this is really nice now should make and sell themBack to the back, picked up a TMS tailgate assist strut, one of the cheaper kits on Amazon ($20). Decent quality and fit, works as designed, quick install, no clearance issues with the gate cable, and a great price.
Of course, when you add a strut kit, the factory tailgate tie down point has to be removed or the gate won't close. Came across the thread by @Dean S here where he had made his own replacement tie down bracket very simply and I ended up doing the same. Great idea Dean! Bent a piece of steel, welded a chain link to it, and powdercoated it black (I have a very basic home powdercoating kit like this one at Harbor Freight).
