Stepside tailgate supports

I am looking for some ideas for chainless tailgate supports for stepsides. I got rid of the chains and brackets and put in hidden latches. Anyone have any clean solutions? Let's see some pics.
Thanks

This is what the PO did with this setup. I like it, but it needs a little refinement.

Re: Stepside tailgate supports

I thought about going to the newer type cables like on the newer trucks but still have my chains. They work pretty well.
