Expert Answers about Tailgate


  • Bike Tailgate Pad For 2 Bikes That Does Not Cover Entire Tailgate
  • A tailgate pad for 2 bikes that only covers half the tailgate is indeed something you can get. It is made by Kuat and is technically a half-pad, with the correct part being the following: - Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Bike Pad for Trucks - 2 Bikes # KU49ZR The # KU49ZR is only 25 inches wide, so it won't even take up half the tailgate since most trucks nowadays have tailgates in the 60+ inch range.

  • Is There A Tailgate Assist Available For A 2004 Dodge Dakota?
  • I do have a solution for you, however, there are no tailgate assist products that are made specifically for your 2004 Dodge Dakota. Your best bet is to go with Hopkins Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist # 74211. This is a universal tailgate assist that uses a torsion bar to take on the weight of your tailgate, thus making the tailgate much easier to raise and lower. You will need to drill a hole in the tailgate and in the bed in order to install this. I have attached a demonstration video for you.

  • Tailgate Lift Assist and Tailgate Liner for 2018 Ram 1500 with 8-Foot Bed.
  • You can use the DeeZee Custom Tailgate Assist kit # DZ43301 on your Ram 1500 but the Hopkins EasyLift # 74211 does not fit your Ram. For a tailgate liner I recommend Bedrug's 3/4-inch thick carpet-over-foam tailgate liner # BMT02TG if you want a cushioned surface for working (or sitting). This is shown in the included photo. Or use the WeatherTech thermoplastic liner # WT3TG04 if you want tough protection for the tailgate from dings and dents.

  • Availability of BOLT Locking Tailgate Handle for 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic
  • The best bet for a locking tailgate handle for your 2007 Silverado Classic would be to use the Pop & Lock Power Tailgate Lock, part # PAL8110. If your truck doesn't already have power locks, you'd also need the switch kit, part # PAL9520. According to my Bolt representative, the tailgate handle assembly of the 1999-2006 and 2007 Classic model Silverado is completely different that that of the 2007 New Body and 2008 to present locking tailgate handles. The tailgate handles of the older...

  • Availability of Tailgate Assist for 2001 Dodge Ram 1500
  • We do offer a tailgate assist for your 2001 Dodge Ram from Hopkins, part # 74211. The Hopkins EasyLift is a torsion spring that helps control the descent of the tailgate when you're opening it but the spring action removes much of the weight of the tailgate which allows you to close the tailgate with one hand. The DeeZee tailgate assist controls the descent, but offers no assist in raising the tailgate. DeeZee doesn't offer a model that's compatible with a 2001 Ram, the # DZ43300 wasn't...

  • Availability of Truck Tailgate Assist System for 2010 Chevy Silverado
  • We have the DeeZee # DZ43102 Tailgate Lowering Assist that's compatible with your truck, but the Hopkins EasyLift # 74211 won't work with the current generation Silverado because of the way its tailgate is constructed. Rather than assist with raising the tailgate like the EasyLift does, the DeeZee product helps lower the tailgate.

  • Availability of a Fifth Wheel Tailgate For 2006 Ford F-150 Flareside
  • I do have fifth wheel tailgates listed for a 2006 Ford F-150, but they do not list if they fit a Flareside model. They do list them by the width of the truck bed. If you can measure the width of your truck bed width on your Flareside vehicle you will be able to tell if one of the tailgates we have will fit. I have the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate, part # VG-04-100 and the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel LouveredTailgate, part # VG-04-4000. These tailgates will...

  • Is Tailgate Lift Assist Available For 2014 Ram 1500
  • I called my contact at Hopkins and asked about a tailgate assist for your 2014 Ram truck. They told me they do not have a tailgate lift assist for any of the later model trucks. I wish I had a lift that would work for you but we do not have any that will work for your 2014. We do offer a tailgate-lowering system that will work for your Ram. It is the DeeZee Tailgate Assist, part # DZ43301. I have attached a link to an installation video for this system on a 2014 Ram you can check out.
