There was a thread out there of a member that did an awesome job of fabricating a custom tie down that works with the tailgate assist strut. I tried to add this post to that thread, but it has been closed for new replies. I'll link it HERE if you haven't seen it already. Well I was searching around Amazon as I'm not a big fan of the tie downs that rotate and clank around as opposed to fixed ones like the bottle opener you lose and found these TIE DOWNS that were made for a Tacoma but seem to be a very similar angle as the custom ones referenced above.
I took a shot and ordered a set for myself, but my truck is currently in production so I have no way to test for sure if they will work or not. I feel like the angle is sharp enough that it will clear the bed sidewall when closed, just like the custom ones do in the pictures from the previous thread. If not I'm sure it could be pinched and modified slightly to fit. Again, I have no proof that these will in fact work but I thought it was worth a shot and wanted to share my Amazon find. They're prime so they shouldn't be a big deal to return if they don't work out. Maybe these will help somebody else out before I even get my hands on my truck. If somebody does try them, please post some pictures of your results!
EDIT: finally got my truck and they work perfect! See pics in a later post in this thread
