If you want to replace the tailgate tie down bracket that had to be removed to fit the assist strut, I've made a few that I'm selling.
Works well and clears the new strut and no issues with the cable. And made in the USA. I have a thread here in the For Sale forum.
My welder and skills are basic, I'm good with strong but still working on making a weld pretty. Tell you what, I'll give you my address where you can ship me a TIG welder which would help. 😁

In this thread, what is common among these photos besides the addition of the strut?

I've had the stainless Interceptor caps in the past, sold them a while ago. Info on the specific ones, including a part number, is in my old for sale thread here.
Just a bump - more available. I enjoy hands-on time in my workshop so I've been making a few here and there. Took a few pics of the fab process and added them to my initial post above.
A few notes -
