You might go ahead and remove the tailgate and make sure the hinge/pivots are lubed good. There is a torsion bar that runs the length of the tailgate from the LH side to RH side. On the very bottom of the tailgate on the RH side you should see a machine screw, this screw goes into a block to pinch the torsion bar in place.
