2008 Tailgate adjustment
Just wondering if any of you that have installed the 08 style tailgate on your truck had to adjust anything. I installed my 08 tailgate yesterday and it looks like the tailgate needs to come to the passenger side. Its almost hitting the bed on the drivers side and has a bigger gap on the drivers side. I was thinking about trying to put a shim behind the hinge you replace on the drivers side hopefully shifting the tailgate over to the passenger side.

I changed out the bracket on the drivers side but what are the grommets your talking about?

Okay im sure I have those. The tailgate is on my truck and opens and closes fine. Its just sitting like 1/16 or 1/8" closer to the drivers then the passengers side. Its almost touching the bed/tailight on the drivers side and its got a big gap on the passenger side. Ive got some 1/8" body shims that im gonna put behind the bracket on the drivers side and see if it centers the tailgate up better. I did some searching today and found where one other guy had to do the same.
