Keeps the bed from flexing
I’ve had a few instances parked in the dirt not level where I couldn’t open the tailgate because the bed was flexed. These went in pretty quick once I had the right tools. (The online instructions list the torx and regular socket sizes) First off, you need a few torx sockets (T55, T40, T30), I got a carbyne set and definitely recommend that one. Also having a small crescent wrench or even better a flex head box wrench is a must for holding the backside nut as there Is no angle for a regular straight socket. The whole thing took me about an hour by myself.

Easy to install
I will say these were easy to install. With the right tools it takes about 45 min. I had noticed when I got the truck that there was a wider gap at the top of the tailgate than the bottom. Apparently someone loaded the truck with some heavy cargo at least once. These closed up that gap and made it uniform top to bottom. They are the priciest option. A few manufacturers make a similar product that does the same thing for a good bit less, but they are often sold out. Finding these on amazon, I accepted the higher price for in stock and fast shipping. I feel this was a good purchase.

Good quality. Easy install.
Installed on a Toyota Tundra. Install was straight forward. Take your time. You need some small wrenches on the Tundra to work easily inside the tail light area. Hardest thing was getting a dropped nut.... I would buy this again, very solid and good quality. I painted the holes I drilled and filled with grease too. I like that this version also provides several more tie-down locations.

Sturdy, well designed, work well
Installed these in my truck after getting a topper that added weight to the bed. Too bad Toyota uses such thin steel that these are necessary but they work well. Only trick part of the install is you will need a stubby wrench for the bolts that go into the tail light housing. Instructions are easy to follow, all necessary hardware is provided. Quality product.

Thumbs up!
As far as I can tell they are and will continue to do exactly what they are supposed to do! I am glad I found them, installed on a 19 tundra, next plan is to Line-X and then add a camper shell

Decked
If you have a duct system you will have to mod a little bit. But definitely worth it
