How Many Bolts Are Used To Mount The Curt 5th Wheel Brackets To The Frame Of A 2012 Chevy Silverado
Question:
Per the directions I am supposed to have 4 holes through Frame to mount side brackets but I only have 2 so curious if that is fine or if there is a different mount for my specific application

On 2016 and newer models there's weld nuts available for you to insert two more bolts in the brackets for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204. Since you have a 2012 you're good to go with just the two bolts you referenced. In the attached video below where Dave installs these on a 2013 you'll see he only uses two bolts on the side brackets when attaching them to the frame.
