Aftermarket Tailgate
Just curious as to what brand of aftermarket tailgates seem to be the best to use for a fleet-side? I noticed Summit sells AMD, OER, and Goodmark (much more expensive). I saw the reviews all seem to be pretty good. I plan on making a trip to the Summit this weekend with a friend and figured I could pick one up while I was there. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I also have a tailgate band for my truck so I wouldn't need a lettered tailgate. Thanks

Re: Aftermarket Tailgate
If summit has both, feeel the weight.. Some aftermarkets use a lighter guage steel and they bow very easily.

Re: Aftermarket Tailgate
Before people chime in and say "They're all made by the same manufacturer " I respect your opinion but ..
In my experience and in my opinion KeyParts is the go-to for re-pop sheetmetal. I think Summit carries KeyParts but I'm not sure. AMD would be my second choice. Hope this helps.
