Just as advertised.Perfect function easy to install.I would definitely buy again if ever needed.

Shipped well packaged. I did not have to use all the parts, fixed my tailgate latch perfectly. Good kit. Very easy to install.

I have a extended bed single cab, 2000 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3 Liter. I got it as a hand me down and I started to make it a project truck.I figured I needed to redo the tailgate because everything is rusting, plus the handle broke on me when i tried to open.I looked at this tailgate kit and it seemed a direct fit. (Fitment guide even said it was)Oh boy was I wrong. Where do I start...The bolts that come with kit dont even have a grade to them, the bolts from the truck are 9.8 grade,metric m8 1.25 threads. I was scared they would snap like twigs, so I didnt use them, ended up buying new 10.9 grade just to be sure....I installed the hinges that hold and also let the tailgate to swing down, to the bed of the truck, next to the taillight, they seemed solid.I tried installing the tailgate wire suspenders/safety wire and they were to short, the tailgate wasnt flat when fully open, more like a slant. They were very bulky from original and poorly made, wire was already coming out of the knot (made some scratches on the truck when installed and trying to close)The handle component that opens the latches so the tailgate may come down was also ok. It was lubed up and was able to open easily when pulled.The tailgate latches lock the tailgate on both sides of the tailgate in the vertical position to the truck bed, they are connected to the handle component by metal rods with small hooks on both ends. They also have a rubber bumper so if you were to slam it harder, its ok.Left side latch was great, it locked into place, solid.The right side didnt fully lock. You would have to slam it shut and when you did, you can hear the click that it locked but the smallest amount of pressure on the tailgate on right side and that latch would open causing the tailgate to slam down. The right latch was garbage.One thing that made me pissed was the hinges that go onto the tailgate itself. They were made so bad! They could not fit at all! It was so bad that I had to double check myself that I didnt order a different truck kit. It stated it was for my truck model and year.I ended up reshaping the whole part. I had to use a anvil, heavy duty table vise, big flat hammer and other random tools. I spent hours flattening and bending the metal, so that it would resemble the original pieces I took off.After alot of effort, I was able to reproduce the original with the garbage pieces they gave me.The plastic cover they gave me for the handle was already damaged. One clip of the four was already broken off, so when you try to put on. It didn't really feel secure against the metal of the tailgate and wobbled back n forth.This kit by far was a waste of money and my time, in my opinion it was more of a scam!For around $60 plus trip to store to get new correct grade boltsThe tailgate hinges were not correct at all, one of the two latches wouldnt fully close n stay closed. The bolts were absolute garbage and should never be used for this task at all!(This is a safety concern when your tailgate rips off and hits the person behind you)The two safety wires for the tailgate were to short, making a slant when tailgate is down.The plastic handle cover was already damaged when it arrived, yet no damage to the shipping boxThe only pieces that were correct and worked was the handle to open the tailgateAnd the hinges that attach to the bed of the truck, everything else was trash made or broken before installing.HOW IS THIS NOT A SCAM!?DO NOT BUY!! DO NOT BUY!!!!BUYER BEWARE!!

Giving this a 4 star review since the latches won't stay on my 2004 Sierra. If you shake the tailgate they come undone so I had to reuse the old latches. The handle, cables and other components work great besides that.

This kit came with everything you need!! Took 30 minutes to complete. Great price!

Great rebuild kit. Has everything to replace broken or worn out parts

This is perfect..it will make your old gate feel new again

Cables were different length. The hinges are bent incorrectly and do not fit at all. The handle and latches did work and fit well.
