Tailgate bouncing around when down
 
Does anybody know how to keep the tailgate from bouncing around when down I can't even drive across the yard without sounding like somebody trying to ripe it off the truck. I've tried to put the shock that is for letting down, don't remember what its called but anyway that doesn't keep it from bouncing around neither. What do yall do to keep it from bouncing around.

Deal with it and slow down

Hire a fat person to sit on it and weigh it down?

The ez down tailgate assist will help keep it down but probably not stop it. Why do you need to drive around with the tailgate down? That actually hurts your mpgs.

Take it off, super easy.

take it off. or if you have stuff in the back put a piece of plywood under the stuff and on the tailgate to keep it down i used to do that with my 4 wheeler.

Lumber works..... But probably no help

Don't leave it open over rough roads because those two metal cables holding it will come off and you'll get two big ass dents when the tailgate falls on the bumper.

Get something to sit on it. When my dad and I go 4wheeling, we put his Honda Recon on the tailgate so it doesn't pop up and down
