I pulled the brackets off a Blazer ("4x4" brackets). They installed those brackets. Matter of fact, they drilled through the brackets for the front holes, right near the "bite" demonstrated by the above picture (post 22). They're more slots than holes, there's not enough area for a hole.

At least they didn't drill through the frame. I'm certain my frame is factory right, no where else makes sense to have punched different holes
