Tailgate Hinge Kit Compatible with 1999-2007 Classic Chevy

If your pickup's tailgate sags, squeaks, or no longer aligns properly, this complete hinge kit includes both left and right hinges plus the bolts needed to bring the tailgate back to factory-fit performance. APPERFiT engineered these hinges to match OEM dimensions so they install cleanly on the tailgate panel and the body mounting points, making them a direct replacement for worn original parts.

How will this kit fix a sagging or misaligned tailgate?

Worn hinge pivots and stretched bolt holes let the tailgate drop or hang unevenly. Replacing both left and right hinges and all mounting bolts restores the original mounting geometry so the tailgate sits level and closes squarely every time.

• Includes 2 left and 2 right hinges for full, balanced replacement
• Supplied with 8 tailgate bolts to secure hinges to the body and tailgate
• Manufactured to match OEM fitment for accurate alignment
