Skid Plates

Can skid plates be added to 2009 2500HD crew cab? I have 4x4 but no skid plates, and I'd like to add the skid plates if possible.

 

Thanks!

I'm sure you can add them, but I wouldn't bother.

 

They came on my truck, they don't protect much of anything (one of them is plastic!), and they get in the way changing oil, etc.

 

Save your money for a few tanks of fuel.

Cheaper and better to build your own, a little 1/4" plate and a little creativity and youll do a lot better than the factory tinfoil crap.

I always pulled them off my '08 HD to change the oil... 4 bolts... took 2 minutes and less mess... just bought an 09 2500HD CC LTZ and it didn't have them. Out of curiosity, I looked at the frame and the hole cut outs are on the cross members, but there were no threads for the bolts. I was surprised, but I guess I didn't need them that bad or I would have bought a truck with 'em.

I just added them to my 09 2500HD CC LTZ 4x4. The holes are threaded, the threads are filled in with the coating on the frame from factory. You can use a tap to clean the threads up or just take your time with the bolts to clean the threads up.

They should bolt right up. I am sure you can get some nice aftermarket ones for a decent price.
