The metal tab that keeps the anchor attached to the bed of the truck is a little long. You need to be prepared to bend it over itself; otherwise the anchor won't hold and work properly. Everything else is fine, GREAT QUALITY CONSTRUCTION. I had to replace the missing cables on my used=Facebook purchase of a air-flow fifth wheel tailgate.

I put a 5th wheel tailgate, which did not come with cables, on my 2016 F350. And since I did not want to take them off of my factory tailgate, I purchased these. They were the correct length and easy enough to install. I would have given them 5 stars but because of the lack of instructions and the locking tab being too long, I knocked off a star. And for those of you wondering, the limiting washer goes in-between the cable mount and the tailgate.

Great product at a great price. Keep the original lock washers from your old cables tho, the dog-eared ones. The new ones in this cable kit are cheap and thin, with no dog-eared keepers. You will thank me later !
