Mid-Rear Frame Section (ART-169X-S) Set

Description

Fitment: 2007-2014 2nd gen Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Ext & Crew Cab & 3rd gen GMC Sierra 1500 Ext & Crew Cab, Both Driver and Passenger sides

Our SafeTCap® ART-169X-S Mid-Rear Frame Section was created to fit both the Ext cab, 2nd gen Silverado 1500, and 3rd gen Sierra 1500. We’ve designed the ART-169 to cap the frame beginning right after the rear cab mount and ending just before the rear fuel tank cross member (ART-139-2). This part is approximately 31″ long and will cap the entire height of the frame leaving only .75″ from the top of the original frame to weld the SafeTCap® frame kit. The ART-169 is designed to be installed without the need to remove the forward bed mount and/or spring mount from your frame, depending on the severity of the rust. The ART-169 has removeable plates to notch around the original spring mount by just continuing the cut lines, see pictures for details.

PLEASE NOTE:  This part will work on the Long Bed, however there will be trimming necessary around the leaf spring mount for fitment.

Our ART-169’s are manufactured from only domestic 11ga steel. Comes with detailed installation instructions

If you need to replace or repair the rear leaf spring mount, see our listing for the ART-171 Rear Spring Mount.
