Providing a stout mounting point to both hinges and installs using the factory positions. The Hinge Reinforcement features 5/8" case hardened steel hinge pins with bronze bushings that connect the solid cast aluminum brace to the 3/8” forged steel hinge brackets. Eliminates tailgate stress and rattles while providing superior strength over the factory strap hinges. While also offering the option to also replace the factory spare tire mount with a heavy duty version that offers additional clearance for that larger spare tire. No drilling required.
