Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video

Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars Installation - 2016 Ram 1500

John: Hey guys, John here from etrailer.com and today we are going to be installing the gate king on our 2017 Ram 1500 pickup. To demonstrate how the gate king works let's first see what our tailgate acts like without the gate king installed. So this operation will be normal with the gate king when we push our tailgate back up in place, that's where the gate king will stop it so we can basically put pressure on anything in the back of our pickup or to hold things up in place. With just our cables here, our tailgate's going to fall down at any angle that we have it at until we put it up back in place. So the gate king's installed now so let's see how it performs compared to how our initial tailgate was working. So we can still operate it like normal down and pushing it back in placebut when we want to use the gate king, pop the pins here and now we can adjust it at different stopping points all the way, depending on what kind of cargo we have in our truck bed. more
