Tame your Mazda BT-50 tailgate with this complete Nitro Struts Easy-Up & Slow-Down assist kit. The factory tailgate is heavy and drops fast — this kit fixes both problems at once, giving you a controlled, gentle drop on opening and a hand-assisted lift on closing.
Why Owners Choose Nitro Struts
- ✅ Australian Owned — assembled in Melbourne from quality components with 30+ years of gas strut experience
- ✅ OEM-Quality Spec — direct replacement, no modifications needed
- ✅ Sold as a Pair — includes both left and right struts for a complete replacement
- ✅ 24 Months Replacement Guarantee — full replacement for peace of mind
- ✅ Fast Dispatch
Installation Notes
Most owners fit this kit in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools. It's fully bolt-on — no drilling, no cutting. Read the included instructions through once before starting. Park on level ground, fit one side at a time so the tailgate remains supported, and torque the mounting bolts firmly but don't over-do it (these bolt into tailgate sheet metal). If you're not confident, any auto mechanic can fit it in under an hour.
Why Fit This Kit
- Tailgate crashes down when released — risk to legs, dogs, and tools
- You need two hands and a strong back to close the tailgate
- Factory cables are stretched and the tailgate hangs unevenly
- Loading and unloading is a pain you want to fix once

Had to buy T40 & T50 to remove bolts once removed struts were easy to install. Working well.
As above
