It sounds like you might be seeing the counterweight spring. Beginning in '08 they counterbalance the weight of the gate. Got a picture?

I could be wrong, but I believe it is meant to set the tailgate on when removing it. A friend removes the gate on his old dodge to make room for his sled on weekends, but then puts it back on for the week so he can haul stuff (he is a carpenter); any way, his truck has something similar that he sets the gate on while he removes the second hinge.
