We desperately need something like this. Last time I checked there was just no room for the strut on the Dakota after closing the tailgate.

Wow Dak.. 3 and a half years and you haven't just bought one? What's up with that? LoL...
You give one of the Moderators some grief when obviously all he was trying to do was help find an answer. Pulled a simple search and your old thread popped up. Not cool..
Especially when all it takes is a ruler and a quick visit to someone's 1500. Then measure out your Dak to see if it has the same space available. Don't the Dakotas and 1500s use the same tailgate cable?

Instead of being objective, try being proactive. Its a lot easier to read someone via typing when they are more humble.
Ex-nay the stabs at the end of your post. That was not necessary. If you have a problem with Jkeaton, or any member, take it up in the PMs.
To answer your question, I was under the impression that the only thing available was the "dual position" feature on the 3G"B" trucks. It is a mount that holds the cable so that the tailgate only travels half the distance to 90 degrees. But I agree, we need the strut assist in the worst way.

The cable length doesn't mean anything if there is no room behind the gate for the strut. Besides, I don't know anyone with a Ram of any kind. I could pick one in a parking lot or take a tape measure to my local Dodge dealer OR, what I was actually hoping, that someone who has actually done it could post here.

Also on a side note, I hate his Ram, I drove it today, got out and slipped on the OEM running board as the foot pad it to far forward.
