Smile Replaced mine

I replaced mine recently with replacements from Ford.. I tend to use the tailgate as a ladder on a regular basis, since I weigh in at over 350lbs, I figured I would get the stocks, they lasted 12 years...

They were about $19.00 each.

Very easy to replace, only took about 5 mins total...

I just replaced mine this weekend. Bought a pair on eBay for $14.95 plus shipping. Came out to about the same price as one cable from Bronco Graveyard. Seem to be good quality.
