Tailgate bumper question
Finally getting the finishing touches done on my truck and I have a gate bumper problem. I got a pair of the upper bumpers and installed those (fleetside) and I got a pair of lower bumpers that I'm not sure where they go. They are hard rubber square ones with a screw hole in the middle. I have repop bedsides and there are no predrilled holes anywhere for these. Anyone have a pic of where they go??
Thanks, Bob

Re: Tailgate bumper question
Good question Bob D....I have the same issue....Maybe someone could measure down from the center of their top bumper and give us a dimension so we can drill our own hole??...Since a picture speaks 1000 words, that would be greatly appreciated too!!!

Here are the specs. One truck I have they are mounted this way and another one they are mounted the other way. I think this way looks better if the arms on the hinges hit them OK. The measurements are 12 1/4" & 1/2". LockDoc
