Easy to follow instructions, install involved removing a factory heat shield, which wasnt easy, but was completed. Small hands made a hard to reach area easier to thread a nut onto a bolt, all other locations were easy to complete. No problems a year after install. Etrailer had been prompt, easy to contact by email prior to purchase, to verify product, and prompt shipping. Followed recommendation to additionally purchase all new bolt kit with these brackets.

According to Reese, they do not offer a fifth wheel bracket kit at this time that would use the threaded holes you located. Because the # RP50066 is a fit for the 2019 Silverado 2500, Reese hasnt developed anything for those existing threaded attachment points. So, youll just want to continue on following the installation instructions, as there are existing holes that will allow you to install the brackets without drilling.
