Does the Tailgate EasyLift part # 74211 Dent Truck Tailgates
Updated 06/10/2014 | Published 06/08/2014 >
Question:
you said some thing about a slight bulge in the tail gate, I sure hope not, if this is so I will not install and would want a refund. also some one said that the holes that where drilled wore. should you drill a bigger hole and use a good grommet to prevent this.

Expert Reply:
The slight bulge that few have seen after installing Tailgate EasyLift part # 74211 that you referenced is not a permanent dent. It's just pressure from the rod on the tailgate when its in the down position. If the # 74211 was removed the bulge wouldn't be there.
We haven't heard of any issues of the holes wearing either. Only a review where a customer said that he hoped they didn't wear over time. Which we never heard back from the guy saying they did so I would not assume that would be a problem
