I made the almost 800 mile round trip to Moberly when I was having the tailgate fiasco. When the office manager included in her last e-mail that they don't make mistakes I was in the truck in the next couple days. They were quite surprised when I walked into the office carrying the defective tailgate. It took a little while but the plant manager finally came to the office and escorted me and the tailgate to the back where the beds and parts are made. He measured and measured, compared my gate to 3 others and finally admitted all 4 had the hinges off center. When asked what I wanted I said lets measure a 32, we did and it was perfect. They were very apologetic as I was leaving. As I said above I had a good experience when I bought the assembled 32 bed. I'd buy another one but I'd go pick it up so I could inspect it.
