Torklift Frame Tie Downs

I’m going to install Torklift tie downs on my 2012 F350 gas truck, but there is a bent plate on the drivers side between the body mount and the rear springs, front hanger. Can I remove this? It does not appear in the Torklift video.

Found out it’s the mount for the DEF tank, obviously not needed with a gas truck, so I removed it.

You had me stumped. It was not on my 2011 F350 gas truck when I put on the Torklift tie downs.

doesn’t surprise me that in Torklifts install vid or even a mention of it. Let em know they need a revision on their installation instructions.

Did you have anything attached to it for your diesel?
