[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 443400, member: 19161"] If I ever replace mine, I'll go with a model that distributes the weight to the frame, not the tailgate. If the vehicle is the slightest bit leaned to the passenger side and you let that tailgate loose with that 110lb tire & wheel, it'll hit the stops and "spring the hinges," is the term used in construction when a door or storm door is opened too far and it binds back against the hinges, which is what my wife did. It was bound after that and I had to really push to get it closed until me and my neighbor spent a couple hours taking it apart and tried to drive the hinge pins out. The pins are pressed in and don't come out. [/QUOTE]
