These are tricky to mount, but if you make SURE they are fully extended when you fasten them to the tailgate, the units will fold into the pocket properly. I had to elongate my holes in the tailgate about 1/4| because I didn't do this. No problem though since my truck isn't painted yet. I just welded up the unneeded part of the hole.

I've installed these, and it looks like they are going to work well. The rubber grommets will keep the tailgate from rattling. It appears the mechanism will not nick the paint, which was one of my main concerns.

Part 100265S - Tailgate Parts

The instructions were clear and accurate. Templets were the best part. Had no problems with a cut off wheel and drill,grind to purfect fit. The stainless bolts make the intrusion on the sides a little more bareable to the eye, I was a little worried but turned out not to be too noticeable. Two guys sitting on tailgate at 450+ works great!!!

The links function well. I liked the nice template that was sent with them for tailgate modification.
