Hey Sean,
The Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist # 74211 is going to be the only option we currently have confirmed to fit your Silverado that would help with both lifting and lowering your tailgate. This torsion bar will require drilling into the bed as well as the tailgate in order to install. I've attached a short video below where Rob will display how this works.

Hey Sean, how did things go with the Hopkins EasyLift tailgate assist on your Silverado? Did it make lifting and lowering the tailgate any easier? Your update could make it easier for others with the same truck.
