I have a 2008 RAM 1500 SXT with the Rhino liner on the bed which makes the tail gate heavier. Will the shock arm be able to handle this?

Absolutely!! it works with my spray on liner and tailgate cap with ease, you'll wonder what the heck you've waited for all these years, I did. Bear

It's pretty heavy duty. You can barely push the shock in by hand. Just be SURE you install it exactly like the directions say. I failed to tighten it properly and I've had trouble with it here and there. Still works well though. Just a little tweaking every now and again.

Have a 2013 ram 1500 with rhino from factory. The dee zee works fine . But will suggest going to dee zee site and verify part number before ordering.

YES, With Ease....I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab Laramie with the same liner. The shock handles the tailgate weight just fine. I love mine and wish I had installed it sooner then I did. It's a great add on and should be on all trucks in my opinion.

I use this Tonneu on a 2012 Ram 1500 and that is not an issue at all. The four clamps are within the bed itself, and the cover just overlaps onto the tailgate. There is no parts of the Tonneu that come near interfering with the locking mechanism of the tailgate. Great product for an amazing value compared to other Tonneu cover!

Absolutely will. I ran this in my 4x4 stampede with no issues. Easy to install and crazy strong.

Almost definitely. The rivet pivots the lead arm section. If your shock has the notches, it will will work.

I've never tried it but I'm certain it would. With that said, I wouldn't recommend this approach without including a shock mount in the mix.

It's heavy but, I have lowered it out of the bed of a pickup with help from another. Liftgate is preferable.

sorry for delay, been away. no,i dont think you could steady it enough to work. if you have a large dog you really need to be able to secure it good and not have a steep angle.i have dodge nitro & dodge ram and i couldn't get it to work good. the dogs are a lab & pointer.

Yes, I have rhino over the rails and all is good. Either way you should be fine.

Probably not. You need to determine your trucks range of motion, like Dusdaddy commented, but not just droop but also distance when the arm is against the stops as well then find a shock with this range.Chances are someone on the internet in a forum has done the same lift and can recommend an appropriate shock.

I assume by "truck cap" you are referring to a tonneau for the bed of the truck. If that assumption is correct, then I doubt the lift-o-mat gas shocks will do the job. I have them to support lightweight cabinet doors, just as in the picture. They are not heavy duty items, and they don't seem to last very well. I recommend contacting the truck cap manufacturer for the correct part. Auto part stores and places like Home Depot may be good sources for new parts. Just measure the length of the existing pistons when collapsed and extended. Also, you should be able to get some information on the amount of weight the new piston will support. Good luck.

Yes it will be fine. I ran mine into a low fence at a little over 60mph and it survived. The clearance under the fence was 3 inches and the truck stopped instantly under the compression. Broke a front body post but the chassis was just fine.

It shouldn't cause you any problems, unless you have a Bed liner that sits up above the sides of the bed and tail gate. The mounting brackets secure to the (top) sides of the bed, the black square frame is formed around them. As long as your bed liner doesn't hinder that from happening you should be fine. Enjoy your purchase.

Works fine on my 09 Chev Silverado. It doesn't swing down so you won't be able to lower the tail gate while it's attached to your truck. I attached it to a 2" ball mount so I could easily put it on and take it my truck.

Yes , It will , hope you have the shocks, and other equipment . for towing something

no more than 2lbs and yes it will. I've had it on my stock slash for years. Great Item, doesn't affect perfomance

Each truck bed layout can be different. I suggest you check with DeeZee for actual fit for Dodge. As far as the product goes, this is a very heavy duty rubber that can protect the truck bed from rocks thrown in or other heavy objects. I would remind you, the sides of the bed are not protected like the floor would be with this product. I also installed the same product on the tailgate for added protection from my spouses rock hauling! This does provide more protection from dents than spray in liners do. If heavy hauling is not a regular thing on your agenda, look at BEDRUG for a complete carpeted bed and sides that can take a lot of abuse. I've used/installed both and prefer the BEDRUGS also available from Amazon.com

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.
