Very nice sturdy brackets. My 2016 Silverado already had the threaded nutserts in the frame. I was able to install, bolt down, and torque these brackets without removing the rear wheels, but you need to install the rails and bolts down through the brackets before you put the final torque on the brackets. Put the brackets on and hand tighten the bolts then do the rails, then do the final torque on the brackets. Be aware that these brackets are one for the left side and one for the right side and you can’t switch them. If you look at the bolt holes in the top of the brackets the rear most holes are more to the center of the truck. This is because the rear rails are bolted one notch more inward than the front rail. It sounds complicated but when you look at the instructions and get the

These worked great on my 2016 2500HD SLT Duramax Diesel. The instructions are not clear. It took my father and I a while because we had no truck lift and I didn’t watch the video before we started. I highly recommend watching a video. It made sense after that. I took the spare tire off, Bent the heat shield out of the way (bent it back when done) on the passengers side. On driver side we had to remove the cover inside the wheel well to access the bolts due to the fuel tank on that side. The layout of rail and drilling was very simple. Everything lined up perfectly. The most difficult part of this entire process was getting the washers and nuts on bolts and getting them tight due to space. The space is very very small to work in especially because we didn’t have a truck lift.

If fits. Remove spare. Remove heat shield. Orient brackets such that rear holes go more to center of truck (rear rail bolts are further in). You can reach all rail bolts from the back of the truck. Rail bolts are 110 ft/lbs and some could not be done using a torque wrench. Used closed wrench with cheater bar. First practiced the ‘feel’ on bolts which were torqued with torque wrench. Rail bolts above gas tank can be accessed from rear of truck. Used both sets of bolts on truck rails. These can be easily torqued by using the rear tire as leverage. For the higher set, place 2×6 piece of wood on tire to keep extension level. Re-install heat shield and spare. Use black spray paint on bolts….for a better ‘look’. Total time 4 hours. Did it myself and I am not a mechanic. Get a friend to hold rail
