Nice work. When I had mine painted (12 years ago, time flies), the body guy that took it apart couldn't figure it out either. He wanted to redneck it and screw it down to the tailgate to keep it from flapping. Luckily he didn't drill into my new paint before I got there, I had it figured out in 15 mins. That is some old school thinking on how that thing works. The tailgate down, plate can still show.

I know the question was about the spring, but I think the wire is out of place here. Shouldn't it be routed through the channel formed by the spring bracket?

This is the rest of Newport.

You are correct on the channel. And I will leave it alone, I hate wiring.

Anyone know what size bolts/screws hold that bracket on the tailgate?
