The '08 has an assist spring to help with closing the tailgate. From what I have read, you'll need to drill a few holes to facilitate the spring installation. I know a few guys have done it, but I don't think anyone has done a write-up on it.

With an '08 tailgate, you'll also need new tail lights if you want the gate to line-up properly.
