Adjustable Tailgate Drop Height

[sikedsyko]

Has anyone seen a solution to adjust the tailgate's drop amount? Similar to the adjustable tailgate on the Maverick?

I have a hitch mounted bike carrier I use on occasion, but the tailgate will hit it if it opens all the way. I'd like a way to limit the drop on the tailgate so it doesn't interfere when the bike carriers on there.

that picture is using shorter cables but i think in reality, they loop the cable over the latch pin so it holds the tailgate up at an angle.

Yeah on the Maverick Multi-Position tailgate, the cables are shorter. The default mounting location is midway down the tailgate and then you can unlatch it and mount it higher for the higher tailgate position.

I have a Ride88 bracket that I use on my F-350. It fits my Raptor too.

You can loop the cable around the latch post and it will keep the tailgate open at an angle.
