Oh I did also removed my plastic tailgate bed cover (GM orinigal) because I would really like to mount my Bushwacker tailgate cap to match the side rails but it has a built in tailgate cap on it. So one or the other has to go. Today I just removed it and cleaned everything up and remounted it. All while wondering what I'm gonna do to trim it or whatever.
I did also mess with the gmt800 DeeZee easy-down tailgate assist kit with the piston deal.
Why the hell do they not make one for the gmt400? I can only find the "assist rods" that make the tailgate feel lighter not the let it down easy.
At any rate pretty sure I can make the gmt800 unit work with a modified lower bracket and mounting location in the bed side by the taillight but ran out of wrench time to get it in today. Will try to document that when it happens.
