[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 455058, member: 24042"] If it's creaking and rattling, I'd make the upgrade a priority. The pivot style carriers that I mentioned don't just spread the weight out. They totally remove the weight from the tailgate and transfer it to the structural beam in the body tub. Not as strong as a frame mount, but far stronger than any piece of sheet metal. The tailgate check straps in the JK Wrangler are horribly under-engineered. Which is a polite way of saying they're utter crap. It's absolutely something you should upgrade, and the paracord straps are much better than OEM-style offerings. [/QUOTE]
