Product Overview
A tailgate that suddenly drops past level, feels uneven, or has one cable showing broken strands should not be trusted with cargo weight. These cables carry the open tailgate load, and one failed side puts extra stress on the remaining cable and hinge points.
This cable design is widely used across the GMT800-era Silverado/Sierra family and related tailgate-equipped models. On 2007 pickups, confirm the Classic/old-body-style truck because the redesigned body uses different hardware.
