RLB-HILON Tailgate Hinge Body-Mounted Pair for Ford Trucks — Fits F-150/F-250/F-350/Ranger, Includes Bush Covers

RLB-HILON Tailgate Hinge Body Mounted with bush covers is a direct-fit replacement pair (left and right) engineered to restore smooth, secure tailgate operation on compatible Ford trucks.

If your truck’s tailgate sags, binds, or shows play at the hinge points, replacing worn hinges and bushings is the most reliable fix. This listing supplies one pair of body-mounted tailgate hinges with bush covers, made as aftermarket replacements for a range of Ford models. The parts correspond to OEM numbers E7TZ99430B38A and E7TZ99430B39A and are intended as direct-fit swaps for the original factory units.

Which Ford models and years will these hinges fit?

These hinges are designed for multiple Ford pickup and Ranger generations. Verify vehicle year and side (driver/passenger) before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

• Ford F-150 Heritage: 2004
• Ford F-150: 1987–2003
• Ford F-250 and F-350: 1987–1997
• Ford F-450: 1988–1996
• Ford Ranger: 1990–2011

How do these replacement hinges restore tailgate performance?

New hinge assemblies remove play and misalignment caused by worn pivot points and degraded bushings. Replacing both left and right hinges at the same time helps the tailgate close flush and reduces noise, sag, and uneven wear.

• Includes bush covers that help maintain bushing position and reduce contamination.
• Direct replacement geometry for factory alignment and mounting holes.
• Sold as a pair to correct both sides and ensure balanced operation.

What should I know about installation and compatibility?

These are aftermarket replacement parts supplied without installation instructions, so basic hand tools and a lift or jack to support the tailgate are helpful. Confirm the OEM numbers and vehicle year range before purchasing; the hinges are meant to match the original factory fit and fastening points.

• Replacement part numbers: E7TZ-99430B38-A and E7TZ-99430B39-A.
• Fits left (driver) and right (passenger) rear tailgate hinge positions.
• Installation generally requires removing the tailgate or supporting it while swapping hinges.

What are the package contents and what’s not included?

The product ships as a paired set of body-mounted tailgate hinges with bush covers, ready to replace the worn factory pieces. Hardware, paint, and step-by-step installation instructions are not included, so keep that in mind when planning the repair.

• Package: 1 pair of tailgate hinge body-mounted assemblies with bush covers.
• Does not include installation manual, specialized hardware, or paint.
