Tailgate fitment problem
When I installed my tailgate Im having issues closing it. When I close the tailgate it doesnt want to latch. The latch seems to be 1/8 inch from the latch hole. Also the tailgate doesnt get flush on the passenger side of the bed. any ideas for adjustment?

Re: Tailgate fitment problem
Tailgate--New or used? Any work done on bed quarters? Some of the aftermarket tailgates have significant alignment issues with the inner end panels.

Re: Tailgate fitment problem
Are Your Bedsides Sprung?. Use A Square At Both Corners Where The Bed Sides Meet The Floor. It Needs To Be Perfectly Square Or The Latch Wont Reech.
