Maybe you need a lift gate to lift the grocery bags up

Seriously. I have a Lift gate (for sale). It is capable of lifting up 1500lbs

Lol... this thread is too funny.
I'll gladly lift a tailgate that weighs less than my spare tire, happy with the fact that we have tailgates made of REAL metal. Look what happened to Toyota when they first came out with the Tundra... flimsy tin can tailgate couldn't even handle loading a 4 wheeler.

We put the tailgate spring on today. The install was pretty easy, but the results weren't nearly as good as the Tundra's. It can be lifted with one arm now without having to crouch down at all, so it's a nice improvement that'll make my bad wrist happy, but it's nowhere near the Tundra's finger-light tailgate.
Maybe a second spring is in order... I WILL have the laziest F-250 in the land, dammit!

It's just two holes drilled, one on the bed just above the tailgate hinge, and then a second hole on the bottom of the tailgate itself. I'll try and get some pics after work today.

The ad says it's a torsion bar design...any way to adjust the tension on the torsion bar?
