That set up won't work on the 04's. It has a piston that goes inside the taillight cavity. Ours is molded differently so it won't fit.

That's the best alternative.

It's interesting when someone who owns an 06 lowers the gate on my 04.

Wham!!!!!!!!!!!! Surprise.

Re: 08 Tailgate spingloaded hinges for my 04?

So this courtesy part, does it work ok. Its just that my 3 year old son on day reached up and unlatched it and if it wasent for me catching it, it would have fell on him.

Re: 08 Tailgate spingloaded hinges for my 04?

Could he not do an 05 swap, or are they the same as the 08? My 05 has the “spring” loaded tail gate.

Just a thought,

Re: 08 Tailgate spingloaded hinges for my 04?

I suppose one could swap a whole bed........ but I believe the hinge assembly is different from 04 to the rest..

The one from Courtesy requires drilling a few holes... that kind of turned me off

Lemme look - someone did do this. It involves some work, but it is possible...

We went round and round on this when they first came out with the 05 tailgate assist.

The result was a no can do.

Yeah, but the hokey "add a shock across your tailgate" option just looked too rigged.....
