I have the red ones I just pulled off my TrailBoss. 

 

Installed shackles which I personally like way better.

I don't think the Silverados will work on the Sierras... Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I wasn't sure of that either. I have read conflicting information on that.

The ones on my sierra are mounted vertically... Are yours the same or horizontally?

Picked up a set of black shackles on Amazon for $20 and they fit perfectly. Install was 15 minutes. Shackles are great when actually pulling stuff with your truck and a tow strap. 

 

As a tip... Use a piece of cardboard or something under the shackle braces when sliding them in place. This will prevent them digging into the plastic under them when getting lined up. Luckily I noticed this before anything went sideways. 

 

Also put some black zip ties on the shackle bolts to prevent them from creeping out or some 8 year old kid from taking them off in a parking lot.

Horizontal... I thought the frames were the same though??? Should fit regardless no?

No issues here. Truck is only a month old. Everything is still fresh underneath.

No they aren’t. The tow loop is vertical, but the mounts are horizontal. The loop turns 90 degrees. Check your mounts they will be horizontal where they bolt on.

 

You’ll have to get under the bumper to see it, it’s behind that little rubber boot thing.

I have some red ones I pulled off to put an aftermarket bumper on that I would sell. These are the real thing not some aftermarket version.
