Help with GM 2 Inch Lift Kit

[Red6.2]

I installed a GM Trailboss 2 inch lift kit on a friend's 2023 Silverado and got everything on exept the frame reinforcement brackets. I could not figure out where they go or what they are for. Any help on where they go on would be appreciated.

Here's a link to the install instructions.  Looks weird...kind of like a collision bracket to prevent you from running over short vehicles.

Thanks. Do you happen to have the part numbers for the bolts and nuts needed to install this.

Everything you needed came with the kit....if you're missing parts I would contact the GM dealer you bought it from and let them sort it out.

 

Otherwise.....bolt (1) and nut (2) are provided...you could simply measure the diameter/length needed and hit a hardware store.  For #3 you have two options.  One take the provided spring nut (you didn't say you were missing that) to the hardware store and get a bolt that matches in the right length or buy a new spring nut and matching bolt.

 

 

You have another option...leave it off.  I'm fairly certain it's intended to prevent overrun during a collision.  Don't rear-end anyone.
