- The DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43103 will just make sure that your tailgate doesn't fall down super hard when you open it.

- According to my contact at DeeZee, their # DZ43203 Tailgate Assist is compatible with tailgate step equipped models of the 2011 F250.

- The Stromberg/ Carlson Fifth Wheel Tailgate you referenced # VGD-10-100 does not have a handle, and therefore would not open and close like an OEM tailgate.

I've linked the instructions for both parts so you can take a look.

- 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.

- No according to DeeZee the Custom Tailgate Assist part # DZ43203 can only be used on the driver's side of the tailgate.

The slot that allows the tailgate to be removed on the passenger's side has an additional bracket for support that will interfere with the attachment point on the Custom Tailgate Assist.

- Fifth wheel towing is not supposed to be done with the truck's tailgate down. This would cause clearance issues between the trailer and the tailgate which would damage the tailgate pretty quickly around corners. Normally you would lower the tailgate to back up and connect to the fifth wheel hitch and then you would raise the tailgate after.
The Curt Crosswing part # C92DR was not designed to provide additional clearance.

view full answer... - Can Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars GK74FR Lock The Tailgate In Flat Position?
- The Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars # GK74FR does not lock the tailgate down in the flat position. When the latching pins are engaged and the tailgate is lifted, the support bars will lock into the first position and so on. This will keep the tailgate from dropping all the way down and it will stay in that locked position until lifted up. This will not stop the tailgate from lifting up as you can simply lift the tailgate to lock it into the next catch position. I attached a helpful demonstration...
