Its not bad, but is there, sorry I didn't mention it. Not trying to hide anything. Let me know if you guys want more pictures of it to see it.
Ok. Its all good. I was just checking. Sometimes pictures play tricks on your eyes. Haha. Anyways, is there any way you can put a flat edge/level on the gate at the top and the bottom and show me how much of a bow it is? Thanks.

The slight bow is not gonna be a problem with fitment. It will still mount up fine. I have seen tailgates with a huge bow at the top and bottom and they still work and fit.
