Tailgate Ideas

[Hipster]

I'm thinking about getting a tailgate gas strut for my truck, as well as maybe installing a different tailgate latch design. Someone I know has a 2005 Chevy Silverado that seems to close with ease, instead of having to brute force the tailgate closed, like mine. Also found the 2007-13 generation Chevy tailgate latch design to be a potential candidate.

If the tailgate is too much for you to handle, I would investigate why it doesn't open and shut nice instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Mine open and closes easily enough but you do need to pull out your man card and pick it up.
