I removed the stripper pole on my 2011 and 2015 trucks. Hated the hump in the tailgate when I was trying to slide table saws and other equipment into the bed.
Stripper pole unbolted and I threw away the plastic tail gate cover and bought a flat panel from a NON-Step tailgate and bolted it in place over the hole. Had the local Rhino line dealer spray it and I was good to go. So the parts from a Non step tailgate transfer over with no drill or tapping for new screws.
Now that all changed with the 2017 models. But I think most of the parts interchange on the older tailgates.
