Freon my link but I have double checked it and everything seems correct on my end.
@@moostang09 yeah you put the part number out there too and the one that i ordered matches that but it for sure is not for the f250 hahaha
Man I’m sorry. Amazon should take it back no problem. Did you google the part number you have to make sure it’s for a f250?
This is a much better solution than the Dee Zee contraption, with a lot less potential problems.
Is there anything to help lift the gate other than those torsion bar setup? My wife is a small person and lifting and closing the tailgate is quite a challenge for her.
Your videos are much better than most DIY videos on YT. Please keep up the good work.
Buddy of mine got the Dee Zee deal. The tailgate free fell 6-10 inches before the shock engaged. I was quickly convinced to go Fomoco. Instructions suck on it though. The worst being not mentioning that you are making the threads on the low bolt. Friendly tip, thread that bolt in from the backside first. It’s easier to work with since it’s more open.
Great video! Do you know if this will work on my 2016 F250?
Hey Ford ford man. You listed two different shock assist. I order the one listed under 250 mods. That one is for a F150. I am pretty sure. Thanks and enjoy you truck mods.
Good catch! I will update it to reflect the correct link. Thanks!!
FYI The kit from Amazon does not include the ball stud. At least mine did not. I got the complete kit from a Ford dealer.
I’ve got a metal ring around the hinge of my tailgate so I cannot take my tailgate off how do you get that piece off
Is that the OEM Ford tailgate dampener? I know you ordered it on Amazon. Wouldn't you order an OEM one from Ford itself? Thanks. I like it better that the Dee Zee dampener because yours isn't exposed like that one is.
It’s OEM. There are a ton of OEM parts on Amazon.
Thank you for the instruction. Very helpful. I just got the kit but there that ball bolt was not included. Where did you get that?
Mine came with the kit that I got from Ford.
Where is it the cheapest place to order this “OEM” tailgate strut from? Thx.
Can you help me, I can’t get the tailgate to align properly
You're slowly turning this thing into a lariat lol
Thanks Chad, I like doing this simple mods myself and I believe I am finding them for really good prices. For me it is better than financing a more expensive truck simply because of these parts. Now there are some things I love about the lariat I wish I had that I won’t install like keyless entry and remote start but these minor mods are enjoyable to install and use daily. Thanks for watching!
I have a 19 lariat it has a/c seats but no tailgate assist lol
@@jeremiahjk84 I got a 20 lariat with no tailgate assist. Those heated and cooled seats are nice though
@@brianhawkins184 yes sir they are
How did you unclip the wiring harness plugs so easily?
Push in first and then try to unclip them. For whatever reason it works!
They sure went up on the price since you got yours. It's now over 83 bucks. Great video but I had to go to ebay and find it for cheaper. lots cheaper even making sure it was OEM Ford.
The Amazon link is described as compatible with the 2017. Just making sure...is this compatible with the 2018?
Thanks, Dan

Ford HC3Z-99406A10-A Bed Tailgate
Yes sir, 2017-2019 are all be the same.
Thanks a million. Good video, I learned much from you.
has it weakened over time like most hydraulics dampeners do? looking to get one. rear wheel panels are a big upgrade if you do not have them.
I have not had any issues with and use it regularly. I think it’s a good purchase!
Are you sure about the P/N in your link for the damper kit? FL3Z-99406A10-A , the Ford dealer says this is for F-150's and that there is another specific P/N for the F-250, completely different number according to dealer. Just wanting to check before I order this. Thanks.
Do you know if the kit for the F-150 and the kit for the f250s are the same? Can you add the part # from the OEM dampener. I have the other parts, but I need to get the correct dampener.
F150 and 250 are different part numbers
Where can I purchase this item for my 2020 F350
U think the same part # would work on a 19 f350
I bet it would. Or you could car your local ford dealer and ask them the part number.. Fairway ford on
Ebay says it does1"7 thru 21 Ford Super Duty F250 F350 OEM Ford Tailgate Damper Kit"
I don't know if you have one, but you should invest in a Mic it will help up the quality on the vids. Keep truckin man
I have a Rode Videomic Pro.
I think it sounds weird bc the camera and mic were in the bed of the truck and the reverb from the bedside was making it funny sounding.
moostang09 it could be my tv also, but I always have to turn up the volume on your vids
Thanks for the feedback! I will make the adjustment on my camera in my next video. 👍🏻
I’m shocked the truck didn’t already have it
George S Mine didn’t either,I had to do the same thing on my 2017 F150! Fords top XLT option lacks the dampener, lacks auto climate control with separate controls ,and lacks the auto4wd transfer case . My buddies Silverado has all these things on his similarly optioned 2LT Silverado 1500.....to get them on a Ford you have to order a Lariat or add them yourself....
George S the reason these trucks don't have the tailgate dampener is because the XL and XLT are basic work truck models the larait model on up has them because they are more luxury and refinment
I own a 2017 f 250 lariat diesel and I had no tailgate dampener.
Depends on how they order it. My 2019 F-250 Supercrew Lariat didn't have one either but it does now
How did you get your Ford dealership to price match?
Does this part number work for a 2020
Yes sir, installed one on my dads 2020 about a month ago. 👍🏼
Awesome, that's what I needed to know! Keep up the great work on your videos!
Does this reduce the effort required to lift and close the gate as well? If so, by how much?
No sir, still has the same weight to me to close it. Just slows the drop.
@@moostang09 Thanks!
Hey bud. Your part number for the tailgate shock is for an F150. Will NOT fit the 17-19 250.... come on.
When I checked it just now it takes me to HC3Z-99406A10-A which is the part number for a 2017-2019 F250. Was your comment based off of the photo on amazon? Bc they do use an F150 in the photo but the HC3Z-99406A10-A is the correct part number. Copy and paste it into google and you will see...
the only good thing about not having the damper is if u did not close the back properly u can feel it drop
