What kind of clearance is under the tailgate?

Does anyone have any idea how much clearance there is under the tailgate in the slot where guys mount their brakelight strip? I’m looking at mounting a couple white pods for reverse there and need to know how thick the pod can be before I order it. Obviously don’t want it to get crushed in the tailgate when it opens. From what I can tell, I might have around 3/4”, but I wanted to see if anyone has has any issues running anything thicker than the normal brakelight strip there.

 

Welcome to the forum .

Go buy some modeling clay, put it where you want the light and open the tailgate. This will show you exactly how much space you have, won't damage anything -- and it is cheap too!
