Same for the one I just put on, a little disappointed. I also had one before and it was awesome. This one hardly does anything. I'm going to go back and see what they say.

What , no sleeve ? Your tailgate is loose? I can't recall if mine came with a sleeve or I added one to tighten that up ? Perhaps I added one. Well anyway, that's what I did in the past. I'm pretty sure Ford uses sleeves that work like a shim to tighten them up. But, they're made out of PVC and breakable. I know I did something there in the past, I'll have to take a look; I think I sub'ed the PVC for a brass type bushing.

Perhaps they have girly arms or don't want to break a nail??

Biggest problem I've had with tailgates in the past (when I was a younger youngster) was bending them. I managed to U them after awhile..carelessness I expect. My loads would never stay still.
