FAQ
Q: Will this fit my 2021 Silverado 1500 LT?
A: Yes. This kit fits all 2019-2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 models, including LT trims, as long as it is not the Silverado 1500 LD version.
Q: What is the difference between Silverado 1500 and Silverado 1500 LD?
A: The Silverado 1500 LD is an older body style continuation model and uses a different tailgate mounting design. This kit is designed only for the new 2019+ body style.
