Does anyone have the the 2" lift and a dealer installed tow package? Thanks.

Mine wasn't installed by the dealer, but it is a GM hitch (Chuck Hutton Chevrolet)
What's the question?

Yes, and No..NTXCrew wrote:does it work? is there a larger gap betweeen the bumper and the hitch?
There was a gap, but the GM (Valley) hitch is a three piece design. Which allows the center section to be raised.
You will have to drill new 1/2" holes aprox. 1.5" above the old ones (thats as far as it will go without modifying the bracket.)
Works great and you have a place to mount two recovery hooks when you're done.
Looks right, nice and close to the bumper without touching.

Only had to drill one hole each to mount them(used one of the stock holes)
Works good too! Pulled out Jasen's Superduty F250 with them

I remember that story. Too bad you never got pics.
