Hey Charles, thanks for reaching out!

You should be able to use both the DeeZee tailgate-lowering system and the Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist # 74211 without them working against each other. We've reached out to DeeZee in the past and they've said the parts haven't been tested together, but they should work.

Worst-case scenario is that your tailgate kind of hangs in a state of "limbo" but that shouldn't happen.

Let me know what you think once you get it installed!

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
