Question What is this bracket??

It's been too long since i took this truck apart and I cannot remember what this bracket is for. The frame is getting cut from long to short bed and this bracket has to get out of the way to do so. If its something I need I'll have to put it back on after the cut down. The first picture just kinda shows the brackets location and the second is a close up of what it looks like. Thanks guys!

Looks like the muffler hanger bracket to me.

Well that makes me feel better! No wonder I can't remember what it went to. When I took it apart..... it was connected to nothing.

I'm not going to say it isn't the muffler bracket but it looks like it's to far forward for one thoe. I was guessing the e-brake maybe.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
