Man I just came across this video 6yrs later and you can’t be more right. Im glad u spoke the truth, them bolts ain’t no joke doing 06 Tahoe right now.
FYI, next time or if someone is watching this. The bed bolts on a 1500 have to be removed slightly in the rear for the bumper brackets to clear on that model of GM.
It's 21 mm for the bolts by the receiver 18 mm for the nuts 15 mm for the nuts dropped the back to bed bolts out loud you to raise the bed enough for the bumper to slide right out otherwise bumper will catch on the back flange of the bed and fight you all day. Bed bolts are 18 mm as well.
You have to take off some bolts and loosen the rest. Can’t leave any tight because it will bind and if you force it it will bend parts that you don’t want bent. I was only here for torque specs.
