Product Overview
Frayed strands, rusted ends, stretched cables, or a tailgate that drops past level mean the supports are no longer dependable. Replacing both sides together keeps the open gate supported evenly and reduces stress on the hinges.
This is a mechanical tailgate support cable, not a control or wiring cable. Match length, eyelet ends, attachment hardware, and bed/tailgate design.
