Does anyone know if there is a place on this gate to attach the factory tailgate support cables? Thanks

Yeah it goes in the "square holes" don't tighten to much or the cables won't bend

There is a slot below the latches that I used. I took the bolts out of the tailgate on my 2003 GMC and stuck them through the slots and put a washer and bolt on the inside.

Yes. Take a bolt and put it through the long open slot and put a nut on it and tighten down. Then put the strap on and then another bolt and tighten it. You may use a washer in between if you like. It works great.

You are supposed to use your factory cables on this tailgate as per the manufacturer.

I don't know if the tailgate area is the same as my 2001 Silverado 3500. This is the secondtailgate I've had and happy with it. First one was stolen.

The version that I have does not have a bolt. It has 2 cables on the underside of the rollout cover that when pulled releases the latches on either side. Which makes the lock on the tailgate useful. IMO good system no extra keys to carry around.

No. You can only open the side at the tailgate since you have to release the clamps that are located under the cover. Only the back clamps are the quick release type. They are only accessable when the tailgate is open.

My dad is a mechanic and when we went to replace ours he said to replace both otherwise you will have one strong spring and one weak one and it could damage the tailgate due to greatly imbalanced forces on the ends.

No, it relies on you reusing the existing bolts. There are 8 1/2" bolts holding on the original pieces. Mine were a little rusted but WD40 did the trick. Basically undid them all, took off the tailgate. Bolted the new pieces in place and I was good to go. Quite simple.

Call and make sure u get the model for the sport doors. The one I origionally got was for the family bars an didn't fit properly. The one I got came with the bed cover an fit on the factory tailgate chtannel

Anywhere you like. I mounted mine behind the tailgate. I drilled a small hole through the tailgate skin and sealed it with clear silicone

First thing that comes to mind is........move both side rails more forward. You may have to slot the holes.I slotted the back holes ( close to the tailgate) to allow the back to contact the tail for a better seal.

On my 2013 F150 FX4 with tailgate step, the ball stud fits in the existing hole on the tailgate. The top bracket (with another ball stud) fits under the existing stud that the existing tailgate lanyard connects to. Then the assist ram connects to both ball studs. These locations are on the side of the tailgate and do not impact installation or operation due to spray in bed liner.

You know im not sure. Depends on the rear window. The rear window must have like a hard plastic small diameter tube like stick that runs the bottom length of the window. This tube slides into the tailgate bar . The tail gate bar comes with the brackets you need to mount to the tub on each side of the window. .

I can open my tailgate with no issues at all. Be sure you review the Anderson website and determine the proper drop / model.

No you can only open from tailgate end. However, if you are handy you could replace the bolt tightening cover holders in the front with something easy to work so you can take it completely off. My toolbox is under the front third and it would be great to easily get into it. That is my next project.

Stephen... Go onto the Dee Zee (google) page and put in ur make and model number. Sometimes it won't come up on Amazon. I'm sure they have one to fit ur '07. Tailgates don't change that much...... It doesn't require any drilling. It utilizes the hole that is already in the gate, along with existing holes in the body. The only thing u have to do is to tap a pull up thread into the hole on the gate. The kit all comes with the Dee Zee pkg. just follow the directions...very easy.

Greetings: We have added 15lbs of extra pressure to these in that we had complaints about the factory supports. We also have a higher pressure one not listed on Amazon that many have requested in that they have added a ladder to the liftgate which adds more weight. If you need that you would need to call us a 1-760-744-2956 to order. Thank You, Lou Fishman

It does. The emblems come prepped for both front and back. Tailgate logo area has holes for the prongs and is held in place with the preinstalled adhesive. All that needs to be done on the tailgate install is peal off the plastic, align the prongs into the holes, and press firmly.

Yes. You will need to make sure that you have A tailgate bar and soft top window surrounds. I learned the hard way that it's useless without those.
