    Just had a topper installed and I am worried about the door gasket wearing through my paint on the upper part of the tailgate.. do you all have any recommendations ?

    That's what I'd probably recommend as well.

    go for the relentless fab tailgate reinforcement. Full wraparound tailgate skin... much better.

    But really i dont see how a topper is gonna wear paint off, the stock tailgate has the plastic cap

    Agreed on that, if the tailgate protection is wanted and not just the top rail of the tailgate.
