My tailgate gets stuck halfway, and I have to add force to bring it all the way down, it's scratching the paint on the tailgate too, my friend said it gets stuck on the roll pan

Sounds like something may b out of center. Or your roll pan could b out of center

Do you do a lot of off-roading? And what year truck?

Any going off curbs hard or having your truck at awkward angles where it might tweak the frame? I've seen tests of truck's tailgates getting stuck or even smashed when too much strain is put on the frame.

This is the drivers side moon. Just cleane it up and welded it back on and primed it. Took me all of bout 20 mins.
Grease that moon in ur tailgate. Maybe it's lockin up. Mine did. Then it snapped. Thus ^ lol
