Skid Plates?

[bgweed]

You can buy the 2 front skid plates seperate and save a little money. I found the part numbers and went to the dealer and ordered them.

 

The part #s for the skids are:

Front from behind bumper to first crossmember. 23135960

Rear from first to second crossmembers under axle/rack. 23135959

Do you know if these would have to be modified as per CamCamero1991's post below?

 

They will work, however on my 2016 I had to enlarge the rear holes on the front plate, 2 sets of plates did not bolt up. (front only)

Which part number(s) did you buy that you had to modify? The individual plates or the 3-piece kit?

 

The picture on GM's site is of the plastic shield but you get the aluminum ones. I just got mine last week and had them sprayed in Line-X.

 

Did you have to modify your plates at all to fit your 2016, as per CamCamaro1991 mentioned?

My holes were slightly off. I had seen his comment prior to my install so I expected some variance. I also knew it would be a tighter fit due to the bed liner spray. I used a drill to shave a little off and fit all bolts very loosely and worked my way around a little at the time. That front plate would not have fit out of the box without a little widening of the holes. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. Also one reason I didn't try to order the plates separately is I wasn't sure they would include the proper bolts although you could use the ones from the plastic shield and cross members.

So if I order the separate 2 plates. I will be fine with the bolts coming off the plastic piece (2 bigger bolts/4 smaller) then the 2 bolts from driver side diff support and 2 bolts in passenger side diff support. No extras are needed?

You'll need 8 large bolts for the new front plates so I guess you would be short 2...

It's not really any cheaper to get them separate because the shipping almost doubles

For the extra 6$ you'll get he transfer skid and the bolts for it all so that's not a bad investment over just the 2 plates.

Outstanding!!! I either missed it or there isn't a year model in these posts. Will these fit a 2014 1500? Also, anyone had any luck on a rear dif metal plate?

Received my skid plate kit today. 3 plates with the 8 bolts for $205 delivered. The truck came with the transfer plate so I'll sell it. Bill Cramer GM has them and other parts / accessories listed on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271607751458?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That looks great and should be super durable. I've already sent an email to my local dealership to get a quote.

So, if I factor in the exchange rate, I should be around double that lol.

My bed liner dealer charged $100 to spray my step bars and brackets. I'll get a price for the plates.

 

AND, does the hole in the second plate give access to the oil filter? Read where another guy covered it because it didn't.
