get a trailer, or a longer truck bed !. the cables they use today just flat out suck !!!!. bought my 2000 chevy Silverado brand new, two months into ownership, the tail gate cables started to fray, found out about a recall on them through the grape vine, never from the dealership !!, went to them, asked them to replace them, they said they was busy, did not have time .wth ?!..lol. told them to hand them to me, i'd replace them, took less than 2 mins to change them out. they are worthless !!!!. do not haul ANYTHING SITTING ON YOUR OEM FACTORY TAIL GATE !!.
