Do a "Search" and all your questions should be answered.

I'm being told No because the part that actually dampens the tailgate is not part of the tailgate but the bed itself.

37, I do watch the forum, and as far as the tailgate assist, a search on gas hinge doesn't bring back any valuable results. Please grant new members a benefit-of-doubt that they didn't use search terms that are common to others who have been here longer.

With that said....

Folkstitan, Welcome to the forum, and there is a current discussion going on regarding installation of the '5 tailgate assist mechanism onto the '4 titans, and that thread is located in one of the vendor forums... here....

Easygate tailgate assist

Although this thread has degraded over time with posts by a user (tom) experiencing issues specific with his truck, there is valuable information in there.. in that it looks like the stock '5 bed may be made differently to support the new mechanism for the tailgate assist. But no one has really stepped up yet to confirm nor deny that info.

on titanifo.com there is a guy claiming he put on a o5 assist on his 04, the parts DO fit, BUT you do ahve to drill into the bodywork a little to accomidate the new hinge ball. also the new hinge is unpainted so he says that has to be painted too.

Pugsly has sinced learned not to trust people on forums anymore.

Looks like he changed his mind. From link above:
"SORRY GUYS I WAS WRONG ON THE QUICK INSTALL OF DAMPANED TAILGATE AFTER FURTHER LOOKING I DID SEE YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE WORK TO DO TO INSTALL...I CAN BE DONE BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER BRACKET AND SOME SHEET METAL WORK SORRY AGAIN..."

Don't blame me. I'm just the messenger.
