Has anyone looked into the Dee Zee EZ Down Tailgate Assist system? As we all know the tailgates on our Avalanches are rather heavy and come down fast. My kids can't open it safely and wife needs both hands to keep it from slamming down. I looked at the EZ Down system and think it's a great idea, but they do not offer it for the Avalanche? They offer it for the Silverado. Anyone ave an 08 Silverado and Avalanche to compare with?
My thought is that it is due to a weight difference. Thinking of buying two and doing it on both sides.
Here is the link to the demonstration video for those who have not seen it.

The best price I have found was at JEGS.com (http://www.jegs.com/p/Dee-Zee/Dee-Zee-Easy-Down/793535/12051/-1)
Any experience or thoughts on this topic would be appreciated. Some of the reviews are that they are cheap and break, but I found more that were favorable and it looks like a great safety feature with kids.
