Question Tailgate Rattle

I have a 2008 Screw FX4 and the the tailgate rattles when I hit bumps, and it keeps getting worse. Anybody else have this problem? Is there any way I can fix it?

YeahI checked all of that but no luck. I really think it is the tailgate, but not sure why it is rattling

Is your tailgate closed? Do you have stuff in the bed? You don't have your ball mount in the receiver? Sometimes the most obvious are the answer. Or like previous post ^^ take off your tailgate & see if it still does it.
