My tailgate, when open, angles a little lower than level with the bed. Is this normal? Both cables would have to be the wrong length.

It seems that is the norm, as well as the cables being slightly different lengths.

Oh man if I could count how many times this has been asked. Search up top and you will see many different opinions on it.

Yes this is "normal" as already mentioned by previous members too, and the cables are different-uneven as well.

Mine goes a little negative. But only the right cable is stretched tight, there's slack in the left. Not a lot but you can tell.

I just got 8 pages of posting returned by searching "tailgate cable".
