Does anybody know what the weight limit is for the stock tailgate cables?

Thanks

A normal truck cable will hold up to 820lbs, but for liability reasons they won't give actual load rating. They will hold more than the flimsy plastic tailgate can handle.

Yea my worry would be the tailgate. The cables should be fine. I haven't looked but can a person reinforce the tailgate where the cables attach? Kind of thinking something to distribute the weight throughout a bigger surface.

you could try to make your own cable bracket that is bigger. but it is still a flimsy piece of plastic that you are bolting onto..
