Haven’t yet. Got it in the mail had to make dinner. Hopefully tomarrow. If I’m not working late.

This was a SUPER easy install. Took longer to remove the tail light than to install the strut. Easy upgrade!

Yes, be careful with the tabs. I slightly cracked one of mine, but it didn't come all the way off.

Has anyone gotten a bad damper or had one go bad? I installed the OEM one I bought, it worked a handful of times very soft/smooth then it started only slowing the drop slightly but the gate still bounces a little at the end because it drops harder than I would expect?
